How Does the Genetic Algorithm Find Good Solutions

2 How Does the Genetic Algorithm Find Good Solutions  

To make informed choices concerning the values of adjustable parameters so that we can encourage the algorithm to seek out, and converge on, high-quality solutions, it is helpful to understand how evolution can locate a good solution therefore, we shall consider in this section the mechanism of the GA. 

A straightforward, though simplified, explanation of why the GA functions as an effective optimizer is as follows  

The relative orientations of most of the dipoles in this string are unpromising, but dipoles 7 and 8 (angles shown in bold) are pointing almost in the 

The growing clustering of strings in regions of higher fitness.
