This book provides a characterization of the roles that recombination and mutation play in evolutionary algorithms. The focus allows the book to bridge multiple communities, including evolutionary biologists and population geneticists.. It integrates important prior work and introduces new theoretical techniques for studying evolutionary algorithms. Consequences of the theory are explored and a novel method for comparing search and optimization algorithms is introduced. Despite decades of work in evolutionary algorithms, there remains an uncertainty as to the relative benefits and detriments of using recombination or mutation

A Customer said Interesting. Very academic. This book is based on the author's PhD dissertation and it shows (you can download the dissertation from the web). There is page after page of mind numbing step-by-step derivations that do not add too much to the discussion. I would have enjoyed the book more if Spears had shortened some of his derivations. I found the results interesting. Although some of the conclusions seem fairly obvious after reading the book, I think it is important that someone took the time t. "Essential Reading on Evolutionary Algorithms" according to Dr. Diana F. Gordon. This book is an essential resource for anyone studying the theoretical underpinnings of evolutionary algorithms (EAs). The book very carefully analyzes the effects of two fundamental evolutionary operators, recombination and mutation, and their interaction with evolutionary selection. This analysis significantly enhanced my understanding of EAs because of the fundamental role that these operators play. The book begins with the more traditional static analysis approac
