摘要: Random Boolean Satisfiability function generators have recently been proposed as tools for studying genetic algorithm behavior. Yet MAXSAT problems exhibit extremely limited epistasis. Furthermore, all nonzero Walsh coefficients can be computed exactly in polynomial time using only the clause information. This means low order schema averages quickly and very large problems. But unless P=NP, this information cannot reliably lead to global optimum, thus nontrivial must deceptive.
