Linkage-Based Distance Metric in the Search Space of Genetic Algorithms

We propose a new distance metric, based on the linkage of genes, in the search space of genetic algorithms. This second-order distance measure is derived from the gene interaction graph and first-order distance, which is a natural distance in chromosomal spaces. We show that the proposed measure for...
