The book is dedicated to the use of genetic algorithms in theoretical economic research. Genetic algorithms offer the chance of overcoming the limitations traditional mathematical tractability puts on economic research and thus open new horzions for economic theory. The book reveals close...

When using gentic and evolutionary algorithms (GEAs) for the optimal communication spanning problem, the design of a suitable tree network encoding is crucial for finding good solutions. The link and node biased (LNB) encoding represents the structure of a tree network using a weighted vector...
