Basic Algorithms and Operators
Thomas Bäck, David B. Fogel, Zbigniew Michalewicz · Medical Entomology and Zoology · 1999
From the Publisher: Evolutionary Computation 1, Basic Algorithms and Operators covers all the paradigms of evolutionary computation in detail, giving an overview of the rationale evolutionary computation and of its biological background. This volume also offers an in-depth presentation of basic elements of evolutionary computation models according to the types of representations used for typical problem classes (for example, binary, real-valued, permutations, finite-state-machines, parse trees). Choosing this classification based on representation, the search operators mutation and recombination (and others) are straightforwardly grouped according to the semantics of the data they manipulate.
