Abstract :
In this paper a hybrid algorithm based on exploration power of the Genetic algorithms and
exploitation capability of Nelder Mead simplex is presented for global optimization of multivariable
functions. Some modifications are imposed on genetic algorithm to improve its
capability and efficiency while being hybridized with Simplex method. Benchmark test
examples of structural optimization with a large number of variables and constraints are
chosen to show the robustness of the algorithm.
