The paper introduces a new mutation operator for genetic algorithms and other similar metaheuristics. This mutation operator is based on the TOPSIS algorithm and is informed by Albert Bandura’s socio-cognitive theory. It incorporates repulsion and attraction mechanisms into gene modifications during mutation, thus making the process dependent on other members of the population. The experimental results on selected popular hard benchmarks are also discussed.

摘要

The paper introduces a new mutation operator for genetic algorithms and other similar metaheuristics. This mutation operator is based on the TOPSIS algorithm and is informed by Albert Bandura’s socio-cognitive theory. It incorporates repulsion and attraction mechanisms into gene modifications during mutation, thus making the process dependent on other members of the population. The experimental results on selected popular hard benchmarks are also discussed.
