What is a memetic algorithm?
Updated May 16, 2026
Short answer
A memetic algorithm combines GA with local search optimization.
Deep explanation
Memetic algorithms enhance GA by applying local refinement (hill climbing or gradient-based search) to individuals. This hybrid approach improves convergence speed and solution quality.
