We present an idea that ontogeny, i.e. development of an organism from the fertilized egg to its mature form, is an evolutionary process based on reproduction, variation and selection of organism's constituent parts. We applied this concept to construct a novel evolutionary approach to the travelling salesman problem.
Abstract-Selective breeding is considered as a communication channel, in a novel way. The Shannon informational capacity of this channel is an upper limit on the amount of information that can be put into the genome by selection: this is a meaningful upper limit to the adaptive complexity of evolved organisms. We calculate the maximum adaptive complexity achievable for a given mutation rate for simple...
This paper describes genetic and hybrid approaches for multiobjective optimization using a numerical measure called fuzzy dominance. Fuzzy dominance is used when implementing tournament selection within the genetic algorithm (GA). In the hybrid version, it is also used to carry out a Nelder-Mead simplex-based local search. The proposed GA is shown to perform better than NSGA-II and SPEA-2 on standard...
