Commentary—Developing Fitter Genetic Algorithms
Ravindra K. Ahuja, James B. Orlin · INFORMS journal on computing · 1997
The feature article by Reeves presents an excellent survey of genetic algorithms (GAs). It covers the history of GAs and the application of GAs to combinatorial problems, while providing useful background and a balanced operations research (OR) perspective. In this commentary, we hope to complement the survey by focusing on some aspects of GAs that Reeves did not have an opportunity to comment on in depth.
