Abstract :
In this paper degradation mechanism is discussed to deal with the problem of adaptive population size in evolutionary algorithm. A new evolutionary algorithm based on the degradation mechanism of population size is proposed according to a simplified strategy. The experimental results show that the new algorithm has better performance than an evolutionary algorithm with constant size of population.
