by Goldberg, D. E., Sastry, K., and Llorà X. (2007). Complexity, 12(3), 27—29. Link to the PDF. Abstract: The push for better understanding and design of complex systems requires the solution of challenging optimization problems with large numbers of decision variables. This note presents principled results demonstrating the scalable solution of a difficult test function on instances over a billion variables using a parallel implementation of a genetic algorithm (GA). The problem addressed is a noisy, blind problem over a vector of binary decision variables....
