Previous: 8.2 Representation of the Variables Up: 8. Optimization by Evolutionary Computation Next: 8.3.1 Selection
In this section the selection, crossover, and mutation operators important for continuous, real variables are defined. The operators for discrete variables are analogous to these, but because of their little significance for TCAD applications they are not presented here. The interested reader is referred to [40,49,63,77].
