Hi All!

I have some very basic questions about the GA operators. Sorry if
these questions are too low for this forum. I shall be thankfull if
any body can point me to some refernce material. The questions are:

1. How does steady state GA work? I would like to know the basics of
its principle.

2. How does Crossover rate work in Order-Based Crossover? i.e., what
is the effect of the crossover rate on the selecting of positions?

3. How does Order-Based mutation works and what role does mutation
rate play in it and how?

Regards
Imran
