GENETIC ALGORITHM

Specialty Definition: GENETIC ALGORITHM

DomainDefinition

Computing

Genetic algorithm (GA) An evolutionary algorithm which generates each individual from some encoded form known as a "chromosome" or "genome". Chromosomes are combined or mutated to breed new individuals. "Crossover", the kind of recombination of chromosomes found in sexual reproduction in nature, is often also used in GAs. Here, an offspring's chromosome is created by joining segments choosen alternately from each of two parents' chromosomes which are of fixed length. GAs are useful for multidimensional optimisation problems in which the chromosome can encode the values for the different variables being optimised.

A search algorithm based on the mechanics of natural selection and natural genetics. Source: European Union. (references)
 An iterative procedure maintaining a population of structures that are candidate solutions to specific domain challenges. During each generation the structures in the current population are rated for their effectiveness as solutions, and on the basis of these evaluations, a new population of candidate structures is formed using specific "genetic operators" such as reproduction, crossover, and mutation.
