Abstract

This paper proposes a combination genetic algorithm (GA) for solving the combination optimization problems which can not be naturally solved by standard GAs. A combination encoding scheme and genetic operators are designed for solving combination optimization problems. We apply this combination GA to the portfolio optimization problem which can be reformulated approximately as a combination optimization problem. Experimental results show that the proposed combination GA is effective in solving the portfolio optimization problem.
