title: Genetic algorithms based on wavelet transform for resolving simulated overlapped spectra.
abstract: Wavelet transform-based genetic algorithms are proposed for resolving simulated overlapped spectra. Wavelet transform as a derivative method is used for de-noising, for deducting background absorption as well as for peak finding in order to get an estimation of parameters of unresolved spectra. Then genetic algorithms, using the estimations of parameters as input values, are employed to resolve unresolved bands. As a consequence, a good optimized solution was achieved since the reliable estimation of initial values can greatly facilitate the convergence of genetic algorithms and the calculation time is shortened accordingly.
