Abstract

Intensification and diversification are two driving forces in genetic algorithms and are frequently the subject of research. While it seemed for decades that a genetic operator can be classified as either the one or the other, it has been shown in the last few years that this assumption is an oversimplified view and most operators exhibit both, diversification and intensification, to some degree. Most papers in this field focus on a certain operator or algorithm configuration as theoretical and generalizable foundations are hard to obtain. In this paper we therefore use a wide range of different configurations and behavior measurements to study the intensification and diversification behavior of genetic algorithms and their operators.
