遗传算法——进化论思想与遗传学原理在工程优化中的应用

优胜劣汰是自然界物种进化的法则，近年来，生物科学中的进化论思想与遗传学原理被成功地应用于工程中优化问题的计算，于是产生了一种不同于传统算法的优化算法———遗传算法（ＧＡ）。本文介绍遗传算法所采用的进化论思想和遗传学原理，遗传算法的基本操作、算法步骤、不同于传统算法的特点以及遗传算法的发展历史与应用情况等，并对遗传算法对生物科学的可能应用作了简单的展望。

Genetic Algorithms:An Application of Evalution Theory and Genetics to Optimization Problems in Engineering

The natural rule tells that the superiors survive.Recently,the evalution theory and principles of genetics of bioscience are employed to the computation of optimization problems in engineering sucessfully.Thus a computation method for optimization problems.i.e.Gentic Algorithm (GA) which is quits different form the classical ones,has been proposed.In this paper,the evalution theory and principles of genetics employed to genetic algorithm,the basic operations of genes applied in genetic algorithm,the steps of genetic algorithm,the advantages over the classical computation methods,the development of genetic algorithm and its applications are introduced.A simple prospects for the possible applications of genetic algorithm to bioscience is also given.
