Simple genetic algorithm has been successfully applied to many evolutionary optimization problems. But there is a problem of premature convergence for complex multimodal functions. To solve it, the frame and realization of niche genetic algorithm based on sexual reproduction are presented. Age and sexual structures are given to the individuals referring the sexual reproduction and \u201cniche\u201d phenomena, importing the niche selection technology. During age and sexual operators, different evolutionary parameters are given to the individuals with different age and sexual structures. As a result, this genetic algorithm can combat premature convergence and keep the diversity of population. The testing for Rastrigin function and Shubert function proves that the niche genetic algorithm based on sexual reproduction is effective.<\/p>","DOI":"10.4018\/japuc.2011010102","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,10,19]],"date-time":"2011-10-19T16:01:06Z","timestamp":1319040066000},"page":"7-15","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Niche Genetic Algorithm Based on Sexual Reproduction and Multimodal Function Optimization Problem"],"prefix":"10.4018","volume":"3","author":[{"given":"Yulong","family":"Tian","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"China University of Geosciences Great Wall College, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6998-7654","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Tao","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"North China Electric Power University, China"}]},{"given":"Weifang","family":"Zhai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"China University of Geosciences Great Wall College, China"}]},{"given":"Yaying","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hebei University Computer Center, China"}]},{"given":"Xinfeng","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"China University of Geosciences Great Wall College, China"}]}],"member":"2432","reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"japuc.2011010102-0","first-page":"160","article-title":"An improved multi-population genetic algorithm.","volume":"32","author":"X.Chen","year":"2009","journal-title":"Journal of Liaoning University of Technology"},{"issue":"8","key":"japuc.2011010102-1","first-page":"675","article-title":"Improvements on niche genetic algorithm.","volume":"24","author":"C.Huang","year":"2004","journal-title":"Journal of Beijing Institute of Technology"},{"key":"japuc.2011010102-2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/3477.485880"},{"journal-title":"MATLAB genetic algorithm toolbox and application","year":"2005","author":"Y.Lei","key":"japuc.2011010102-3"},{"issue":"5","key":"japuc.2011010102-4","first-page":"509","article-title":"A genetic algorithms with sexual reproduction.","volume":"8","author":"M.Li","year":"2003","journal-title":"Journal of Image and Graphics"},{"issue":"2","key":"japuc.2011010102-5","first-page":"59","article-title":"A multi-sexual genetic algorithm for multiobjective optimization.","volume":"1","author":"J.Lis","year":"1997","journal-title":"IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation"},{"key":"japuc.2011010102-6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/72.265964"},{"key":"japuc.2011010102-7","first-page":"1","article-title":"Dynamic parameter encoding for genetic algorithms.","volume":"\u25aa\u25aa\u25aa","author":"N.
