title: [Genetic algorithms and its application to spectral analysis].
abstract: Genetic algorithm derived from the principle of natural selection and the concepts of genetics is a global search method, which is not only highly effective but also parallel. Its essential theory, operating method, application to spectral analysis and trend of development are reviewed with 66 references.
