<Para ID="Par1">We give sufficient conditions which the mutation rate must satisfy for the convergence of the genetic algorithm when that rate is allowed to change throughout iterations. The empirical performance of the algorithm with regards to changes in the mutation parameter is explored via test functions,...</para>

Procedures for continuously monitoring binary attribute data processes are of utmost relevance for fields like electrical engineering, chemical production, software quality engineering, healthcare monitoring, and many more. In this article, new approaches are proposed, where kth order runs in a...
