Title
Exploring A Two-market Genetic Algorithm
Abstract
The ordinary genetic algorithm may be thought of as conducting a single market in which solutions compete for success, as mea- sured by the fitness funtion. We introduce a two-market genetic algorithm, consisting of two phases, each of which is an ordinary single-market genetic algorithm. The two- market genetic algorithm has a natural inter- pretation as a method of solving constrained optimization problems. Phase 1 is optimality improvement; it works on the problem with- out regard to constraints. Phase 2 is feasi- bility improvement; it works on the existing population of solutions and drives it towards feasibility. We tested this concept on 14 stan- dard knapsack test problems for genetic al- gorithms, with excellent results. The paper concludes with discussions of why the two- market genetic algorithm is successful and of how this work can be extended.
