Abstract

Genetic algorithms, invented by J. H. Holland, emulate biological evolution in the computer and try to build programs that can adapt by themselves to perform a given function. In some sense, they are analogous to neural networks, but there are important differences between them. This paper shows that genetic algorithms are easy to program, test and analyze by means of APL2 functions.
