AIM:-  

  1. Write a code in MATLAB to optimize the stalagmite function and find the global maxima of the function.
  2. Clearly explain the concept of genetic algorithm in your own words and also explain the syntax for ga in MATLAB in your report.
  3. F maximum Vs no. of iterations. 

Introduction:-

A genetic algorithm is a search heuristic that is inspired by Charles Darwin’s theory of natural evolution. This algorithm reflects the process of natural selection where the fittest individuals are selected for reproduction in order to produce offspring of the next generation. The genetic algorithm is inspired by the process that drives biological evaluation. The process of evaluation starts with the selection of the fittest individuals from a population. Then they produce offspring which inherit the characteristics of the parents and will be added to the next generation. If parents have better fitness, their offspring will be better than parents and have a better chance at surviving. This process keeps on iterating and in the end, a generation with the fittest individuals will be found. And this is the main working principle for the algorithm because, at each step, the genetic algorithm selects randomly from the current population to be parents and uses them to produce the children for the next generation. Over successive generations, the population evolves towards an optimal solution. The genetic algorithm can be applied to solve a variety of optimization problems that are not well suited for standard optimization algorithms, including problems in which the objective function is discontinuous, nondifferentiable, stochastic, or highly nonlinear.
