The runtime analysis of randomized search heuristics is a growing field where, in the last two decades, many rigorous results have been obtained. These results, however, apply pa...

Simulated binary crossover (SBX) is a real-parameter recombination operator which is commonly used in the evolutionary algorithm (EA) literature. The operator involves a parameter...
Biologically inspired designs can improve the design of artificial agents. In this paper we explain and explore the role of directional light sensors from an Evolutionary Robotic...
Standard detection algorithms for nonlinearity linkage fail when applied to typical problems in the analysis of financial time-series data. We explain how this failure arises whe...
Recent work has introduced a simulation model of ecological processes in terms of a very simple Particle Swarm algorithm. This abstract model produced qualitatively realistic beha...
This paper deals with the adaptive variance scaling issue in continuous Estimation of Distribution Algorithms. A phenomenon is discovered that current adaptive variance scaling me...
A series of evolutionary neural network simulations are presented which explore the hypothesis that learning factors can result in the evolution of long periods of parental protec...
Recent research into single–objective continuous Estimation– of–Distribution Algorithms (EDAs) has shown that when maximum–likelihood estimations are used for parametric d...
