OCR: A SIMPLE GENETIC ALGORITHM inserts random individuals into Initialization Population Selection High-Fitness a population. Fitness evaluation assigns a "fitness" value to each individual. The algorithm usually applies ons or mors Individuals genetic operators In each generation. Typically this includes a Evaluated Selection operator to weed out the low fitness individuals and Individuals Parert duplicate high-fitness individuals. Note that selection has no Individuals mechanism to bring new individuals into a population. Fitness Recombination and mutation are two common forms for search Evolution Mutation operators which do introduce new individuals. The algorithm evaluates the fitness of each new Individual. The number and type of genetic operators may vary as well as the order of their Child Recombination application. Fitness evaluation may be applied to all individuale Individuals in "noisy" environments or when an Individual's fitness depends on the current state of the population.
