Abstract

The graph partitioning problem occurs in numerous applications such as circuit placement, matrix factorization, load balancing, and community detection. For this problem, genetic algorithm is a representative approach with competitive performance with many related papers being published. Although there are a number of surveys on graph partitioning, none of them deals with genetic algorithms in much detail. In this survey, a number of problem-specific issues in applying genetic algorithms to the graph partitioning problem are discussed; the issues include encoding, crossover, normalization, and balancing.
