Abstract: Premature convergence is an important problem in evolutionary algorithms, in particular genetic algorithm. The diversity of the population is a very influence paprameter on premature convergence in genetic algorithm. In this paper, we attempt to improve the performance of genetic algorithms by providing a bi-linear allocation lifetime approach to label the chromosomes based on their fitness values. These labales applied within a set of fuzzy rules and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system genetic algorithm to select suitable sexual chromosomes for recombination. We have evaluated the proposed technique on several numerical functions by comparing its performance to the basic genetic algorithm. The results of our initial experiments demonstrate a clear advantage of the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system genetic algorithm over the other techniques.
