Abstract.
A nested genetic algorithm, including a genetic parameter level and a genetic implemented level, has been proposed and applied for resolving simulated overlapping spectra. Parameters of genetic algorithms (GA) were optimized by use of the genetic parameter level. The number of overlapping peaks was, moreover, detected simultaneously. Parameters of individual peaks in multiplets were computed by use of the genetic implemented level. It is obvious that the parameters of GA can be optimized and the number of overlapping peaks can be detected by itself. The optimization results are less affected than in traditional curve-fitting by the initial values of the parameters of the overlapping bands. Consequently, the nested genetic algorithm is superior to the curve-fitting technique for resolution of overlapping peaks.
