A High-Performance Genetic Algorithm: Using Traveling Salesman Problem as a Case by Chun-Wei Tsai, Shih-Pang Tseng, Ming-Chao Chiang, Chu-Sing Yang, Tzung-Pei Hong

“…This paper presents a simple but efficient algorithm for reducing the computation time of genetic algorithm (GA) and its variants. The proposed algorithm is motivated by the observation that genes common to all the individuals of a GA have a high probability of surviving the evolution and ending up being part of the final solution; as such, they can be saved away to eliminate the redundant computations at the later generations of a GA. …”
