ENCODING SCHEMES IN GENETIC ALGORITHM
Anit Kumar · 2013
Genetic Algorithm (GA) are randomized searching and optimization techniques guided by the principles of evolution and natural genetic. They are efficient, adaptive and robust search processes. Genetic Algorithm handles a population of possible solutions represented by a chromosome and a chromosome is a sequence of genes. The main issue is how to represent the genes in a chromosome. Choosing the right scheme of encoding the genes is a crucial task. Encoding mainly depends on the type of problem. This paper studies different encoding schemes the problems in which they are used.
