1. The reproduction operator selects at random a pair of two individual strings for the matic
2. Act
s site is selected at random along the string length,
3, Hinully, the position values are swapped between the two strings following the cross site.
That is the simplest way how to do that is to choose randomly some crossover point and copY 68%.

1593.1 Single-Point Crossover
‘The cational genetic algorithm uses single-poine crossover, where the wo mating chromosomes are cut
neat cnresponng points and the sections afer the cuts exchanged. Here,

1893.2 Two-Point Crossover
Anat fom single-point crossover, many diferen croxover algorithms have been devised, often involving
sre han one cut point. Ir shouldbe noted tat adding Further crossover poins reduces the performance of
the GA. The problem with ang additional crossover points is tha building blocks are more ily to be
