Traditional Genetic Algorithms (GA) use crossover and mutation as the main genetic operators to achieve population diversity. Previous work using a biologically inspired genetic o...
Abstract. This paper proposes the fitness control procedure for the application of genetic algorithms (GA) in pattern recognition. Instead of using GA to solve a concomitant optim...
A parallel implementation of a genetic algorithm used to evolve simple analog VLSI circuits is described. The parallel computer system consisted of twenty distributed SPARC workst...
This is a summary of the most important results presented in the author's PhD thesis (Spanjaard, 2003). This thesis, written in French, was defended on 16 December 2003 and su...
We discuss fast exponential time solutions for NP-complete problems. We survey known results and approaches, we provide pointers to the literature, and we discuss several open prob...
