, 2011 We introduce the Spacing Memetic Algorithm (SMA), a formal evolutionary model devoted to a systematic control of spacing (distances) among individuals. SMA uses search space distance information to decide what individuals are acceptable in the population,

Memetic Algorithms and Their Applications in Computer Science
, 2018 The term “memetic algorithm” was introduced by Moscato is an extension of the traditional genetic algorithm. It uses a local search technique to reduce the likelihood of the premature convergence.
