Abstract
Our research has been focused on developing techniques for solving binary constraint satisfaction problems (CSP) using evolutionary
algorithms, which take into account the constraint graphs topology. In this paper, we introduce a new idea to improve the
performance of evolutionary algorithms, that solve complex problems. It is inspired from a real world observation: The ability
to evolve for an individual in an environment that changes is not only related to its genetic material. It also comes from
what has learned from it parents. The key idea of this paper is to use its inheritance to dynamically improve the way the
algorithm creates a new population using a given set of operators. This new dynamic operator selection strategy has been applied
to an evolutionary algorithm to solve CSPs, but can be easily extended to other class of evolutionary algorithms. A set of
benchmarks shows how the new strategy can help to solve large NP-hard problems with the 3-graph coloring example.
