Quasi-random initial population for genetic algorithms

H Maaranen, K Miettinen, MM Mäkelä - Computers & Mathematics with …, 2004 - Elsevier
The selection of the initial population in a population-based heuristic optimizationmethod is
important, since it affects the search for several iterations and often has an influence on the …

On initial populations of a genetic algorithm for continuous optimization problems

H Maaranen, K Miettinen, A Penttinen - Journal of Global Optimization, 2007 - Springer
Genetic algorithms are commonly used metaheuristics for global optimization, but there has
been very little research done on the generation of their initial population. In this paper, we …
