Developing fitter genetic algorithms
R.K. Ahuja and J.B. Orlin, ORSA Journal of Computing 7, 251-253, 1997

Deals with a study which examined the context of genetic algorithms (GA) and its role in operations research. Problem representation in the GA; Observation on the performance of a neighborhood algorithm; Introduction of a crossover operator in the combinational optimization of the algorithm; Description of the mutation operator used in a typical GA.
