Abstract

This paper describe a new selection method, named SFSwT (Scale-Free Selection method with Tournament mechanism) which is based on a scale-free network study. A scale-free selection model was chosen in order to generate a scale-free structure. The proposed model reduces computational complexity and improves computational performance compared with a previous version of the model. Experimental results with various benchmark problems show that performance of the SFSwT is higher than with other selection methods. In various fields, scale-free structures are closely related to evolutionary computation. Further, it was found through the experiments that the distribution of node connectivity could be used as an index of search efficiency.
