Constructor Details

SimpleGeneticOptimizationSolver

public SimpleGeneticOptimizationSolver(int populationSize,
 int populationIncreaseMutation,
 int populationIncreaseCrossOver,
 int minIterations,
 double precision)

Creates a new simple genetic optimization solver.

Parameters:

populationSize - The size of the population

populationIncreaseMutation - How many new individuals are created by mutation (per individual)

populationIncreaseCrossOver - How many new individuals are created by cross-over (per pair of individuals)

minIterations - The minimal number of iterations

precision - If an iteration improves less than this value the algorithm ends

Method Details

solve

public Map<Variable,Term> solve(GeneralConstraintSatisfactionProblem problem)
                         throws GeneralMathException

Description copied from class: Solver

Specified by:

solve in class Solver

Parameters:

problem - the actual problem

Returns:

a mapping from variables of the problem to terms.

Throws:

GeneralMathException - if something went wrong.

solve

public Map<Variable,Term> solve(Term t,
 int optimization_objective)
                         throws GeneralMathException

Parameters:

t - the term to be evaluated

optimization_objective - one of OptimizationProblem.MAXIMIZE, OptimizationProblem.MINIMIZE

Returns:

the optimal variable assignment

Throws:
