Abstract

This paper describes Sexual Reproduction Genetic Algorithm(SRGA) for function optimization. In SRGA, each individual utilize a diploid chromosome structure. Sex cells(gametes) are produced through artificial meiosis in which crossover and mutation occur. The proposed method has two selection operators, one, individual selection which selects the individual to fertilize, and the other, gamete selection which makes zygote for offspring production. We consider the effects of multi-selection and diploidy on search performance. SRGA improves local and global search(exploitation and exploration) and show optimum tracking performance in nonstationary environments. Gray coding is incorporated to transforming the search space and Genic uniform distribution method is proposed to alleviate the problem of premature convergence.
