Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) are population-based global search methods. They have been successfully applied to many complex optimization problems. However, EAs are frequently incapable of finding a convergence solution in default of local search mechanisms. Memetic Algorithms (MAs) are hybrid EAs that combine genetic operators with local search methods. With global exploration and local explo...

Integer carrier phase ambiguity resolution is the process of resolving unknown cycle ambiguities of doubledifferenced carrier phase data as integers, and it is a prerequisite for rapid and high-precision global navigation satellite system positioning and navigation. Besides integer estimation, integer ambiguity resolution also involves validation of the integer estimates. In this contribution a...
