Hybrid improved genetic algorithm for the estimation of biodegradation kinetics parameter

A hybrid estimation method is presented to estimate the kinetics parameter of biodegradation, which includes that a properly Improved Genetic Algorithm (IGA) automatically generates initial parameter estimations for the local optimization method - Gauss-Newton method. The physiological and biochemical factors adjusting of the microorganisms to adapt various circumstances result in the large variation of the kinetics parameters involved in the …
