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

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.
