Dear all,
I have a question about heuristics that I hope someone could help me
with.
Imagine a general heuristic problem. In general, as one increases the
number of variables that need to be optimized, the number of local
optima in this optimization surface increases. Although this seems to
make sense intuitively, I'm looking for papers/books/people addressing
this issue. In particular, I'd like to know if this increase in the
number of local optima is a general phenomenon in optimization
problems.
Stuart Kauffman's work on NK fitness landscapes might be relevant here.
