Penalty Function Methods for Constrained Optimization with Genetic Algorithms

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.
