Abstract

In this paper, an empirical analysis is done on the information flux network (IFN) statistical properties of genetic algorithms (GA) and the results suggest that the node degree distribution of IFN is scale-free when there is at least some selection pressure, and it has two branches as node degree is small. Increasing crossover, decreasing the mutation rate or decreasing the selective pressure will increase the average node degree, thus leading to the decrease of scaling exponent. These studies will be helpful in understanding the combination and distribution of excellent gene segments of the population in GA evolving, and will be useful in devising an efficient GA.
