Optimizing Genetic Algorithms Using the Binomial Distribution

Vincent A. Cicirello

Evolutionary algorithms rely very heavily on randomized behavior. Execution speed, therefore, depends strongly on how we implement randomness, such as our choice of pseudorandom nu…

Open Source Evolutionary Computation with Chips-n-Salsa

Vincent A. Cicirello

When it was first introduced, the Chips-n-Salsa Java library provided stochastic local search and related algorithms, with a focus on self-adaptation and parallel execution. For th…

A Survey and Analysis of Evolutionary Operators for Permutations

Vincent A. Cicirello

There are many combinatorial optimization problems whose solutions are best represented by permutations. The classic traveling salesperson seeks an optimal ordering over a set of c…

On Fitness Landscape Analysis of Permutation Problems: From Distance Metrics to Mutation Operator Selection

Vincent A. Cicirello

In this paper, we explore the theory and expand upon the practice of fitness landscape analysis for optimization problems over the space of permutations. Many of the computational…

Cycle Mutation: Evolving Permutations via Cycle Induction

Vincent A. Cicirello

Evolutionary algorithms solve problems by simulating the evolution of a population of candidate solutions. We focus on evolving permutations for ordering problems like the travelin…

Variable Annealing Length and Parallelism in Simulated Annealing

Vincent A. Cicirello

In this paper, we propose: (a) a restart schedule for an adaptive simulated annealer, and (b) parallel simulated annealing, with an adaptive and parameter-free annealing schedule.…
