A High-Performance Genetic Algorithm: Using Traveling Salesman Problem as a Case

Algorithm 1

Outline of traditional genetic algorithm (GA).
GA1. Randomly generate an initial population of chromosomes.
GA2. Use the fitness function to select the fitter chromosomes.
GA3. Apply the crossover and mutation operators in order.
GA4. If a stopping criterion is satisfied, then stop and output the best
  chromosome.
GA5. Go to step 2.
