memetic algorithm
(foldoc) | memetic algorithm
A genetic algorithm or evolutionary algorithm
which includes a non-genetic local search to improve
genotypes. The term comes from the Richard Dawkin's term
"meme".
One big difference between memes and genes is that memes are
processed and possibly improved by the people that hold them -
something that cannot happen to genes. It is this advantage
that the memetic algorithm has over simple genetic or
evolutionary algorithms.
These algorithms are useful in solving complex problems, such
as the "Travelling Salesman Problem," which involves finding
the shortest path through a large number of nodes, or in
creating artificial life to test evolutionary theories.
Memetic algorithms are one kind of metaheuristic.

memetics
(foldoc) | memetics
/me-met'iks/ The study of memes.
As of mid-1993, this is still an extremely informal and
speculative endeavor, though the first steps toward at least
statistical rigor have been made by H. Keith Henson and
others. Memetics is a popular topic for speculation among
hackers, who like to see themselves as the architects of the
new information ecologies in which memes live and replicate.
