Abstract

Fine-honing the crossover operator to produce higher fitness children is shown to result in improved genetic search. To illustrate this, two new general-purpose crossover operators are described. These operators require more computation time than traditional crossover operators, but the number of fitness evaluations and the overall amount of time spent by the genetic algorithm (to obtain solutions of desired near-optimal quality) is reduced significantly.
