Abstract :
This work investigates the application of cultural algorithms in the field of evolutionary electronics. Cultural Algorithms is an evolutionary model inspired by the cultural evolution process which shows many excellent characteristics and has succeeded in solving some complicated problems. Based on the population space in which individual evolves, the belief space is constructed, in which effective implicit information during the evolution process are abstracted and utilized. We propose the new means for designing electronic circuits and introduce the encoding of the circuit as a chromosome, the genetic operators and the fitness function. For the case studies, this means has proved to be efficient and the experiment results show that the new means have got the better results.
