[ase-users] Particle_mutations in GA

Hi Steen.

We often meet a situation, when genetic algorithm can't achieve the most
stable geometry.
So, we think about moving only part of atoms in particle or deprecating
some geometries for improving convergence.
The first way seems a little bit easy. In this case we must change random
operations to operations with proper indexes.

For example, we have 55 atoms in particle. Icosahedron is the most stable
geometry in this case. But the most statistically preferable geometry is
the geometry with one atom on the face. It is a simple case and it can be
solved by hand. But there are a lot of situations which are not so clear as
this one.

Best regards,
Alexander
