[galib] customization problem

[#SAWHNEY ADITI#]

Supposing these below are the protoptypes for my customized initializer and objectiev functions.

float objective(GAGenome &, float);

void RouteInitializer(GAGenome &, float );

 
my question is how now do i pass the float parameter to teh fiunctions. normally to make gagenome use my customized function i would just issue:
GARealGenome genome(numCustomer+numVeh, alleles, objective);

genome.initializer(RouteInitializer);

but how will i pass my float parameter? oor should i make my parameter a global variable?

I'm sorry for the amateurish quetsiosn but i am new to galib and c++.

Thanks,

Aditi

Hello,

*GALinearScaling*(float c = /gaDefLinearScalingMultiplier/)
    The fitness scores are derived from the objective scores using the
    linear scaling method described in Goldberg's book. You can specify
    the scaling coefficient. *Negative objective scores are not allowed
    with this method.* Objective scores are converted to fitness scores
    using the relation

You can read in http://lancet.mit.edu/galib-2.4/API.html about the
Linear Scaling that not
allow negative scores. To minimize the objective function just call
ga.minimize(), like Anthony said.
This function is in GABaseGA.h:
    (...)
       int minimize() { return minimaxi(MINIMIZE); }

and the minimaxi() is in GABaseGA.c:
    (...)
       if(m==MINIMIZE)
          pop->order(GAPopulation::LOW_IS_BEST);

I hope that this can help.
