Evolutionary Search with Erosion of Quality Peaks
Andrzej Obuchowicz · Intelligent Information Systems · 2000
The aim of this note is to find effective evolutionary algorithm specialized in landscape saddle crossing. Emphasis is put on the modification of the Evolutionary Search with Soft Selection algorithm which is enriched by a mechanism called the Deterioration of the Objective Function. Formal analysis is used in order to find the best approximation of the local peak which has to be eroded by the trapped population. Simulation results confirm the assumed effectiveness of the method. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
