A new crossover mechanism for genetic algorithms with variable-length chromosomes for path optimization problems

作者：

Highlights：

• A new crossover mechanism containing two operators is proposed.

• The new mechanism produces more cross point pairs than same point crossover.

• Our novel genetic algorithm has a desirable performance.
