3. SBX
Simulated Binary Crossover
• Simulated Binary Crossover (SBX) was proposed in
1995 by Deb and Agrawal.
• SBX was designed with respect to the one-point
crossover properties in binary-coded GA.
– Average Property:
The average of the decoded parameter values is the same
before and after the crossover operation.
– Spread Factor Property:
The probability of occurrence of spread factor β ≈ 1 is more
likely than any other β value.

4. Important Property of One-Point Crossover
Spread factor:
Spread factor β is defined as the ratio of the spread of
offspring points to that of the parent points:
c1 −c2
β= | p1 −p2 |
c1 c2
- Contracting Crossover β<1 p1 p2
The offspring points are enclosed by the parent points.
- Expanding Crossover β>1 c1 c2
The offspring points enclose by the parent points. p1 p2
- Stationary Crossover β=1 c1 c2
The offspring points are the same as parent points p1 p2

5. Spread Factor (β) in SBX
• The probability distribution of β in SBX should be similar (e.g.
same shape) to the probability distribution of β in Binary-coded
crossover.
c(β) = 0.5(nc + 1)β nc , β ≤ 1
• The probability distribution
function is defined as: c(β) = 0.5(nc + 1) β n1+2 , β > 1

8. SBX Summary
• Simulated Binary Crossover (SBX) is a real-parameter
combination operator which is commonly used in
evolutionary algorithms (EA) to optimization problems.
– SBX operator uses two parents and creates two offspring.
– SBX operator uses a parameter called the distribution index
(nc) which is kept fixed (i.e., 2 or 5) throughout a simulation
run.
• If nc is large the offspring solutions are close to the parent solutions
• If nc is small the offspring solutions are away from the parent solutions
– The distribution index (nc) has a direct effect in controlling the
spread of offspring solutions.
November 7, 08 DSSG Group Meeting 8/31
9. Research Issues
• Finding the distribution index (nc) to an appropriate value
is an important task.
– The distribution index (nc) has effect in
1) Convergence speed
if nc is very high the offspring solutions are very close to the parent solutions the
convergence speed is very low.
2) Local/Global optimum solutions.
Past studies of SBX crossover GA found that it cannot work well in
complicated problems (e.g., Restrigin’s function)
November 7, 08 DSSG Group Meeting 9/31
10. Self-Adaptive SBX
• This paper proposed a procedure for updating the
distribution index (nc) adaptively to solve optimization
problems.
– The distribution index (nc) is updated every generation.
– How the distribution index of the next generation (nc) is
updated (increased or decreased) depends on how the
offspring outperform (has better fitness value) than its two
parents.
• The next slides will show the process to make an
equation to update the distribution index.

• If c2 is better than both parent solutions,
– the authors assume that the region in which the child
solutions is created is better than the region in which
the parents solutions are.

18. Distribution Index (nc) Update
When c is better than p1 and p2 then the distribution index for the
next generation is calculated as (6). The distribution index will be
decreased in order to create an offspring (c’) further away from its
parent(p2) than the offspring (c) in the previous generation.

When c is worse than p1 and p2 then the distribution index for the
next generation is calculated as (7). The distribution index will be
increased in order to create an offspring (c’) closer to its
parent(p2) than the offspring (c) in the previous generation.
