| Abstract | Use of the Building Block Hypothesis to illuminate GA search behavior, as pursued by J. H. Holland and D. E. Goldberg, invites additional investigation. This paper re-examines the space actually searched by a GA, in light of the Building Block Hypothesis, GA sampling and population size, in an effort to develop more quantitative measures of GA di±culty for problems where building block sizes can be estimated. A Practical Search Index (PSI) is defined, related to the size of the space actively searched by the GA, in terms of sizes and numbers of building blocks. When BBs are hierarchical, the PSI can be used at various stages of BB assembly. Difficulty depends strongly on the sizes of the largest building blocks, rather than on the size of the entire search space, for GAs dominated by crossover. Premature convergence prevails when population size is not adequate to allow sampling and assembly of building blocks. Appropriate sizing depends on balancing the BB sampling and mixing costs. A set of simple GA experiments on classical test functions with clear building block structures (One-Max, RR1, RR2, RRJH, HIFF, etc.) at various population sizes, illustrates the relationship between the PSI, population size, and efficiency of search. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
