Information flow and Laplacian dynamics on local optima networks (2024)
Conference Proceeding
Richter, H., & Thomson, S. L. (in press). Information flow and Laplacian dynamics on local optima networks.

We propose a new way of looking at local optima networks (LONs). LONs represent fitness landscapes; the nodes are local optima, and the edges are search transitions between them. Many metrics computed on LONs have been proposed and shown to be linked... Read More about Information flow and Laplacian dynamics on local optima networks.
