Hi am ajendra singh i would like to get details on genetic algorithm matlab video lectures nptel My friend Justin said genetic algorithm matlab video lectures nptel will be available here and now i am living at kanpur up and i last studying in the college/school mbm engineering college jodhpur and now am doing M.E. (Design)i need help on genetic algorithm by matlab.
A genetic algorithm (GA) is a method for solving both constrained and unconstrained optimization problems based on a natural selection process that mimics biological evolution. The algorithm repeatedly modifies a population of individual solutions. At each step, the genetic algorithm randomly selects individuals from the current population and uses them as parents to produce the children for the next generation. Over successive generations, the population "evolves" toward an optimal solution.
You can apply the genetic algorithm to solve problems that are not well suited for standard optimization algorithms, including problems in which the objective function is discontinuous, nondifferentiable, stochastic, or highly nonlinear.
