Abstract EN
Genetic algorithms have become increasingly important for researchers in resolving difficult problems because they can provide feasible solutions in limited time.
Using genetic algorithms to solve a problem involves first defining a representation that describes the problem states.
Most previous studies have adopted one-dimensional representation.
Some real problems are, however, naturally suitable to two-dimensional representation.
Therefore, a two-dimensional encoding representation is designed and the traditional genetic algorithm is modified to fit the representation.
Particularly, appropriate two-dimensional crossover and mutation operations are proposed to generate candidate chromosomes in the next generations.
A two-dimensional repairing mechanism is also developed to adjust infeasible chromosomes to feasible ones.
Finally, the proposed approach is used to solve the scheduling problem of assigning aircrafts to a time table in an airline company for demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed genetic algorithm.
