How would you choose those 'radical variations'?

I haven't found a good method yet. So far I've tried:

  • Swapping pairs of nodes for the top N so far.
  • Shuffling the nodes between two random points for the top N so far.
  • Reversing the nodes between two random picks for the top N so far.
  • Adding N new totally random shuffles to the set being evolved.

None of these seems to prevent the local minima phenomena.

The best approach I've found is once the top N stop changing; throw them all away (remembering the best 1) and start over with a completely new set of random picks.
