Abstract. Using a directed mutation can improve the efficiency of processing many optimization problems. The first mutation operators of this kind proposed by Hildebrand [1], however, suffer from the asymmetry parameter influencing the mutation step size. Extreme asymmetry can lead to infinite step size. The operator presented here overcomes this drawback and preserves the step size.
