Abstract :
Recently, genetic algorithms have gained attention as a powerful method for solving combinatorial problems with discrete variables and discontinuous functions. The ability to treat discrete variables and complex functions without derivatives seems to be advantageous and promising for various practical problems, because most real planning, design and construction problems include discrete variables and quite complex and ambiguous evaluation functions
