摘要: This chapter presents a real-coded genetic algorithm using the Unimodal Normal Distribution Crossover (UNDX) that can efficiently optimize functions with epistasis among parameters. Most conventional crossover operators for function optimization have been reported to serious problem in their performance deteriorates considerably when they are applied We believe reason poor of is cannot keep distribution individuals unchanged process repetitive operations on In considering above problem, we introduce three guidelines, 'Preservation Statistics', 'Diversity Offspring', and 'Enhancement Robustness', designing show good even epistatic functions. UNDX meets guidelines very well by theoretical analysis shows better than some applying them benchmark including multimodal ones. also discuss improvements under relation between algorithms evolution strategies (ESs) correlated mutation.
