"Optimal" mutation rates for genetic search
Using a set of model landscapes we examine how different mutation rates affect different search metrics. We show that very universal heuristics, such as 1/N and the error threshol...

A genetic model based on simulated crossover of quaternary genes for quadratic fitness
We present a genetic model based on simulated recombination of fixed sequences of quaternary genes (assuming four distinct forms, or alleles). States and dynamics of the infinite ...

Structure and metaheuristics
Metaheuristics have often been shown to be effective for difficult combinatorial optimization problems. The reason for that, however, remains unclear. A framework for a theory of ...

Applicability issues of the real-valued negative selection algorithms
The paper examines various applicability issues of the negative selection algorithms (NSA). Recently, concerns were raised on the use of NSAs, especially those using real-valued r...

The no free lunch and realistic search algorithms
The No-Free-Lunch theorems (NFLTs) are criticized for being too general to be of any relevance to the real world scenario. This paper investigates, both formally and empirically, ...
