Genetic Algorithms in a Competitive Environment with Application to Reliability Optimal Design
C. Dimou, Vlasis K. Koumousis · Civil-comp proceedings · 2009
A study was performed on genetic algorithm (GA) in a competitive environment with application to reliability optimal design. The aim was to calibrate the size of the population of GA by altering the resources of the system. It was found that the proposed competitive algorithm controlled the evolution process favouring the expansion of promising populations and the contraction of the weak ones in a statistical sense.
