Abstract. The implementation of an evolutionary algorithm necessarily involves the selection of an appropriate set of genetic operators. For many real-world problem domains, an inc...
This paper presents a new type of genetic algorithm for the set covering problem. It differs from previous evolutionary approaches first because it is an indirect algorithm, i.e. ...
Among the many codings of spanning trees for evolutionary search are those based on bijections between Pr¨ufer strings—strings of n−2 vertex labels—and spanning trees on th...
Genetic programming may be seen as a recent incarnation of a long-held goal in evolutionary computation: to develop actual computational devices through evolutionary search. Geneti...
The pharmaceutical industry is facing an ever-increasing demand to discover novel drugs that are more effective and safer than existing ones. The industry faces huge problem in im...
