Information on genetic variability in cowpea germplasm is important for crop improvement and efficient utilization of the existing resources. Hence, objectives present investigation were to estimate variability,

In this paper, a new genetic approach based on arithmetic crossover for solving the economic dispatch problem is proposed. Elitism, arithmetic crossover and mutation are used in the genetic algorithm to generate successive sets of possible operating policies. The proposed technique improves the quality of the solution. The new genetic approach is compared with an improved Hopfield NN approach (...
