Abstract

This work describes the structure and the operation of a basic genetic algorithm. The studies show that the genetics algorithms (GAs) always offer an answer that tends to be the best over time, satisfied with knowledge on the problem, we can improve the function of evaluation that was always search of inside the current population those solutions that possess the best characteristic and tries to combine them of form to generate solutions still better and the process is repeated until we have obtained a solution for our problem.The (GA) go in the scene to resolve those problems whose exact algorithms are extremely slow or unable to obtain a solution.
