Multiple world genetic algorithm to analyze individually advantageous behaviors in complex networks

We propose a novel method for evolutionary network analysis that uses the genetic algorithm (GA), called the multiple world genetic algorithm, to coevolve appropriate individual behaviors of many agents on complex networks without sacrificing diversity. We conducted the experiments using simulated games of social networking services to evaluate the proposed method. The results indicate that it could effectively evolve the diverse strategy for each agent and the resulting fitness values were almost always larger than those derived through evolution using the conventional evolutionary network analysis using the GA.
