Analysis of Optimal Recombination in Genetic Algorithm for a Scheduling Problem with Setups
In this paper, we perform an experimental study of optimal recombination operator for makespan minimization problem on single machine with sequence-dependent setup times (1|s_vu|C_). The computational experiment on benchmark problems from TSPLIB library indicates practical applicability of optimal recombination in crossover operator of genetic algorithm for 1|s_vu|C_.
