An Improved Genetic Algorithm for the Optimization of Composite Structures
There are many diverse applications that are mathematically modelled in terms of mixed discrete-continuous variables. The optimization of these models is typically difficult due to their combinatorial nature and potential existence of multiple local minima in the search space. Genetic algorithms (GA...
