Evolutionary algorithms with mutations based on (alfa) Stable and directional distributions
Andrzej Obuchowicz · Prace Naukowe Politechniki Warszawskiej. Elektronika · 2007
In this paper, a concept of directional mutations for phenotypic evolutionary algorithms is presented. The proposed approach allows, in a very convenient way, to adapt the probability measure underlying the mutation operator during evolutionary process. Simulated experiments confirms the thesis that proposed mutation improves the effectiveness of evolutionary algorithms in the case of the local as well as global optimization problems.
