In recent years the genetic algorithm (GA) was used successfully to solve many optimization problems. One of the most difficult questions of applying GA to a particular problem is that of coding. In this paper a scheme is derived to optimize one aspect of the coding in an automatic fashion. This is
A hybrid of genetic algorithm and local optimization was tested on a massively multimodal spin-lattice problem involving a huge configuration space. The resuits are good, and global optima will probably be achieved in a sizeable proportion of cases, especially if a selection scheme is applied that m
## Abstract A modified genetic algorithm with realβnumber coding, nonβuniform mutation and arithmetical crossover operators was described in this paper. A local minimization was used to improve the final solution obtained by the genetic algorithm. Using the expβ6β1 interatomic energy function, the
