Abstract excerpt

An annealing mutation operator in the genetic algorithms (GA) for RNA folding on a MasPar MP-2 has been designed. The mutation probability descends along a hyperbola with respect to the size of the secondary structure, hence the total number of mutations at each generation drops linearly. Especia...
