THE LIGHTWEIGHT GENETIC SEARCH ALGORITHM: AN EFFICIENT GENETIC ALGORITHM FOR SMALL SEARCH RANGE PROBLEMS
Chun-Hung Lin, Ja‐Ling Wu · International Journal of Computational Engineering Science · 2004
In this paper, the effectiveness of the genetic operations of the common genetic algorithms, such as crossover and mutation, are analyzed for small search range situations.As expected, the so-obtained e f lciency/performance of the genetic operations as quite different from thut of their large search range counterparts.To fill this gap, a lightweight genetic search algorithm is presented to provide an eficient way for generating near optimal solutions for these kinds of applications.
