Abstract: This paper investigates the effects of modifying the Adaptive Dissortative Mating Genetic Algorithm (ADMGA) replacement strategy on the performance of the algorithm in dynamic problems. ADMGA is a variation of the standard GA with a mating restriction based on the genotypic similarity of the individuals. Dissimilar individuals mate more often than expected by chance and, as a result, genetic diversity throughout the run is maintained at a higher level. ADMGA was previously tested in dynamic optimization problems with promising results: the algorithm shows to outperform standard GAs and state-of-the-art approaches on several problems and dynamics. However, the performance of the algorithm degrades when the frequency of changes increases. Due to the premises under which ADMGA was tested, it has been argued that the replacement strategy that emerges from the algorithm’s dissortative mating strategy may be harming the performance in such situations. This study proposes alternative replac ement schemes with the objective of improving ADMGA’s performance on fast changing environments (without damaging the performance on slower ones). The strategies maintain the simplicity of the algorithm, i.e., the parameter set is not increased. The replacement schemes were tested in dynamic environments based on stationary functions with different characteristics, showing to improve standard ADMGA’s performance in fast dynamic problems.
