Using Matlab to Execute a Genetic Algorithm Optimization of Two Variable Function The function to be optimized is given by: [pic] The maximum value of this two variable function is desired‚ however Matlab’s gatool finds the minimum of fitness functions and so as in the previous example the function must be altered as follows: [pic] Now we must enter this function‚ as before‚ into a Matlab function file. Start Matlab and change the working directory to your Knowledge Based

pregnant women. Physical fitness has many positive effects on individuals’ physical health and well-being (). Exercise has been shown in previously conducted research to help ease muscle tension‚ alleviate back pain‚ and help regulate blood pressure (Jones‚ Dean and Lo‚ 2002). Exercise activity releases endorphins in the brain‚ which can improve mental focus‚ reduce anxiety and boost self-esteem (McArthur and Raedeke‚ 2009).

order to maximize her eggs’ survival possiblity. An elitist selection strategy is applied‚ so that only high-quality eggs (best solutions near the optimal value) have the opportunity to develop (next generation) and become mature cuckoos. The quality/fitness of the egg depends on the proximity of the egg with other eggs layed by the host bird. Population : The number of host nests (population) are fixed. The host bird can discover the alien egg (worse solutions away from the optimal value) with a certain
