Original Abstract

The purpose of the paper is to discuss the qualitative properties of a certain class of genetic algorithms from the reliability viewpoint. The reliability of the algorithm is understood as the seldom occurance of big computational errors. This concept is measured either by a simple error probability estimate for a given error level or by a error level estimate for a given probability. Then the suitable value of the lifetime parameter is chosen minimizing above-mentioned measures. A short remark is addressed to the stability of such choice. General ideas are tested for a specific GA class with an advanced crossover operator. It also includes a lifetime limit of population element. All computations are realized for an example of staircase function identification.
