  Article:   GROUP SELECTION IN EVOLUTIONARY ALGORITHMS.

Authors:  . 		 
       
         
  Abstract:   This paper proposes a new approach for selection in evolutionary algorithms. In this context, the fitness of a group is more important than the fitness of the individual. Each group evolves for a certain number of generations inisolation and only then is their fitness compared. The group fitness is obtained by averaging the fitness of a certain percentage of its individuals. This lesser number of evaluations is important, because the quality of such algorithms is compared after a fixed number of such fitness evaluations. This new algorithm was applied for obtaining the global minimum of functions defined in large dimensions.
