They evolve a population of candidate solutions to the problem, using mutation, crossover and selection operators. Based on the diversity and the efficiency of four well known crossover operators, this study presents a novel operator called Combined Crossover Operator (CCO). The comparison with those four crossover operators shows that the results obtained by the CCO are promising. ER -
