mcga (version 3.0.7)

byte_crossover_1p: Performs one-point crossover operation on a pair of two selected parent candidate solutions

Description

This function is not called directly but is given as a parameter in GA::ga function. In GA::ga, if the parameter crossover= is set to byte_crossover_1p than the byte-coded one-point crossover operator is applied in the genetic search. In mcga2 function, the hard-coded crossover parameter is set to byte_crossover by definition. byte_crossover_1p function simply takes two double vectors (parents) and combines the bytes of doubles using given cut-point.

Usage

byte_crossover_1p(object, parents, ...)

Value

List of two generated offspring

Arguments

object

A GA::ga object

parents

Indices of the selected parents

...

Additional arguments to be passed to the function

              min = rep(-50,5), max = rep(50,5), crossover = byte_crossover_1p,
              mutation = byte_mutation)
