Objectives :-
To write a code to optimize the stagalmite function and maximize the global maxima.
Requirements:-
- Explanation od genetic algorithm and syntax in matlab
- make sure the program gives thw same output for any no of iterations
- plot all 3 graphs , f-maxima Vs no. of ierations with the title, legend,axes 7 labels.
Algorithm:-
is based on the evolution theory, this technique is used for solving noth constrained and unconstrained optimization problems , based on natural selection, the process that runs the biological evolution
- selection rule
- cross over rule
- mutation rule
find the local manima which is found to varry each time we run the programe the consistancy of this can be improved by , increasing the population size, asigning the boundedless, changing the mutation and crossover rate.
Syntax :- var_x = ga(@functions,nvars,A,b,Aeq,beq,lb,ub,nonicon,lntcon,options)
@function : The Function to be alaysed to find the minima.
nvars: This represnts the number of the variables to be evaluated.
A,b : This shows the linear inequality constraints.
Aeq,beq : This represnts the linear equalities.
lb,ub : Represents the lower and upper bound values in which the function is to evaluated.
nonicon : This shows the non linear constraints.
lntcon : This reprents the integer constraints.
options: thease are the options necessary for optimising the algorithm such as population size , cross over function.
Stagalmite Function :-
- A Stagalmite is an upward-growing mound of mineral deposits that have precipitated from water dripping onto the floor of a cave most stagalmite have rounded or flattened tips.
- A stagalmite function refers to the function with which are generating values over a stagalmite kind of surface for finding out the local and global maxima and minima of that particularly given function.
- in Matlab we use a method called optimization , it is programming that does a selection of the best element with regard to same criteria from the some set of population.

Explanation:-
- Find out stalagmite Function used for loop
- defining x and y as inputs using linspace.
- loops are incorporated in main code so that all combinations of x and y values is taken in the stalagmite function.
- GA function runs for 50 iterations. plots of the stalagmite and maximum value generated in each iteration
- GA function is incorporated with lower and upper bounds and rns for 50 iterations.
