Genetic Algorithms GAs are adaptive heuristic search algorithms that belong to the larger part of evolutionary algorithms.
Genetic algorithms are based on the ideas of natural selection and genetics. These are intelligent exploitation of random search provided with historical data to direct the search into the region of better performance in solution space.
They are commonly used to generate high-quality solutions for optimization problems and search problems. Genetic algorithms simulate the process of natural selection which means those species who can adapt to changes in their environment are able to survive and reproduce and go to next generation.
Each generation consist of a population of individuals and each individual represents a point in search space and possible solution. This string is analogous to the Chromosome. Foundation of Genetic Algorithms Genetic algorithms are based on an analogy with genetic structure and behavior of chromosomes of the population. Thus each successive generation is more suited for their environment. Search space. The population of individuals are maintained within search space. Each individual represents a solution in search space for given problem.
Each individual is coded as a finite length vector analogous to chromosome of components. These variable components are analogous to Genes. Thus a chromosome individual is composed of several genes variable components. The individual having optimal fitness score or near optimal are sought. The individuals having better fitness scores are given more chance to reproduce than others. The individuals with better fitness scores are selected who mate and produce better offspring by combining chromosomes of parents.
The population size is static so the room has to be created for new arrivals. So, some individuals die and get replaced by new arrivals eventually creating new generation when all the mating opportunity of the old population is exhausted.
It is hoped that over successive generations better solutions will arrive while least fit die. Once the offspring produced having no significant difference from offspring produced by previous populations, the population is converged. The algorithm is said to be converged to a set of solutions for the problem. Operators of Genetic Algorithms Once the initial generation is created, the algorithm evolves the generation using following operators — 1 Selection Operator: The idea is to give preference to the individuals with good fitness scores and allow them to pass their genes to successive generations.
Two individuals are selected using selection operator and crossover sites are chosen randomly. Then the genes at these crossover sites are exchanged thus creating a completely new individual offspring. For example —. Skip to content. Change Language.
