Public Instance Properties
 BestPopulationsHistorySize | Specifies the number of best populations to keep. |
| GenerationNumber | Current generation number. |
| OptimizationType | Specifies desired optimization type for the problem. |
Public Instance Methods
 Equals (inherited from Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. |
| Evolve | Overloaded. Start searching for problem solution. |
| GetHashCode (inherited from Object) | Serves as a hash function for a particular type, suitable for use in hashing algorithms and data structures like a hash table. |
| GetType (inherited from Object) | Gets the Type of the current instance. |
| ToString (inherited from Object) | Returns a String that represents the current Object. |
Public Instance Events
 NewGeneration | Ocures when new generation has been born and evaluated. |
| SolutionFound | Ocures when the problem solution has been found. |
Protected Instance Constructors
 GeneticAlgorithm Constructor | Initializes GeneticAlgorithm class instance. |
Protected Instance Fields
 bestPopulations | holds an array of nest populations. |
| bestSolutionsHistorySize | specifies the length (size) of the best population history. |
| currentGenerationNumber | holds current generation number. |
Protected Instance Methods
| EvaluatePopulation | Evaluates population and calculates population fitness. Assigns array of evalutaion and fitness properties for population. |
| Finalize (inherited from Object) | Allows an Object to attempt to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. |
| FindSolution | The child class overrides this method to find a solution in current population. |
| MemberwiseClone (inherited from Object) | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. |
| OnNewGeneration | Raises the NewGeneration event. |
| OnSolutionFound | Raises the SolutionFound event. |
| PerformCrossover | Selects individuals from currentPopulation and adds their children to intermediatePopulation until intermediatePopulation size becomes equal currentPopulation size. |
| PerformMutation | Performs mutations on members of intermediatePopulation. After that step intermediatePopulation becomes current population. |
| PerformSelection | Selects individuals from currentPopulation and adds their clones to intermediatePopulation. |
