TLDR
These penalty-based methods for handling constraints in Genetic Algorithms are presented and discussed and their strengths and weaknesses are discussed.Abstract:
Genetic Algorithms are most directly suited to unconstrained optimization. Application of Genetic Algorithms to constrained optimization problems is often a challenging effort. Several methods have been proposed for handling constraints. The most common method in Genetic Algorithms to handle constraints is to use penalty functions. In this paper, we present these penalty-based methods and discuss their strengths and weaknesses.read more

Data-Driven Supervisory Control of Indirect Adiabatic Cooling Systems
TL;DR: A model-free control approach is used for the efficient management of an indirect adiabatic cooling system, which utilizes fresh air, and the best system operative conditions are determined by means of an Extremum Seeking Control scheme, whose effectiveness and performance are evaluated by using a Matlab-based computer room air conditioning simulation environment.

Improving MSHE Design Procedure Using Genetic Algorithm and Reduced Number of Sections
TL;DR: In this paper, a new conceptual procedure for optimizing the entrance and exit points of each stream of a MSHE is proposed minimizing the number of sections required for a given duty, and GA is used to find the suitable fin type for making the heat exchanger dimensions consistent with manufacturing needs and the fully utilization of allowable pressure drops.
