A Cultural Algorithm for the Two Variable Integer Programming Problem
A specific implementation of cultural algorithm is presented here for solving the following two variable integer programming problem with n constraints: Maximize or Minimizeare signed integers. A cultural algorithm consists of a population component almost identical to that of the genetic algorithm and, in addition, a knowledge component called the belief space. As the integer programming problem is a constrained optimization problem, the constraints including nonnegativity and integer restrictions are availed as the knowledge component and used to build the belief space.
