Although the structure of Genetic Algorithm (GA) are almost the same for solving different problems, their parameters vary a lot, including “population size”, “fitness function”, “type of crossover & mutation operators”, “crossover rate”, and “mutation rate”. Since the invention of the genetic algorithm, a lot of efforts have been put to understand how each parameter will affect the performance of the genetic algorithm, but no conclusive and definite conclusion has been drawn. In other words, the effect of these parameters on the performance is local to each specific problem.
