Toward a unified thermodynamic genetic operator
1987
Sirag, D.J. | Weisser, P.T.
Controlling the rate of population convergence in the Genetic Algorithm can be difficult. Poor convergence behavior can prevent the Genetic Algorithm from discovering an acceptable solution. Work toward a unified thermodynamic operator his been undertaken to improve performance in ordering problems such as the Travelling Salesman Problem. The operator uses a model of genetic activity based on the Boltzmann distribution to allow control of convergence by a global temperature value as is done in Simulated Annealing.
