There are many optimization heuristics which involves mutation operator. Reducing them to binary optimization allows to study properties of binary mutation operator. Modern heuristics yield from Lévy flights behavior, which is a bridge between local search and random shooting in binary space. The paper is oriented to statistical analysis of binary mutation with Lévy flight inside and Quantum Tunneling heuristics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
