This paper proposes a new method based on the cultural algorithm to solve graph coloring problem (GCP). Graph coloring problem involves finding the minimum number of colors for coloring the graph vertices such that adjacent vertices have distinct colors. In this paper various components of cultural algorithm have been implemented to solve GCP with a self adaptive behavior in an efficient manner...

OBJECTIVES Cultural variability (CV) is introduced as an overlooked dimension of cultural identity development pertaining to emphasizing and de-emphasizing the influence of a single cultural identity (i.e., cultural influence [CI]) on daily interactions and behaviors. The Cultural IDentity Influence Measure (CIDIM) is introduced as a novel measure of CI and CV, and hypothesis-driven validation ...

In recent years, far from arguing that evolutionary approaches to our own species permit us to describe the fundamental character of human nature, a prominent group of cultural evolutionary theorists has instead argued that the very idea of 'human nature' is one we should reject. It makes no sense, they argue, to speak of human nature in opposition to human culture. The very same sceptical argu...

Electronic circuit optimization design is important research field in engineering applications. Circuit scale and the time of evaluate the circuit are the challenge problems for circuit optimization design algorithm and the traditional optimization algorithms cannot solve the two problems very well. Cultural Algorithms are a class of computational models derived from observing the cultural evol...
