Abstract

This chapter introduces the fundamental concepts of Genetic Algorithm (GA) and its applications, which have become an essential tool for solving optimization problems in a wide variety of RAMS fields. The main aim of this chapter is to set out the general and practical guidelines for designing GA, and GA applications are defined too. The first part of this chapter explains the principle of GA. The GA construction, genetic operators, evolution model and replacement strategy, stop condition, and advantages and disadvantages of the ...
