The paper "Evolutionary Algorithms for Constrained Parameter Optimization Problems" by Zbigniew Michalewicz and Marc Schoenauer discusses the challenges and recent advancements in using evolutionary algorithms for solving nonlinear programming (NLP) problems with constraints. The authors highlight the difficulties in handling constraints, which have limited the effectiveness of evolutionary algorithms in this area. They survey several constraint-handling techniques, including methods based on preserving feasibility, penalty functions, and hybrid approaches. The paper also presents a set of eleven test cases to evaluate these methods and provides experimental results to illustrate their performance. The authors emphasize the importance of specialized operators and the need for algorithms to efficiently search the boundary of the feasible region, especially for problems with nonlinear equality constraints. They conclude by discussing the potential of evolutionary algorithms in constrained optimization and the need for further research to develop more effective methods.The paper "Evolutionary Algorithms for Constrained Parameter Optimization Problems" by Zbigniew Michalewicz and Marc Schoenauer discusses the challenges and recent advancements in using evolutionary algorithms for solving nonlinear programming (NLP) problems with constraints.
