GENETIC ALGORITHM AS A TOOL FOR SOLVING OPTIMISATION PROBLEMS
The article focuses on the peculiarities of using the genetic algorithm (GA) for solving optimization problems. It provides a classification of optimization problems and offers a detailed description of the structural elements of the GA and their role in solving the traveling salesman problem. To assess the impact of GA parameters on its effectiveness, a study on the influence of population size on the length of the traveling salesman's route is conducted.
