Application of Pareto strength index based on genetic algorithms to solving groundwater simulation-optimization models

Groundwater simulation-optimization problems are often constrained optimization problems.In this paper,a modified real-coded genetic algorithm is introduced to handle these groundwater simulation-optimization problems by combining a minimal generation gap model and the Pareto strength index procedure.The routine weighing the combination pattern of an objective function and the degree violating the constraints are altered to vector weighing the combination pattern.Thus the original constrained op...
