— One of the major driving forces of Bacterial Foraging Optimization Algorithm (BFOA) is the reproduction phenomenon of virtual bacteria each of which models one trial solution o...
— Recently it has been proved that the (1+1)-EA produces poor worst-case approximations for the vertex cover problem. In this paper the result is extended to the (1+λ)-EA by pro...
Abstract— We consider a distributed multi-agent network system where the goal is to minimize an objective function that can be written as the sum of component functions, each of ...
This paper presents a study of parallel genetic algorithms (GAs) with multiple populations (also called demes or islands). The study makes explicit the relation between the probab...
Significant improvement over a patented lens design is achieved using multi-objective evolutionary optimization. A comparison of the results obtained from NSGA2 and ε-MOEA is done...
