Effect of the number of parents in multi-parent genetic algorithms
Abstract:
Genetic algorithm (GA) has been successfully applied to many numerical optimization problems in history. Multi-parent genetic algorithm (MPGA) is a generalized genetic algorithm. The crossover operator in MPGA uses more than two parents, differs from the original genetic algorithm, for the transformation of genetic information. Since MPGA has been increasing its interest in the family of genetic algorithms, it becomes an interesting algorithm to improve the solutions better than the traditional genetic algorithm. In this study, the effect of the number of parents in MPGA is investigated for solving ten multimodal high dimension benchmark functions and the problem of shuttle bus routing system (SBRS) in Thammasat University (Rangsit Campus). The experiment proves that using more parents in genetic algorithm yield better solution than the traditional genetic algorithm without taking too much on computation time
