Problema
A genetic algorithm improves a population of candidate solutions the way evolution does: select fit parents, combine them, and add random mutations. Here the candidates are bit strings and fitness is the number of 1s (the OneMax problem).
To make it testable, every random choice is given. With N strings (N is even), build N children in pairs. For pair k = 0, 1, …, N/2 - 1:
- Selection: parent1 wins tournament
tournaments[2k]and parent2 winstournaments[2k + 1]. A tournament[i, j]is won by whichever ofpopulation[i]andpopulation[j]has more 1s; on a tie,population[i]wins. - Crossover at c =
crossover_points[k]: child 2k = parent1[0:c] + parent2[c:] and child 2k + 1 = parent2[0:c] + parent1[c:].
Then apply each mutation [child, position] in order by flipping that bit of that child.
Implement ga_generation(population, tournaments, crossover_points, mutations).
Input
population: N bit strings of equal length L.
tournaments: N pairs of population indices.
crossover_points: N/2 cut points, each between 1 and L - 1.
mutations: [child, position] pairs (may be empty).
Output
Return the N children in order.
Restricciones
2 ≤ N ≤ 200 (N even), 2 ≤ L ≤ 64
0 ≤ number of mutations ≤ 1,000
Ejemplos
Entrada:
mutations = [
[0, 0]
]
population = ["0000", "1111", "1100", "0011"]
tournaments = [
[0, 1],
[2, 3],
[1, 2],
[0, 3]
]
crossover_points = [2, 1]
Salida esperada:
expected = ["0100", "1111", "1011", "0111"]Entrada:
std::vector<std::vector<long long>> mutations = {
{0, 0}
};
std::vector<std::string> population = {"0000", "1111", "1100", "0011"};
std::vector<std::vector<long long>> tournaments = {
{0, 1},
{2, 3},
{1, 2},
{0, 3}
};
std::vector<long long> crossover_points = {2, 1};
Salida esperada:
std::vector<std::string> expected = {"0100", "1111", "1011", "0111"};Entrada:
long[][] mutations = new long[][] {
new long[] {0, 0}
};
string[] population = new string[] {"0000", "1111", "1100", "0011"};
long[][] tournaments = new long[][] {
new long[] {0, 1},
new long[] {2, 3},
new long[] {1, 2},
new long[] {0, 3}
};
long[] crossover_points = new long[] {2, 1};
Salida esperada:
string[] expected = new string[] {"0100", "1111", "1011", "0111"};Explicación
Pair 0: "1111" beats "0000", and "1100" ties "0011" so the first one wins. Cutting after 2 bits gives "1100" and "1111". Pair 1: parents "1111" and "0011", cut after 1 bit: "1011" and "0111". Finally child 0 has bit 0 flipped: "0100".
Entrada:
mutations = []
population = ["10", "01"]
tournaments = [
[0, 1],
[1, 0]
]
crossover_points = [1]
Salida esperada:
expected = ["11", "00"]Entrada:
std::vector<std::vector<long long>> mutations = {};
std::vector<std::string> population = {"10", "01"};
std::vector<std::vector<long long>> tournaments = {
{0, 1},
{1, 0}
};
std::vector<long long> crossover_points = {1};
Salida esperada:
std::vector<std::string> expected = {"11", "00"};Entrada:
long[][] mutations = new long[][] {};
string[] population = new string[] {"10", "01"};
long[][] tournaments = new long[][] {
new long[] {0, 1},
new long[] {1, 0}
};
long[] crossover_points = new long[] {1};
Salida esperada:
string[] expected = new string[] {"11", "00"};Explicación
Both strings have one 1, so each tournament is won by its first index: parent1 = "10" and parent2 = "01". Cutting after 1 bit gives "11" and "00".
