    Fixed-Parameter Tractability of Crossover: Steady-State GAs on the Closest String Problem

    We investigate the effect of crossover in the context of parameterized complexity on a well-known fixed-parameter tractable combinatorial optimization problem known as the closest string problem. We prove that a ...

    Time Complexity Analysis of Evolutionary Algorithms on Random Satisfiable k-CNF Formulas

    We contribute to the theoretical understanding of randomized search heuristics by investigating their optimization behavior on satisfiable random k-satisfiability instances both in the planted solution model and ...
