Selection and Penalty Strategies for Genetic Algorithms Designed to Solve Spatial Forest Planning Problems

Genetic algorithms (GAs) have demonstrated success in solving spatial forest planning problems. We present an adaptive GA that incorporates population-level statistics to dynamically update penalty functions, a process analogous to strategic oscillation from the tabu search literature. We also explo...
