I don't know if this is the right place to ask for an answer to this question. If not, I would migrate the question with no problem. Anyway I use genetic algorithm quite often to find maxima and minima of a function, but i don't know why it work. Better, I guess why it work, but i would like to see a mathematical proof of the why this algorithm find the maxima and the minima of a function. Thanx
Why genetic algorithm find maxima/minima of a function

0Nothing ensures that a genetic algorithm will work, any more than evolution ensures that a species will survive. It's still basically a lot of trial-and-error effort to find better solutions. – 2012-11-09
