Genetic Algorithm Software


C++ Software: Function Approximation

Download a C++ program which uses a genetic algorithm to fit an arbitrary series of points on the xy plane with a polynomial. The program uses generic class templates representing "Chromosome" and "Population" objects to do most of the work.
Fitting polynomials is not the best application of genetic algorithms, but is presented instead as an illustration of the use of the class templates.
This program is written as a Windows console application, but removing two or three lines of code will make it platform-independent.

C++ Software: Neural Network Construction

Download a simple C++ program (not based on the Node class library) for genetic algorithm training of fully connected, single-hidden layer feedforward networks.
This program is written as a Windows console application, but removing two or three lines of code will make it platform-independent.

Java Software

Coming soon: Java applications and applets based on a Java Chromosome and Population class libraries.
