GENERIC ALGORITHMS: EVOLUTION, ENCODING AND THEIR APPLICATIONS
Vikas Nandal, Deepak Nandal · 2013
This paper is to study the evolution of genetic algorithms, their encoding schemes and their current applications. The discussion includes the theoretical concepts of genetic algorithms, evolution history, encoding and GAs current applications. Theoretical topics under review include basic concepts of GA, genetic operators, encoding techniques and applications. Examples of genetic algorithms application that are included in this review are optimization, economic models, pattern recognition, robotics, artificial life, expert system, electronic circuit design and biological applications.
