Potholes on the Royal Road
Theodore C. Belding
It is still unclear how an evolutionary algorithm (EA) searches a fitness landscape, and on what fitness landscapes a particular EA will do well. The validity of the building-block…
Numerical Replication of Computer Simulations: Some Pitfalls and How To Avoid Them
Theodore C. Belding
A computer simulation, such as a genetic algorithm, that uses IEEE standard floating-point arithmetic may not produce exactly the same results in two different runs, even if it is…
The Distributed Genetic Algorithm Revisited
Theodore C. Belding
This paper extends previous work done by Tanese on the distributed genetic algorithm (DGA). Tanese found that the DGA outperformed the canonical serial genetic algorithm (CGA) on a…
