Abstract

In this paper a new mutation operator is presented. It is based on simulating cosmic ray impact on living tissue. It was proved that the proposed mutation method has a compound probability distribution, which is also derived. Numerical experiments indicate the usefulness of this concept for problems of moderate sizes.
