Intro to Scientific Computing
In the context of Monte Carlo Integration and Optimization, crossover refers to a genetic algorithm operator that combines two parent solutions to create offspring solutions. This process mimics natural selection and evolution, allowing for the exploration of the solution space and the potential improvement of optimization results. By merging features from parent solutions, crossover can help generate new candidates that may perform better in solving complex problems.
congrats on reading the definition of crossover. now let's actually learn it.
