Abstract

Evolutionary algorithms represent a powerful tool for a wide set of problems, based on biological principles. The main goal of this article is to underline the principle of genetic acquisitions. To do this, we will use mutations with respect to the gradient of an objective function.

Keywords: optimization; evolutionary algorithms; gradient
