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.

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 ...

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 ...
