Abstract (EN)

Linear Linkage Encoding (LLE) is a recently proposed representation scheme forevolutionary algorithms (EA). This representation has been previously used to solve dataclustering problem. It is also suitable for other grouping problems. In this thesis, this newencoding scheme is investigated on two other grouping problems; graph coloring and binpacking. The main focus of this work is to investigate genetic operators suitable for LLE.Performance enhancing crossover operators for graph coloring problem based on LLE areproposed and compared to the existing ones. Traditional crossover operators with additionalplacement heuristics are tested on bin packing problem. Initial results show that LinearLinkage Encoding is a viable candidate for grouping problems whenever appropriate geneticoperators are chosen.
