Matlab Code of Adaptive Restart Hybrid Genetic Algorithm

Hi everyone, this is an adaptive restart hybrid genetic algorithm. This genetic algorithm is designed to overcome the weakness of the traditional genetic algorithm. First, this genetic algorithm can explore very large search space of the optimization problem because it has a mechanism to automatically restart its search process if getting stuck in local optima. Second, this genetic algorithm can effectively exploit the promising regions in the search space of the problem because it has a local search algorithm integrated inside the loop. Thereby, this genetic algorithm is very robust to search for global optimal solution for large scale optimization problems.

In this video, first, I will demonstrate the capability of the genetic algorithm in solving an optimization problem with 60 variables, and then I will show you the Matlab code of the genetic algorithm. If you want, you can copy the Matlab code and customize it to solve your own problems. Let’s see.

Sorry! This is only a half of the code.

Notice: It’s possible to watch the video and re-type the Matlab code yourself – that would take you from 1 to 3 hours; or with just €3.99 (the cost of a cup of coffee), you can download/copy the whole Matlab code within 2 minutes. It’s your choice to make.

Original price is €9.99 but today it’s only €3.99 (save €6 today – available for a limited time only)

No need to build the Matlab code from scratch because it’s very time-consuming. My idol, Jim Rohn, once said: “Time is more value than money. You can get more money, but you cannot get more time”. If you think this code can be used in your research/teaching work, you should download it and then customize/modify/apply it to your work, without any obligation of citing the original source if you don’t want. However, redistribution (i.e., downloading the code/script here and then making it available on another site on the Internet) is strictly prohibited.

Thank you very much and good luck with your research!
