Boundary Search Mutation-1 is an algorithm based on probing the boundaries of the convenience region in constraint processing for NLP optimization (Michalewicz & Schoenauer, 1996). Two genes are randomly selected from the chromosome and one of them is multiplied by a random factor at the q value, while the other gene is multiplied by \(1/q\).
This operator is used for value encoded (integer or real number) chromosomes.
Usage
bsearchmut1(y, mutq, ...)
Arguments
y
A vector. Chromosome of the offspring
mutq
A number. Value of q
…
Further arguments passed to or from other methods.
Value
mutant
A vector. Chromosome of the offspring
mutgen
A vector. The numbers of the mutated genes.
