Learning Objectives:
Describe the difficulty of finding globally optimal solutions for problems with many local optima
Explain how evolutionary algorithms may be used to search for solutions
Explain the important advantage that GA methods may offer to find diverse near-optimal solutions
Explain how a GA searches for solutions by using selection proportional to fitness, crossover, and (very low levels of) mutation to fitness criteria and crossover mutation to search for a globally optimal solution to a problem
Compare and contrast the effectiveness of multiple search criteria for finding the optimal solution with a simple greedy hill climbing approach
