evolutionary algorithms  

Definition

  • Evolutionary algorithms (EA) are a family of analytical approaches loosely based on a selection-of-the-fittest evolutionary metaphor. Variants of EA are commonly applied to semistructured and multiobjective problems because they are not constrained by the same underlying assumptions on which many more traditional approaches are built.
