Using a directed mutation can improve the efficiency of processing many optimization problems. The first mutation operators of this kind proposed by Hildebrand [1], however, suffer...
: In a canonical genetic algorithm, the reproduction operators (crossover and mutation) are random in nature. The direction of the search carried out by the GA system is driven pur...
Abstract. Developing directed mutation methods has been an interesting research topic to improve the performance of genetic algorithms (GAs) for function optimization. This paper i...
