An alternative explanation for the manner in which genetic algorithms operate.
نویسنده
چکیده
The common explanation of the manner in which genetic algorithms (GAs) process individuals in a population of contending solutions relies on the 'building block hypothesis'. This suggests that successively better solutions are generated by combining useful parts of extant solutions. An alternative explanation is presented which focuses on the collective phenomena taking place in populations that undergo recombination. The new explanation is derived from investigations in evolution strategies (ESs). The principles studied are general, and hold for all evolutionary algorithms (EAs), including genetic algorithms (GAs). Further, they appear to be somewhat analogous to some theories and observations on the benefits of sex in biota.

Applying Genetic Algorithm to Dynamic Layout Problem
In today’s economy, manufacturing plants must be able to operate efficiently and respond quickly to changes in the product mix and demand.[1] Layout design has a significant impact on manufacturing efficiency. Initially, it was treated as a static decision but due to improvements in technology, it is possible to rearrange the manufacturing facilities in different scenarios. The Plant layout...
متن کاملApplication of Genetic Algorithm in Kinetic Modeling of Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis
Kinetic modeling is an important issue, whose objective is the accurate determination of the rates of various reactions taking place in a reacting system. This issue is a pivotal element in the process design and development particularly for novel processes which are based on reactions taking place between various types of species. The Fischer Tropsch (FT) reactions have been used as the ki...
متن کاملA Novel Intrusion Detection Systems based on Genetic Algorithms-suggested Features by the Means of Different Permutations of Labels’ Orders
Intrusion detection systems (IDS) by exploiting Machine learning techniques are able to diagnose attack traffics behaviors. Because of relatively large numbers of features in IDS standard benchmark dataset, like KDD CUP 99 and NSL_KDD, features selection methods play an important role. Optimization algorithms like Genetic algorithms (GA) are capable of finding near-optimum combination of the fe...

The solutions used to solve bi-level congestion pricing problems are usually based on heuristic network optimization methods which may not be able to find the best solution for these type of problems. The application of meta-heuristic methods can be seen as viable alternative solutions but so far, it has not received enough attention by researchers in this field. Therefore, the objective of thi...
