“…If that space is well-understood and contains structure that can be exploited by special-purpose search techniques, the use of genetic algorithms is generally computationally less efficient. If the space to be searched is not so well understood and relatively unstructured, and if an effective GA representation of that space can be developed, then GAs provide a surprisingly powerful search heuristic for large, complex spaces (Holland, 1985;De Jong, 1988;Goldberg, 1989).…”
