Empirical analysis of locality, heritability and heuristic bias in evolutionary algorithms: a case study for the multidimensional knapsack problem.

Abstract excerpt

Our main aim is to provide guidelines and practical help for the design of appropriate representations and operators for evolutionary algorithms (EAs). For this purpose, we propose techniques to obtain a better understanding of various effects in the interplay of the representation and the operators. We study six different representations and associated variation operators in the context of a steady-state...
