This paper introduces two new representations for real-parameter spaces--the Dedekind and Isodedekind representations. Point mutation and uniform crossover--in their generalised, ...
Genetic algorithms (GAs) are multi-dimensional and stochastic search methods, involving complex interactions among their parameters. For last two decades, researchers have been tr...
We analyze the schema theorem and the building block hypothesis using a recently derived, exact schemata evolution equation. We derive a new schema theorem based on the concept of...

There has been considerable discussion of the pros/cons of recombination and mutation operators in the context of Holland's schema theory. In this paper we de ne a common fra...
In the case where the search space has a group structure, classical genetic operators (mutation and two-parent crossover) which respect the group action are completely characterize...

Geometric crossover is a representation-independent generalization of traditional crossover for binary strings. It is defined using the distance associated to the search space in ...
