Why should you use Genetic Search?
Genetic Search is ideal for solving problems for which:
- The search space is discontinuous or non-smooth
- The constraints are complex
- The performance measure is complex or mathematically intractable
Genetic Search can come up with counterintuitive solutions, inventing new approaches to a problem. The variety of solutions produced by Genetic Search is potentially unlimited.
What does the Genetic Search Toolbox do?
The Genetic Search Toolbox provides an integrated environment for formulating and carrying out genetic searches. The toolbox contains commands for:
- Creating, manipulating, and decimating chromosomes
- Managing chromosome populations
- Selecting chromosomes based on a variety of criteria
- Obtaining population statistics
The Genetic Search Toolbox incorporates graphical user interfaces for automatically writing the search code and for intervening in a running search.
The Genetic Search Toolbox comes with several tutorial examples that demonstrate the toolbox features. These examples include:
- One and two-dimensional numerical optimization, with and without constraints
- Integer programming
- Linear compensator design
- Direct nonlinear control synthesis
- Nonlinear servo systems
- Nonlinear chemical process control
- Nonlinear spacecraft control
- Nonlinear missile guidance law development
- Direct nonlinear observer synthesis
- State estimation for a nonlinear system
- Spacecraft orbit state and parameter estimation
- Game and bargaining problems
- Job-shop scheduling
- Air traffic scheduling
- Neural network optimization
- Stock trading system with fuzzy logic rules
Online and printed user's manuals are also included.
