An Introduction to Genetic Algorithms Jenna Carr May 16, 2014. Abstract Genetic Algorithms are a type of optimization algorithm, meaning they are used to find the maximum or minimum of a function. In this paper we introduce, illustrate, and discuss Genetic Algorithms for beginning users. We show what components make up Genetic Algorithms and how to write them. Using MATLAB, we program several examples, including a Genetic algorithm that solves the classic Traveling Salesman Problem. We also discuss the history of Genetic Algorithms , current applications, and future developments. Genetic Algorithms are a type of optimization algorithm, meaning they are used to find the optimal solution(s) to a given computational problem that maximizes or minimizes a particular function.
The mutation operator helps protect against this problem by maintaining diversity in the population, but it can also make the algorithm converge more slowly. Typically the selection, crossover, and mutation process continues until the number of o spring is the same as the initial population, so that the second generation is composed
