Which of the following are the prerequisites when genetic algorithms are applied to solve problems?
What’s the connection between evolutionary algorithms and mother nature, and how can it help solve complicated computing problems? Show
Wikipedia defines evolution as “a change in the heritable characteristics of biological populations over successive generations”. While it often relates to mother nature, animals or humans, it’s also a part of the computing world. Natural Selection in CodeGenetic algorithms imitate the evolution process in nature by evolving superior solutions to problems. Natural selection plays a major part in this process – the differential survival and reproduction of individuals due to differences in phenotype. The Evolution of the Traveling Salesman ProblemWhen choosing to use genetic algorithms (that’s part of evolutionary algorithms), the first thing we need to understand is how to represent an individual solution in our population. In order to understand how to do that, we’ll use the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP):
