The functioning of the genetic algorithm is the result of different experiments on the different types of algorithms available. The choice of the parameters to be used proves to be fundamentally important for obtaining good results. First, a method is needed to code potential solutions in a form that the computer understands. A common approach is to encode the solution in the form of a binary string, with sequences of ones and zeros, where each bit represents the value of an aspect of the solution. Another method is to code solutions as lists of integers or real numbers. Finally, we can represent the solution with tree-shaped data structures. In the genetic algorithm the following topics are essential: the ...
