    Description
    CrossoverOperator<T>
    Implement the CrossoverOperator interface to implement a crossover operator for use in evolutionary algorithms.
    HybridCrossover<T>
    A HybridCrossover enables using multiple crossover operators for the evolutionary algorithm, such that each time the HybridCrossover.cross(T, T) method is called, a randomly chosen crossover operator is applied to the candidate solution.
    HybridMutation<T>
    A HybridMutation enables using multiple mutation operators for the search, such that each time the HybridMutation.mutate(T) method is called, a randomly chosen mutation operator is applied to the candidate solution.
    HybridUndoableMutation<T>
    A HybridMutation enables using multiple mutation operators for the search, such that each time the HybridUndoableMutation.mutate(T) method is called, a randomly chosen mutation operator is applied to the candidate solution.
    InitializeBySimpleMetaheuristic<T extends Copyable<T>>
    This class implements the Initializer interface to provide metaheuristics and other search algorithms with a way to generate initial candidate solutions to a problem, that are themselves generated via a metaheuristic.
    Initializer<T>
    Implement the Initializer interface to provide metaheuristics and other search algorithms with a way to generate initial candidate solutions to a problem.
    IterableMutationOperator<T>
    Implement the IterableMutationOperator interface to define a mutation operator that enables iterating systematically over the neighbors of a candidate solution, like one would do in a hill climber.
    MutationIterator
    Defines an interface for iterating over all of the mutants (i.e., neighbors) of a candidate solution to a problem.
    MutationOperator<T>
    Implement the MutationOperator interface to implement a mutation operator for use in simulated annealing, genetic algorithms, and other evolutionary algorithms, and other metaheuristics, that require a way to generate random neighbors of a candidate solution.
    UndoableMutationOperator<T>
    Implement the UndoableMutationOperator interface to implement a mutation operator for use in simulated annealing, and other metaheuristics, that require a way to generate random neighbors of a candidate solution, and which supports an undo method.
    WeightedHybridCrossover<T>
    A WeightedHybridCrossover enables using multiple crossover operators, such that each time the WeightedHybridCrossover.cross(T, T) method is called, a randomly chosen crossover operator is applied to the candidate solutions.
    WeightedHybridMutation<T>
    A WeightedHybridMutation enables using multiple mutation operators for the search, such that each time the WeightedHybridMutation.mutate(T) method is called, a randomly chosen mutation operator is applied to the candidate solution.
    WeightedHybridUndoableMutation<T>
    A WeightedHybridMutation enables using multiple mutation operators for the search, such that each time the WeightedHybridUndoableMutation.mutate(T) method is called, a randomly chosen mutation operator is applied to the candidate solution.
