Abstract

The goal of np-hard Combinatorial Optimization is finding the best possible solution from the set of feasible solutions. In this paper, we establish an approach using genetic algorithm with various selection and crossover operators with repair function for an institute course timetabling problem. It employs a constructive heuristic approach to find the feasible timetable, fitness value calculation, selection operators, crossover operators and repair function. The performance of proposed and existing selection and crossover operators are compared and shown by keeping diversity in the fitness value of population.
