This work addresses optimization problems for researchers in evolutionary computation, but it appears incremental as it modifies an existing genetic algorithm.
The paper introduces Viral Search, a genetic algorithm variant, and evaluates its performance through numerical tests to illustrate its potential and limitations.
The article, after a brief introduction on genetic algorithms and their functioning, presents a kind of genetic algorithm called Viral Search. We present the key concepts, we formally derive the algorithm and we perform numerical tests designed to illustrate the potential and limits.
