Search space boundary extension method in real-coded genetic algorithms

چکیده
In real-coded genetic algorithms, some crossover operators do not work well on functions which have their optimum at the corner of the search space. To cope with this problem, we have proposed a boundary extension methods which allows individuals to be located within a limited space beyond the boundary of the search space. In this paper, we give an analysis of the boundary extension methods from the view point of sampling bias and perform a comparative study on the effect of applying two boundary extension methods, namely the boundary extension by mirroring BEM) and the boundary extension with extended selection (BES). We were able to confirm that to use sampling methods which have smaller sampling bias had good performance on both functions which have their optimum at or near the boundaries of the search space, and functions which have their optimum at the center of the search space. The BES/SD/A (BES by shortest distance selection with aging) had good performance on functions which have their optimum at or near the boundaries of the search space. We also confirmed that applying the BES/SD/A did not cause any performance degradation on functions which have their optimum at the center of the search space.

متن کاملMulti-parent Recombination in Genetic Algorithms with Search Space Boundary Extension by Mirroring
Abstract. In previous work, we have investigated real coded genetic algorithms with several types of multi-parent recombination operators and found evidence that multi-parent recombination with center of mass crossover (CMX) seems a good choice for real coded GAs. But CMX does not work well on functions which have their optimum on the corner of the search space. In this paper, we propose a meth...
متن کاملA theoretical and empirical study on unbiased boundary-extended crossover for real-valued representation
We present a new crossover operator for real-coded genetic algorithms employing a novel methodology to remove the inherent bias of pre-existing crossover operators. This is done by transforming the topology of the hyper-rectangular real space by gluing opposite boundaries and designing a boundary extension method for making the fitness function smooth at the glued boundary. We show the advantag...
متن کاملRobust Evolutionary Algorithms With Toroidal Search Space Conversion For Function Optimization
This paper presents a new method that improves robustness of Real-Coded Evolutionary Algorithms (RCEAs), such as RealCoded Genetic Algorithms and Evolution Strategies, for function optimization. It is reported that most crossover (or recombination) operators for RCEAs has sampling bias that prevents to find the optimum near the boundary of search space. They like to search the center of search ...
متن کاملA Hybrid Algorithm using Firefly, Genetic, and Local Search Algorithms
In this paper, a hybrid multi-objective algorithm consisting of features of genetic and firefly algorithms is presented. The algorithm starts with a set of fireflies (particles) that are randomly distributed in the solution space; these particles converge to the optimal solution of the problem during the evolutionary stages. Then, a local search plan is presented and implemented for searching s...
