A Genetic Algorithm Based on a New Real Coding Approach
Guoshan Zhang, Wanliang Liu · 2012
Genetic algorithm is a kind of common method to solve nonlinear programming problems. To improve the computational efficiency of the algorithm, a genetic algorithm based on a new real code (NRCGA) was proposed, which could solve a class of nonlinear programming problems. The new real coded strategy can be used to repair all of the infeasible chromosomes by simply sorting and keeping search within the feasible region. NRCGA is more accurate than the existing methods on equality constraint handling. Many examples show that the new algorithm has high search efficiency and strong robustness.
