Genetic algorithm was motivated by biological evaluation and has been applied to many industrial applications as a powerful tool for mathematical optimizations. In this paper, a new genetic optimization algorithm is proposed. The proposed method is based on Mendel's law, especially dominance and recessive property. Homologous chromosomes are introduced to implement dominance and recessive property compared with the standard genetic algorithm. Because of this property of suggested genetic algorithm, homologous chromosomes looks like the chromosomes for the standard genetic algorithm, so we can use most of existing genetic operations with little effort. This suggested method searches the larger solution area with the less probability of the premature convergence than the standard genetic algorithm.

In this paper, a new genetic algorithm is proposed for solving multimodal function optimization problems that are not easily solved by conventional genetic algorithm(GA)s. This algorithm finds one of local optima first and another optima at the next iteration. By repeating this process, we can locate all the local solutions instead of one local solution as in conventional GAs. To avoid converging to the same optimum again, we devise a new genetic operator, called a Mendel operator which simulates the Mendels genetic law. The proposed algorithm remembers the optima obtained so far, compels individuals to move away from them, and finds a new optimum.
