Hi Dhanesh,
Crossover heuristic:
- The heuristic crossover is a method that generates a single offspring from two parents by moving from the worse parent towards the better parent.
- The ratio determines how far beyond the better parent the offspring will be created.
- Using a ratio greater than 1 encourages exploration by creating offspring that are not strictly within the bounds defined by the parent solutions.
Crossover intermediate:
- Intermediate crossover produce offspring that lie between the parents or beyond them, depending on the coefficients used.
- Setting the ratio to values greater than 1 can lead to offspring that lie outside the parents' interval.
Crossover Arithmetic:
- Arithmetic crossover is a specific type of intermediate crossover where the same coefficient is used for all dimensions of the problem.
- It offers a simpler and more consistent blending of parental genes.
