These numbers show that the GA with the bit equalizer crossover operator is both robust
in finding the optimal solution and fast, although the speed of convergence is somewhat sensitive for the chosen initial population.
The following two figures further illuminate these findings.
Both the progress of the average fitness value (tracking error) of the best solution of each generation is shown and the progress of the fitness value of the best solution of each generation in a single, typical run are shown.
For certain other results found concerning the AEX-index tracking problem, we refer to [1].
