Empirical investigations on parallel competent genetic algorithms
This paper empirically investigates parallel competent genetic algorithms (cGAs) [4]. cGAs, such as BOA [21], LINCGA [15], D5 -GA [28], can solve GA-difficult problems by automati...

A multi-start quantum-inspired evolutionary algorithm for solving combinatorial optimization problems
Quantum-inspired evolutionary algorithms (QIEAs), as a subset of evolutionary computation, are based on the principles of quantum computing such as quantum bits and quantum superp...

Estimation of pump-curves using genetic algorithms
This paper presents a variety of different ways of estimating the general parameters for pump-curves. First a formulation is made that converts the problem into estimating four p...

Convergence analysis of quantum-inspired genetic algorithms with the population of a single individual
In this paper, the Quantum-inspired Genetic Algorithms with the population of a single individual are formalized by a Markov chain model using a single and the stored best individ...

Neuro-evolution for a gathering and collective construction task
In this paper we apply three Neuro-Evolution (NE) methods as controller design approaches in a collective behavior task. These NE methods are Enforced Sub-Populations, MultiAgent ...

Rank based variation operators for genetic algorithms
We show how and why using genetic operators that are applied with probabilities that depend on the fitness rank of a genotype or phenotype offers a robust alternative to the Sim...

Crossover can provably be useful in evolutionary computation
We show that the natural evolutionary algorithm for the all-pairs shortest path problem is significantly faster with a crossover operator than without. This is the first theoret...
