Assignment 2: S.No. UID Assignment Set
Assignment-2.1
Q1. GA is better than other traditional algorithm in that they are more robust. Satisfy this
statement with suitable examples and comparison between traditional and GA Techniques.
Q2. Inversion operator inverts the bits between two random sites. While deletion operator
randomly selects a bit and duplicates it. Verify the above statement with some valid point and
examples.
Assignment-2.2
Q1. Mutation prevents the algorithm to be trapped in a local minimum. It plays the role of
recovering the genetic materials as well as for randomly distributing genetic information. Justify
the statement with suitable examples.
Q2. GA is observed to have many implementation issues with its various applications. Mention
such issues and relate them with advantages of GA over traditional systems.
Q2. An inversion occurs when a single chromosome undergoes breakage and rearrangement
within itself. Briefly mention inversion criteria and its types that will support the answer.
Assignment-2.4
Q1. Translocation and inversion of chromosomes are mutations; crossing over is not. Clarify the
statement with suitable examples.
Q2. Genetic variation is a necessity for the process of evolution. Genetic operators used in
genetic algorithms are analogous to those in the natural world like survival of the fittest,
or selection; crossover and mutation. Specify examples to prove the statement.
Assignment-2.5
Q1. While each operator acts to improve the solutions produced by the genetic algorithm
working individually, the operators must work in conjunction with each other for the algorithm
to be successful in finding a good solution. Support the statement with some suitable operations
and examples.
Q2. It is observed that most natural representation for candidate solutions in GAs when solving a
discrete binary problem is a string of bits. Elaborate the statement with assumptions and
examples.
Q2. The initial population is randomly generated and then the algorithm iterates until the optimal
solution is found. Elaborate the statement in relation with algorithm of GA.
Assignment-2.7
Q1. The Locus Shift operator in GA can give various types of linear chromosomes from a parent
circular chromosome. Mention some steps required for such operation in GA.
Assignment-2.8
Q1. The initial population is randomly generated and then the algorithm iterates until the optimal
solution is found. Elaborate the statement in relation with algorithm of GA.
Q2. It is observed that most natural representation for candidate solutions in GAs when solving a
discrete binary problem is a string of bits. Elaborate the statement with assumptions and
examples.
