Deconstructing the big valley search space hypothesis

G Ochoa, N Veerapen - … : 16th European Conference, EvoCOP 2016, Porto …, 2016 - Springer
The big valley hypothesis suggests that, in combinatorial optimisation, local optima of good
quality are clustered and surround the global optimum. We show here that the idea of a …
