THEORY AND APPLICATION OF GENETIC ALGORITHM

Genetic Algorithm(GA)is a kind of recursive computational procedure based on the simulation of principle principles of evaluation of living organisms in nature.Based on brief introduction of the principle,the beginning and development of the algorithms,the paper reviewed its applications in the fields of optimization,fitting and calibration,structure analysis and spectra interpretation,variable selection,and its usage in combination with others.The application of GA needs no initiating knowledge of the system,and therefore,is a comprehensive optimization method with extensive application in terms of processing complex non-linear problems.
