The document provides an overview of genetic algorithms, including their history, principles, components, and applications. Specifically, it discusses how genetic algorithms can be used to solve the traveling salesman problem (TSP) through permutation encoding of cities, calculating fitness based on total tour distance, and using techniques like order-1 crossover to preserve city order in offspring.
The GENETIC ALGORITHM is a model of machine learning which derives its behavior from a metaphor of the processes of EVOLUTION in nature. Genetic Algorithm (GA) is a search heuristic that mimics the process of natural selection. This heuristic (also sometimes called a metaheuristic) is routinely used to generate useful solutions to optimization and search problems.

For three decades, many mathematical programming methods have been developed to solve optimization problems. However, until now, there has not been a single totally efficient and robust method to coverall optimization problems that arise in the different engineering fields.Most engineering application design problems involve the choice of design variable values that better describe the behaviour of a system.At the same time, those results should cover the requirements and specifications imposed by the norms for that system. This last condition leads to predicting what the entrance parameter values should be whose design results comply with the norms and also present good performance, which describes the inverse problem.Generally, in design problems the variables are discreet from the mathematical point of view. However, most mathematical optimization applications are focused and developed for continuous variables. Presently, there are many research articles about optimization methods; the typical ones are based on calculus,numerical methods, and random methods.
The calculus-based methods have been intensely studied and are subdivided in two main classes: 1) the direct search methods find a local maximum moving a function over the relative local gradient directions and 2) the indirect methods usually find the local ends solving a set of non-linear equations, resultant of equating the gradient from the object function to zero, i.e., by means of multidimensional generalization of the notion of the function’s extreme points from elementary calculus given smooth function without restrictions to find a possible maximum which is to be restricted to those points whose slope is zero in all directions. The real world has many discontinuities and noisy spaces, which is why it is not surprising that the methods depending upon the restrictive requirements of continuity and existence of a derivative, are unsuitable for all, but a very limited problem domain. A number of schemes have been applied in many forms and sizes. The idea is quite direct inside a finite search space or a discrete infinite search space, where the algorithms can locate the object function values in each space point one at a time. The simplicity of this kind of algorithm is very attractive when the numbers of possibilities are very small. Nevertheless, these outlines are often inefficient, since they do not complete the requirements of robustness in big or highly-dimensional spaces, making it quite a hard task to find the optimal values. Given the shortcomings of the calculus-based techniques and the numerical ones the random methods have increased their popularity.
This presentation is intended for giving an introduction to Genetic Algorithm. Using an example, it explains the different concepts used in Genetic Algorithm. If you are new to GA or want to refresh concepts , then it is a good resource for you.
Introduction to Optimization with Genetic Algorithm (GA)Ahmed Gad
Selection of the optimal parameters for machine learning tasks is challenging. Some results may be bad not because the data is noisy or the used learning algorithm is weak, but due to the bad selection of the parameters values. This article gives a brief introduction about evolutionary algorithms (EAs) and describes genetic algorithm (GA) which is one of the simplest random-based EAs.

SA is a global optimization technique.
It distinguishes between different local optima.
It is a memory less algorithm & the algorithm does not use any information gathered during the search.
SA is motivated by an analogy to annealing in solids.
& it is an iterative improvement algorithm.
Swarm Intelligence Heuristics for Graph Coloring ProblemMario Pavone
In this research work we present two novel swarm heuristics based respectively on the ants and bees artificial colonies, called AS-GCP and ABC-GCP. The first is based mainly on the combination of Greedy Partitioning Crossover (GPX), and a local search approach that interact with the pheromone trails system; the last, instead, has as strengths three evolutionary operators, such as a mutation operator; an improved version of GPX and a Temperature mechanism. The aim of this work is to evaluate the efficiency and robustness of both developed swarm heuristics, in order to solve the classical Graph Coloring Problem (GCP). Many experiments have been performed in order to study what is the real contribution of variants and novelty designed both in AS-GCP and ABC-GCP.
A first study has been conducted with the purpose for setting the best parameters tuning, and analyze the running time for both algorithms. Once done that, both swarm heuristics have been compared with 15 different algorithms using the classical DIMACS benchmark. Inspecting all the experiments done is possible to say that AS-GCP and ABC-GCP are very competitive with all compared algorithms, demonstrating thus the goodness of the variants and novelty designed. Moreover, focusing only on the comparison among AS-GCP and ABC-GCP is possible to claim that, albeit both seem to be suitable to solve the GCP, they show different features: AS-GCP presents a quickly convergence towards good solutions, reaching often the best coloring; ABC-GCP, instead, shows performances more robust, mainly in graphs with a more dense, and complex topology. Finally, ABC-GCP in the overall has showed to be more competitive with all compared algorithms than AS-GCP as average of the best colors found.

In recent years, consumers and legislation have been pushing companies to optimize their activities in such a way as to reduce negative environmental and social impacts more and more. In the other side, companies
must keep their total supply chain costs as low as possible to remain competitive.This work aims to develop a model to traveling salesman problem including environmental impacts and to identify, as far as possible, the contribution of genetic operator’s tuning and setting in the success and
efficiency of genetic algorithms for solving this problem with consideration of CO2 emission due to transport. This efficiency is calculated in terms of CPU time consumption and convergence of the solution. The best transportation policy is determined by finding a balance between financial and environmental
criteria.Empirically, we have demonstrated that the performance of the genetic algorithm undergo relevant
improvements during some combinations of parameters and operators which we present in our results part.
An Improved Iterative Method for Solving General System of Equations via Gene...Zac Darcy
Various algorithms are known for solving linear system of equations. Iteration methods for solving the
large sparse linear systems are recommended. But in the case of general n× m matrices the classic
iterative algorithms are not applicable except for a few cases. The algorithm presented here is based on the
minimization of residual of solution and has some genetic characteristics which require using Genetic
Algorithms. Therefore, this algorithm is best applicable for construction of parallel algorithms. In this
paper, we describe a sequential version of proposed algorithm and present its theoretical analysis.
Moreover we show some numerical results of the sequential algorithm and supply an improved algorithm
and compare the two algorithms.

In real world applications, most of the optimization problems involve more than one objective to
be optimized. The objectives in most of engineering problems are often conflicting, i.e., maximize
performance, minimize cost, maximize reliability, etc. In the case, one extreme solution would not satisfy
both objective functions and the optimal solution of one objective will not necessary be the best solution
for other objective(s). Therefore different solutions will produce trade-offs between different objectives
and a set of solutions is required to represent the optimal solutions of all objectives. Multi-objective
formulations are realistic models for many complex engineering optimization problems. Customized
genetic algorithms have been demonstrated to be particularly effective to determine excellent solutions to
these problems. A reasonable solution to a multi-objective problem is to investigate a set of solutions, each
of which satisfies the objectives at an acceptable level without being dominated by any other solution. In
this paper, an overview is presented describing various multi objective genetic algorithms developed to
handle different problems with multiple objectives.
