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.read more

Test and Validation of the Surrogate-Based, Multi-Objective GOMORS Algorithm against the NSGA-II Algorithm in Structural Shape Optimization
TL;DR: The results show that the GOMORS outperforms the NSGA-II vastly regarding the number of function calls and Pareto-efficient results without the feasibility constraint, and the authors provide a clear recommendation towards the surrogate-based GomORS for costly and multi-objective evaluations.
Mendelian and Non-Mendelian Ancestral Repair for Constrained Evolutionary Optimisation
TL;DR: This thesis adapts this novel genetic repair strategy to an EA to solve two benchmark constraint based problems specifically permutation problems as this category of problem are often recognised as the most problematic problems for the canonical EA to deal with and shows that under biologically inspired conditions, the non-Mendelian repair strategy continues to outperform its Mendelian counterpart.
