*Small world is a 'best of both worlds' between diameter of a random graph and  clustering coefficient of a lattice.  It takes very few random rewirings to give a lattice a random-graph's diameter.  Is there a relationship between this and the particularly small value that mutation rate takes in GAs?  Mutation rate is often conceptualized as a jump in the solution space, so it may not be hard to establish a connection.

  • Small world is a 'best of both worlds' between diameter of a random graph and clustering coefficient of a lattice. It takes very few random rewirings to give a lattice a random-graph's diameter. Is there a relationship between this and the particularly small value that mutation rate takes in GAs? Mutation rate is often conceptualized as a jump in the solution space, so it may not be hard to establish a connection.
