Engineering design increasingly uses computer simulation models coupled with optimization algorithms to find the best design that meets the customer constraints within a time con...
This paper presents an improved version of a simple evolution strategy (SES) to solve global nonlinear optimization problems. As its previous version, the approach does not require...
Abstract. Optimization problems constrained by nonlinear partial differential equations have been the focus of intense research in scientific computing lately. Current methods for...

We propose three distance measures for genetic search space. One is a distance measure in the population space that is useful for understanding the working mechanism of genetic al...
A parameter-less adaptive penalty scheme for steady-state genetic algorithms applied to constrained optimization problems is proposed. For each constraint, a penalty parameter is a...
