If unsure, shuffle
Sumit Mishra, Maxim Buzdalov · 2020
Despite significant advantages in theory of evolutionary computation, many papers related to evolutionary algorithms still lack proper analysis and limit themselves by rather vague reflections on why making a certain design choice improves the performance. While this seems to be unavoidable when talking about the behavior of an evolutionary algorithm on a practical optimization problem, doing the same for computational complexities of parts of evolutionary algorithms is harmful and should be avoided.
