Abstract: Abstract This paper aims to demonstrate that the initial population plays an important role in the convergence of genetic algorithms independently from the algorithm and the problem. Using a well-distributed sampling increases the robustness and avoids premature convergence. The observation is proved using MOGA-II and NSGA-II with different sampling methods. This result is particularly important whenever the optimization involves time-consuming functions.
