I will discuss 5 mechanisms whereby a population-based search algorithm may have a significant advantage over a non-population based (hill-climbing) search algorithm. These mechanisms are illustrated through a number of simplified “toy problems”. I then describe recent work to use run-time analysis to obtain a better understanding of how these mechanisms work.
