evolutionary algorithm

subset of evolutionary computation

fitness function

objective function of an evolutionary algorithm

type of genetic operator used to maintain genetic diversity from one generation of a population of genetic algorithm chromosomes to the next

evolutionary programming

evolutionary algorithm paradigm where the structure of the program to be optimized is fixed, while its numerical parameters are allowed to evolve

crossover (genetic algorithm)

operator used to vary the programming of chromosomes from one generation to the next

AlphaEvolve is an evolutionary coding agent for designing advanced algorithms based on large language models such as Gemini. It was developed by Google DeepMind and unveiled in May 2025.

differential evolution

method of mathematical optimization

genetic operator

type of operator used in genetic algorithms to guide the algorithm towards a solution to a given problem

memetic algorithm

algorithm to accelerate the evolutionary search for the optimum.

set of parameters for a genetic algorithm
