Evolut Ionary Programming

چکیده
Recently there have been advances in strati ed sampling techniques that attempt to enforce equal distributions not only across the design variables, but also onto the design space itself. This requires a numerically intensive optimization routine. Until now, no optimization strategy was able to distribute sample points evenly in the design space, but Evolutionary Algorithms (EA) act as an enabling technology to spread in such a way that the minimum distance between points is near ideal for the design space. The proposed technique is applied to a standard probabilistic analysis problem, a one-degree of freedom oscillator simulating a blade near harmonic resonance. The Evolutionary Programming results compared to Latin Hypercube Sampling indicate a better estimate with a smaller con dence interval.

Evolution of Bit Strings II: A Simple Model of Co-Evolution
In this pap er we present the results of simple co-evolut ionary models that simulate the tempora l development of a populati on of interact ing bit strings . Each bit st ring is decoded into funct ional groups called "genes." The indi vidu als participate in a pro cedure similar to t he Darwini an principle, that is, random int eraction (in which the genes det ermine the fitness of an ind ivid...
متن کاملA Central Limit Theorem for the Population Process of Genetic Algorithms
A genet ic algorithm (GA) is a stochastic search and optimization algorithm th at works by iterative application of several evolut ionary operators on populations of solutions. We introduce a central limit theorem for the populat ion process when populat ion size grows. The theorem approximates a GA by a continuous gaussian process. This leads to a numerical method for the examination of the al...
متن کاملAn evolutionary perspective on psychiatry.
Recent progress in the evolutionary understanding of behavior may greatly assist psychiatry. Although explanations of psychopathology have traditionally emphasized proximate causes of individual differences, consideration of the evolutionary functions of human behavior is essential for psychiatry, just as biology, ethology, and medicine routinely consider both proximate and evolutionary explana...
متن کاملRevisiting the Edge of Chaos: Evolving Cellular Automata to Perform Computations
We present results from an experiment similar to one performed by Packard [24], in which a genetic algorithm is used to evolve cellular automata (CAs) to perform a particular computat iona l t ask . Packard examined the frequency of evolved CA rules as a function of Langton's A par amet er [17]; he interpret ed t he results of his experiment as giving evidence for two hypotheses: (1) CA rules t...
