A better, quicker alternative, he writes, is to employ an optimization algorithm that mimics a genetic process to find an optimal solution to a multivariable problem. He notes that other optimization ...

Genetic algorithms are problem-solving methods that mimic the process of natural selection and can be applied to predicting the movements of security prices.

In this paper, the set covering problem (SCP) is considered. Several algorithms have been suggested in the literature for solving it. We propose a new algorithm for solving the SCP which is based on ...

A genetic-algorithm-based (GA) approach is proposed to solve the 2E-CVRPSD. A simple encoding and decoding scheme, a modified route copy crossover operator, and a satellite-selection-based mutation ...
