A binary alphabet has been chosen to represent the presence or absence of nodes in a subgraph. The approach is to start with an initial population having small sized graphs, and then to effectively generate larger ones using a new crossover mechanism called 'partial copy crossover'. The splitting of the mutation operator into two operators, namely 'addition' and 'deletion', has been found to be effective for both increasing the diversity of the population and controlling the number of relevant subgraphs, i.e. those with the potentiality to become cliques. Experimental results on graphs with between 5 and 50 nodes and varying edge densities establish the efficacy and robustness of the approach.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":393865,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the First IEEE Conference on Evolutionary Computation.

Great care is taken to make sure that the same SAT instances and the same criteria are used in the comparison. Results indicate that MASK greatly outperforms GAs in the sense that MASK manages to deal with harder SAT instances at a lower cost.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":393865,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the First IEEE Conference on Evolutionary Computation.

In balanced flow, each node's total input and total output are equal. This paper compares one random and two genetic approaches to finding such solutions. The representation of candidate solutions guarantees balanced flow in all products of mutation and crossover. The method of solution uses a stochastic search (random or genetic) to insure that no link is over capacity, no node has excess output, and each allocation is an integer. Then it achieves balance through a fast deterministic search to remove excess input. This method solved a sample problem in about one-ninth as many generations as a genetic search using penalty functions.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":393865,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the First IEEE Conference on Evolutionary Computation.

The halftoning technique is required for representing gray-tone images on bilevel displays or printers. Using the halftoning techniques, gray-tone images are transformed into binary representations. In general, visually pleasing halftone images must have high spatial and gray-level resolution. In this study, the halftoning algorithm is regarded as a optimization problem that is to search for the visually pleasing placement of black pixel in the halftoning image. For solving the problem, a Simple GA (SGA) and a Single Populated GA (SPGA) are applied to the halftoning algorithm.

We compare one operator GAs, using only selection, and two operators GAs by selection and crossover with respect to the expected quality and speed of the convergence. First, we analyse the case of two individuals, that is the minimum population size, by a Markov chain. We show the boundary in the fitness assignment cube where crossover improves the absorption probability to the optimum. We also show that crossover always speeds up convergence. Second, we analyse the larger population case by numerically solving the difference equations. We show a boundary where the crossover speeds up convergence. Normal medium sized GAs can be positioned between these two extremes.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":393865,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the First IEEE Conference on Evolutionary Computation.
