Improving the searching abilities of a real-valued genetic algorithm /

This investigation shows that a genetic algorithm seems to be able to search a solution space more effectively with the addition of a gradient-based local improvement scheme. The objective of this research was to determine if a new hybrid genetic algorithm, for optimization, is computationally more...
