Abstract

This paper employs a Markov model to study the relative performance of binary and Gray coding in the univariate marginal distribution algorithm, genetic algorithm, and stochastic hillclimbing. The results indicate that while there is little difference between the two for all possible functions, Gray coding does not necessarily improve performance for functions which have fewer local optima in the Gray representation than in binary.
