4.2.2. Crossover and mutation operator
Actually, ALA-EA does not have any limitation in using
evolutionary operators. But, for finding more efficient
operators for MCPP, we had tested several operators.
In preliminary experiments, several crossovers (1-point,
2-point and uniform crossover) and mutation operators
(inversion, swap and random perturbation mutation) were
tested. Among them, the uniform crossover with the probability
of 100% and the swap mutation with the probability
of 100% gave better results. So we use them for the new
algorithm in this paper.
