Abstract
In this chapter we will explore different techniques that are frequently used to optimize genetic algorithms. Additional optimization techniques become increasingly important as the problem being solved becomes more complex. A well-optimized algorithm can save hours or even days when solving larger problems; for this reason,optimization techniques are essential when the problem reaches a certain level of complexity.
