Abstract
Genetic algorithms (GA) mostly commonly use three main
operators: selection, crossover and mutation, although many
others have been proposed in the literature. This article in-
troduces a new operator, k-bit-swap, which swaps bits be-
tween two strings without preserving the location of those
bits, changing their order of bits in the string. It can be
considered as a form of crossover. We investigate the e ects
of this operator and demonstrate that its use improves the
speed and performance on several well-known problems.
