چکیده

Normally in Genetic Algorithms, mutation is considered a background operator and the genes are considered to be the binary bits of the chromosome. In this paper we take a different viewpoint. We treat the variables of numerical functions as the genes, and consider the mutation of these genes. We also investigate the role of mutation as an independent reproduction operator. Our results show the value of this view, and explain some previous comparisons with Evolutionary Strategies.

بهینه سازی قابهای فولادی با استفاده از الگوریتم وراثتی اصلاح شده هوشمند

One of the major purposes of optimization in civil engineering is to perform a suitable design for the structure. This goal has to fulfill technical criteria and contain the minimum economical costs. Building frames are of the most customary civil engineering structures. Therefore, optimization of these types of structures could be of a great concern from the economical viewpoints. One of the c...

Solving the Ride-Sharing Problem with Non-Homogeneous Vehicles by Using an Improved Genetic Algorithm with Innovative Mutation Operators and Local Search Methods

An increase in the number of vehicles in cities leads to several problems, including air pollution, noise pollution, and congestion. To overcome these problems, we need to use new urban management methods, such as using intelligent transportation systems like ride-sharing systems. The purpose of this study is to create and implement an improved genetic algorithms model for ride-sharing with non...

New Ant Colony Algorithm Method based on Mutation for FPGA Placement Problem

Many real world problems can be modelled as an optimization problem. Evolutionary algorithms are used to solve these problems. Ant colony algorithm is a class of evolutionary algorithms that have been inspired of some specific ants looking for food in the nature. These ants leave trail pheromone on the ground to mark good ways that can be followed by other members of the group. Ant colony optim...

The Introduction of a Heuristic Mutation Operator to Strengthen the Discovery Component of XCS

The extended classifier systems (XCS) by producing a set of rules is (classifier) trying to solve learning problems as online. XCS is a rather complex combination of genetic algorithm and reinforcement learning that using genetic algorithm tries to discover the encouraging rules and value them by reinforcement learning. Among the important factors in the performance of XCS is the possibility to...

A Novel Experimental Analysis of the Minimum Cost Flow Problem

In the GA approach the parameters that influence its performance include population size, crossover rate and mutation rate. Genetic algorithms are suitable for traversing large search spaces since they can do this relatively fast and because the mutation operator diverts the method away from local optima, which will tend to become more common as the search space increases in size. GA’s are base...
