Abstract (EN): A random-key genetic algorithm is an evolutionary metaheuristic for discrete and global optimization. Each solution is encoded as an array of n random keys, where a random key is a real number, randomly generated, in the continuous interval [0,1] A decoder maps each array of random keys to a solution of the optimization problem being solved and computes its cost. The algorithm starts with a population of p arrays of random keys. At each iteration, the arrays are partitioned into two sets, a smaller set of high-valued elite solutions and the remaining nonelite solutions. All elite elements are copied, without change, to the next population. A small number of random-key arrays (the mutants) are added to the population of the next iteration. The remaining elements of the population of the next iteration are generated by combining, with the parametrized uniform crossover of Spears and DeJong (On the virtues of parameterized uniform crossover. In: Proceedings of the fourth international conference on genetic algorithms, San Mateo, pp 230-236, 1991), pairs of arrays. This chapter reviews random-key genetic algorithms and describes an effective variant called biased random-key genetic algorithms.
