Tournament selection has been widely used and studied in evolutionary algorithms. To supplement the study of tournament selection, this paper provides several models describing th...
One of the most controversial yet enduring hypotheses about what genetic algorithms (GAs) are good for concerns the idea that GAs process building-blocks. More specifically, it ha...
In this paper, a model based on genetic algorithms for protein folding prediction is proposed. The most important features of the proposed approach are: i) Heuristic secondary str...
