Module genevo::termination
source · [−]Expand description
Termination determines when to stop the process of the genetic algorithm. Common termination conditions are:
- A solution is found that satisfies minimum criteria
- A fixed number of generations is reached
- An allocated budget (computation time/money) is reached
- The highest ranking solution’s fitness is reaching or has reached a plateau such that successive iterations no longer produce better results
- …or a combination of such termination conditions.
Termination conditions are defined by implementing the Termination trait.
Each kind of termination condition should be implemented as a separate
type. Terminations conditions are combined using combinators such as
logical and and logical or.
A combinator is a special Termination condition that combines two other
Termination conditions with a logical operation. The most important
combinators are provided in the combinator package.
For convenience the provided combinators can be instantiated by using
the public functions and and or which are reexported by this module.
Re-exports
Modules
The limiter package provides Termination functions that stop the
simulation when a certain limit is reached.
Enums
The StopFlag is the result of the Termination function. It tells
the simulation whether it shall stop or if it can continue.
Traits
A Termination defines a condition when the Simulation shall stop.
Type Definitions
A StopReason should explain to the user of the simulation why the
simulation has been stopped. Examples:
