gaMergePopulation¶
Creates a new population by merging two populations with identical chromosome structures.
Synopsis¶
gaMergePopulation (population1, population2)
Required Arguments¶
- Imsls_d_population
population1(Input) - An existing population with chromosome data structure and encoding
identical to
population2. - Imsls_d_population
population2(Input) - An existing population with chromosome data structure and encoding
identical to
population1.
Return Value¶
Function gaMergePopulation returns a new population consisting of the
individuals in population1 and population2. population1 and
population2 must have the same chromosome data structure and encoding,
although they can have different population sizes. Memory allocated to this
data structure can be released using
gaFreePopulation.
Optional Arguments¶
t_print, (Input)- By default, statistics are not printed. This option turns on printing of the summary statistics for the new population.
Description¶
Function gaMergePopulation creates a new population by combining the
individuals and chromosome information from two populations. The chromosome
