Memetic algorithms with variable-depth search to overcome local optima [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Variable-depth search (VDS) is well-known as Lin-Kernighan strategy for the TSP and Kernighan-Lin for graph partitioning. The basic idea is to make a sequence of local moves and to freeze all moved combinatorial objects to prevent the search from looping.

A memetic approach to vehicle routing problem with dynamic requests

open access: yes, 2016
The paper presents an effective algorithm for solving Vehicle Routing Problem with Dynamic Requests based on memetic algorithms. The proposed method is applied to a widely-used set of 21 benchmark problems yielding 14 new best-know results when using the

The capacitated dispersion problem: an optimization model and a memetic algorithm

open access: yes
The challenge of maximizing the diversity of a collection of points arises in a variety of settings, and the growing interest of dealing with diversity resulted in an effort to study these problems in the last few years.

A Memetic Algorithm Guided by Quicksort for the Error-Correcting Graph Isomorphism Problem

open access: yes, 2002
Sorting algorithms define paths in the search space of n! permutations based on the information provided by a comparison predicate. We guide a Memetic Algorithm with a new mutation operator.

Advances in Hybrid Evolutionary Computation for Continuous Optimization

open access: yes, 2011
Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) are a set of optimization techniques that have become highly popular in recent decades. One of the main reasons for this success is that they provide a general purpose mechanism for solving a wide range of problems.

A Memetic Island Model for Discrete Tomography Reconstruction

open access: yes, 2011
Soft computing is a term indicating a coalition of methodologies, and its basic dogma is that, in general, better results can be obtained through the use of constituent methodologies in combination, rather than in a stand alone mode.

Multi-agent collaborative search : an agent-based memetic multi-objective optimization algorithm applied to space trajectory design

open access: yes, 2011
This article presents an algorithm for multi-objective optimization that blends together a number of heuristics. A population of agents combines heuristics that aim at exploring the search space both globally and in a neighbourhood of each agent.
