Symmetry Breaking for Voting Mechanisms
Recently, Rowe and Aishwaryaprajna [FOGA 2019] introduced a simple majority vote technique that efficiently solves Jump with large gaps, OneMax with large noise, and any monotone function with a polynomial-size i...

Approximation Speed-Up by Quadratization on LeadingOnes
We investigate the quadratization of LeadingOnes in the context of the landscape for local search. We prove that a standard quadratization (i.e., its expression as a degree-2 multilinear polynomial) of LeadingOne...

Parameterized Complexity Analysis of Randomized Search Heuristics
This chapter compiles a number of results that apply the theory of parameterized algorithmics to the running-time analysis of randomized search heuristics such as evolutionary algorithms. The parameterized app...

Genetic Algorithms — A Survey of Models and Methods
This chapter first reviews the simple genetic algorithm. Mathematical models of the genetic algorithm are also reviewed, including the schema theorem, exact infinite population models, and exact Markov models ...
