Genetic algorithm overview. After the population is initialized, the algorithm iterates between evaluating the solutions from the current population and generating new solutions from selected candidates through various evolutionary operators. Termination usually occurs after a specified number of iterations (‘generations’) have elapsed, when an acceptable solution (such as within an allowable error threshold) has been found, or, after a fixed period during which the fitness has remained relatively constant.
