In this paper we test whether a correlation exists between the optimal mutation rate and problem difficulty. We find that the range of optimal mutation rates is inversely proporti...
Decentralized Markov Decision Processes are a powerful general model of decentralized, cooperative multi-agent problem solving. The high complexity of the general problem leads to...
This paper presents a comprehensive, multivariate account of how initial population material is used over the course of a genetic programming run as while various factors influenc...
