All Implemented Interfaces:

Changeable, GeneticAlgorithm

public final class SimpleGeneticAlgorithm
extends AbstractGeneticAlgorithm

A simple implementation of the GeneticAlgorithm interface it is not intended that this class be overidden, hence it is final. It is much better to overide AbstractGeneticAlgorithm.

Method Detail

getGeneration

public int getGeneration()

The current generation

Returns:

an int giving the generation number

getCrossResults

public List getCrossResults()

Get a List containing details of all the cross over events during the run. If run(GAStoppingCriteria stoppingCriteria) has not yet been called the list will be empty. This implementation only stores a buffer of the last 100 crosses for memory reasons.

Returns:

a List of GACrossResult objects.

run

public void run(GAStoppingCriteria stoppingCriteria)
         throws ChangeVetoException,
                IllegalAlphabetException,
                IllegalSymbolException

Description copied from interface: GeneticAlgorithm

Iterates the Algorithm until the stopping criteria are met. For saftey implementations should synchronize on this method.

Parameters:

stoppingCriteria - determines when to stop.

Throws:

ChangeVetoException - if the Population being modified is locked

IllegalAlphabetException - if the MutationFunction chosen attempts to modify a Symbol from one of the Chromosomes to a Symbol outside of its Alphabet.

IllegalSymbolException - if the MutationFunction chosen is using the wrong Alphabet.
