This paper presents an efficient generation alternation model for real-coded genetic algorithm called rc-CGA. The most important characteristic of the proposed rcCGA model is the implicit self-adaptive feature in its crossover and mutation mechanism. By applying two crossover operators (BLX-α and UNDX crossover) in conjunction with Non-Uniform mutation to rc-CGA, respectively, we define two new...

When Genetic Algorithms are employed in multimodal function optimization, identifying multiple peaks and maintaining subpopulations of the search space are two central themes. In this paper, we use an immune system model to explore the role of crossover in GAs with respect to these two issues. The experimental results reported here will shed more light into how crossover affects the GA’s search...

We address the quantum-classical correspondence for chaotic systems with a crossover between symmetry classes. We consider the energy level statistics of a classically chaotic system in a weak magnetic field. The generating function of spectral correlations is calculated by using the semiclassical periodic-orbit theory. An explicit calculation up to the second order, including the non-oscillato...

We study the crossover between classical and nonclassical critical behaviors. The critical crossover limit is driven by the Ginzburg number G. The corresponding scaling functions are universal with respect to any possible microscopic mechanism which can vary G, such as changing the range or the strength of the interactions. The critical crossover describes the unique flow from the unstable Gaus...

We introduce a fiber bundle model where the interaction among fibers is modeled by an adjustable stress-transfer function that can interpolate between the two limiting cases of load redistribution, i.e., the global and the local load sharing schemes. By varying the range of interaction, several features of the model are numerically studied and a crossover from mean-field to short-range behavior...

The analytical theory of one dimensional, dispersion free miscible displacement of oil by injection gas with nc component has shown that: the MMP is the lowest pressure at which any one of the initial oil, injection gas or crossover key tie lines becomes critical, which means that its length approaches to zero. In this paper, we propose a method for a solving multi component syst...

Meiosis, the mechanism of creating haploid gametes, is a complex cellular process observed across sexually reproducing organisms. Fundamental to meiosis is the process of homologous recombination, whereby DNA double-strand breaks are introduced into the genome and are subsequently repaired to generate either noncrossovers or crossovers. Although homologous recombination is essential for chromos...

Due to experimental evidence it is incontestable that crossover is essential for some fitness functions. However, theoretical results without assumptions are difficult. So-called real royal road functions are known where crossover is proved to be essential, i. e., mutation-based algorithms have an exponential expected runtime while the expected runtime of a genetic algorithm is polynomially bou...

Bioequivalence or interaction trials are commonly studied in crossover design and can be analysed by nonlinear mixed effects models as an alternative to noncompartmental approach. We propose an extension of the population Fisher information matrix in nonlinear mixed effects models to design crossover pharmacokinetic trials, using a linearisation of the model around the random effect expectation...

The synaptonemal complex (SC) is an ultrastructurally conserved proteinaceous structure that holds homologous chromosomes together and is required for the stabilization of pairing interactions and the completion of crossover (CO) formation between homologs during meiosis I. Here, we identify a novel role for a central region component of the SC, SYP-4, in negatively regulating formation of reco...
