The algorithms are explained within a common framework, thereby clarifying the similarities and differences of these methods. The author also presents new results regarding the role of mutation and selection in genetic algorithms and uses a meta-evolutionary approach to confirm some of the theoretical results.Oxford scholarship online.Genetic algorithmsEvolution (Biology)Mathematical modelsEvolutionary programming (Computer science)Electronic books.Genetic algorithms.Evolution (Biology)Mathematical models.Evolutionary programming (Computer science)005.1006.3Bäck Thomas1963-351375MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450600303321Evolutionary algorithms in theory and practice374220UNINA
