Choosing Mutation and Crossover Ratios for Genetic Algorithms—A Review with a New Dynamic Approach

TL;DR: New deterministic control approaches for crossover and mutation rates are defined, namely Dynamic Decreasing of high mutation ratio/dynamic increasing of low crossover ratio (DHM/ILC), and Dynamic Increasing of Low Mutation/Dynamic decreasing of High Crossover (ILM/DHC).

CIXL2: a crossover operator for evolutionary algorithms based on population features

TL;DR: A crossover operator for evolutionary algorithms with real values that is based on the statistical theory of population distributions that takes into account the localization and dispersion features of the best individuals of the population with the objective that these features would be inherited by the offspring.

Management training simulation method and system

TL;DR: A management training simulation system and method is implemented on a computer and represents changes in design opportunities of objects in a simulated environment such as, for example, new or changed features in a product made by a particular firm as mentioned in this paper.

Combining radial basis function surrogates and dynamic coordinate search in high-dimensional expensive black-box optimization

TL;DR: Numerical results show that DYCORS algorithms are generally better than EGO, DDS, LMSRBF, MADS with kriging, SQP, an RBF-assisted evolution strategy, and a genetic algorithm and are a promising approach for watershed calibration and for HEB optimization.

An effective krill herd algorithm with migration operator in biogeography-based optimization

TL;DR: A biogeography-based krill herd (BBKH) algorithm is presented for solving complex optimization tasks, and it is shown that this novel BBKH approach performs better than the basic KH and other optimization algorithms.
