In the running of a genetic algorithm, the population is liable to be con ned in the local optimum, that is the metastable state, making an equilibrium. It is known that, after a l...
In the pertinent literature, an ongoing discussion can be found about whether evolutionary algorithms are better suited for optimization or adaptation. Unfortunately, the pertinent...
Abstract. The standard choice for mutating an individual of an evolutionary algorithm with continuous variables is the normal distribution. It is shown that there is a broad class ...
