Reference Documentation

In this section we want to provide reference documentation on implemented algorithms, problems, and operators. HeuristicLab aims to provide references directly in the application, for instance, it is noted that a certain crossover was described in a certain paper. We try to find and list the original publication, books, or publications that closely match the implemented item. If you find errors or missing references, please contact us and we will try to include these in the next release.
