Introduction to Genetic Algorithms in Electromagnetics

Abstract

This special issue of the ACES Journal is devoted to nev developments in Genetic Algorithm (GA) applications in computational electromagnetics. Genetic Algorithms have become extremely popular in the computational electromagnetics literature. The papers included in this special issue are very arcane, so I decided to include an unreviewed tutorial overview at the last minute as an introduction for those of you who are at a more basic level. GAs model natural selection and genetics on a computer to optimize a wide range of problems.
