Genetic algorithm approach on multi-criteria minimum spanning tree problem
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to analyze the minimum spanning tree problem using a genetic algorithm approach. The method supports the Prufer number as the tree encoding and utilizes the Multiple Criteria Decision Making and non-dominated sorting techniques to promote Pareto optimal solutions. Results indicated the effectiveness of the approach in solving the minimum spanning tree problem. Findings also showed that the technique can determine all Pareto optimal solutions close to the ideal point or generate a set of solutions distributed along the Pareto frontier.

Evolution program for deterministic and stochastic optimizations
Article Abstract:
A genetic algorithm for solving stochastic and deterministic optimization problems without continuity assumptions is introduced. The procedure, which has been implemented in C language, incorporates an exponential-fitness scaling scheme to prevent 'premature convergence at early generations and stalling at the late generation.' It employs the concept of mutation-1 for mutating the chromosomes in a free direction and mutation-2 for mutating them in the gradient or negative direction.
