Abstract
Genetic algorithms (GAs) have excelled in locating global minima, but in many instances other low-lying minima are sought. A method is introduced here which has the analogue of predation in natural evolution, and which is linked to a variational theory on a metric space. The method is used to find the two most stable structures of small Morse, Aln and Cn clusters.
