Abstract:Mutation is a fundamental operation in genetic algorithm (GA) for it has a significant impact on global search ability and convergence rate. Traditional mutation operation of GA changes chromosomes randomly (or blindly), which would waste a lot of computational cost in searching less promising regions or those have been searched frequently. To address these drawbacks, this paper proposes a novel guide mutation. The proposed guide mutation makes use of history search experience to estimate the average fitness a… Show more
