Abstract

In this paper, we discuss about the solution search effectiveness, the solution search behaviors and the maintenance of building blocks in GA using symbiotic evolutionary viruses. The proposed GA is based on both the building block hypothesis and the virus theory of evolution. The proposed GA has the virus infecton. The virus infection directly deals with schemes. The proposed GA aims to control the destruction of building blocks by discovery, maintenance, and propagation of building blocks based on the virus infection. We will expect that a search efficiency of GA will be increased by them.
