linear_crossover: Performs linear crossover operation on a pair of two selected parent candidate solutions

Description

This function is not called directly but is given as a parameter in GA::ga function. In GA::ga, if the parameter crossover= is set to linear_crossover than the linear crossover operator is applied in the genetic search. linear_crossover generates three offspring and performs a selection mechanism to determine best two of them.

Usage

linear_crossover(object, parents, ...)

Value

A GA::ga object

parents

Indices of the selected parents

Examples

Run this code
f <- function(x){ 
  return(-sum( (x-5)^2 ) )
}
myga <- ga(type="real-valued", fitness = f, popSize = 100, maxiter = 100, 
           min = rep(-50,5), max = rep(50,5), crossover = linear_crossover)
print(myga@solution)
