The Big Mutation:An Operation to Improve the Performance of Genetic Algorithms
Guizhong Liu · Control theory & applications · 1998
With the increasingly wide applications of genetic algorithms (GAs),its instinct drawback,the extraordinarily slow convergence,becomes the biggest obstacle of its further acceptation in many application fields. To combat this problem,a kind of operation,named big mutation,is discussed in this paper. After giving some explanation of the background and implementation of this operation,this paper provides the results of a numerical experiment to prove its efficiency and stability.
