Title
Spectral techniques for graph bisection in genetic algorithms
Abstract
Various applications of spectral techniques for enhancing graph bisection in genetic algorithms are investigated. Several enhancements to a genetic algorithm for graph bisection are introduced based on spectral decompositions of adjacency matrices of graphs and subpopulation matrices. First, the spectral decompositions give initial populations for the genetic algorithm to start with. Next, spectral techniques are used to engineer new individuals and reorder the schema to strategically group certain sets of vertices together on the chromosome. The operators and techniques are found to be beneficial when added to a plain genetic algorithm and when used in conjunction with other local optimization techniques for graph bisection. In addition, several world record minimum bisections have been obtained from the methods described in this study.
