概要	A Memetic Algorithm (MA) is a population-based metaheuristic that combines the global exploration of an evolutionary algorithm with the local exploitation of individual learning procedures. Introduced by Pablo Moscato in 1989 at Caltech, MAs draw on Richard Dawkins' concept of the meme — a unit of cultural transmission — to model the idea that solutions can improve not only through crossover and mutation but also through individual refinement within each generation.	Hyper-heuristics are high-level methodologies that search over a space of heuristics rather than directly over the space of solutions. Introduced systematically by Burke et al. (2013) in their landmark survey, hyper-heuristics operate by selecting or generating low-level heuristics to solve hard combinatorial optimisation and search problems, aiming to automate the design of optimisation algorithms across diverse problem domains without requiring deep problem-specific knowledge.
