Constrained parameter optimisation: equality constraints
Robert Hinterding · 2002
Several methods have been proposed for handling constraints by evolutionary algorithms for parameter optimisation problems. These methods include those based on penalty functions, preservation of feasibility, decoders, repair algorithms, as well as some hybrid techniques. We investigate a new approach for handling equality constraints that adaptively controls the value of tolerance value /spl delta/ added to the equality constraints. The preliminary results show that the proposed technique works very well on selected test cases.
