GENlib:

GENlib is a library of functions for GENETIC ALGORITHMs. Included are two applications of this library to the field of neural networks. The first one called "cosine" uses a genetic algorithm to train a simple three layer feed-Forward network to work as a cosine-function. This task is very difficult to train for a backprop algorithm while the genetic algorithm produces good results. The second one called "vartop" is developing a Neural Network to perform the XOR-function. This is done with two genetic algorithms, the first one develops the topology of the network, the second one adjusts the weights.
