  • The networked evolutionary algorithm : a network science perspective
    Du, Wenbo ...
    The evolutionary algorithm is one of the most popular and effective methods to solve complex non-convex optimization problems in different areas of research. In this paper, we systematically explore ... the evolutionary algorithm as a networked interaction system, where nodes represent information process units and connections denote information transmission links. Within this networked evolutionary algorithm framework, we analyze the effects of structure and information fusion strategies, and further implement it in three typical evolutionary algorithms, namely in the genetic algorithm, the particle swarm op- timization algorithm, and in the differential evolution algorithm. Our results demonstrate that the networked evolutionary algorithm framework can significantly improve the per- formance of these evolutionary algorithms. Our work bridges two traditionally separate areas, evolutionary algorithms and network science, in the hope that it promotes the development of both.
