Termination

This generational process is repeated until a termination condition has been reached. Common terminating conditions are

• A solution is found that satisfies minimum criteria
  
• Fixed number of generations reached
  
  
• Allocated budget (computation time/money) reached
  
• The highest ranking solution's fitness is reaching or has reached a plateau such that successive iterations no longer produce better results Manual inspection
  
• Combinations of the above
