Improvement of the performance of QEA with novel structures

In order to improve the performance of the Quantum Evolutionary Algorithms (QEA), this paper proposes several novel structures to maintain the diversity of the population. The proposed structures forQEA are cellular, ring, star, grid, ladder and other structures. This paper compares the effects of thedifferent structures on the performance of the algorithm and diversity of the population. The proposed structures are compared on Knapsack problem, Trap problem and 14 numerical benchmark functions.
