Boundary Search Mutation-2 is an algorithm based on searching the convenience region boundaries in constraint processing for NLP optimization (Michalewicz & Schoenauer, 1996). Two genes are randomly selected from the chromosome and one is multiplied by the random value p, while the other gene is multiplied by the q value calculated using p.
This operator is used for value encoded (integer or real number) chromosomes.
Usage
bsearchmut2(y, ...)
Arguments
y
A vector. Chromosome of the offspring
…
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.
