now that this has some meat to it, should we consider de-stubifying it. There is much more that we can do with it, but I would question whether it still exists as a stub or not. Rgarvage 16:09, Aug 21, 2004 (UTC)

I don't think this is a stub either. Unless someone has plans on expanding it in the near future, it should be removed from stubhood. --Fastfinge 22:50, Sep 19, 2004 (UTC)

An information is not given in the article

It is not mentioned in the article where the mutation operation is used in the GA. There are N chromosomes in the last step. ( I say them old N chromosomes) There are three choises, I think.

1) N new chromosomes are generated by three operations: a) Some are directly copied from initial population b) Some are generated by crossover c) Some are generated by mutation (This is the algoritm used in MATLAB's implementation)

2) N old chromosomes enter crossover and after mating and crossover N new chromosomes are generated. There are 2 choises for this case.

  2.1) N new chromosomes enter mutation.
  2.2) Both N old and N new chromosomes enter mutation.

Which one above (1, 2.1 and 2.2) is true? OR Are all of them true? Kavas (talk) 08:17, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
