selection operators
Selection operators are methods used in evolutionary algorithms to identify and prioritize candidate solutions based on their fitness or objective function values. These operators typically use various criteria, such as tournament selection, roulette wheel selection, or rank-based selection, to choose the most promising solutions and to create the next generation of individuals for the algorithm to iterate on. The goal of selection operators is to guide the search towards better solutions by promoting the fittest individuals to pass their genetic material to the next generation, mimicking the principles of natural selection in biological evolution.
