There are two potential approaches when performing cross-over operation in genetic algorithms.
Use only the elites in the pool, probably the ones that are also going to be directly transferred to the next generation.
Use all the population present…

Does elitism cause premature convergence in genetic algorithms?
I have a genetic algorithm which is working fairly well. It's got all the standard operators, including initial random population, crossover ratio, mutation rate, degree of mutation, etc.
This works fairly well, and I have tuned and optimized the…
