摘要
The search behavior of an evolutionary algorithm depends on the interactions between the encoding that represents candidate solutions to the target problem and the operators that act on that encoding. In this paper, we focus on analyzing some properties such as locality, heritability, population diversity and searching behavior of various decoder-based evolutionary algorithm (EA) frameworks using different encodings, decoders and genetic operators for spanning tree based optimization problems. Although debate still continues on how and why EAs work well, many researchers have observed that EAs perform well when its encoding and operators exhibit good locality, heritability and diversity properties.
