Genetic algorithm: child out of constraints
1 view (last 30 days)

I have set the linear inequality constraints of the GA in a way that each gene is smaller than the next one, eg x1<x2<x3...<xn but in some cases i see that this rule is not followed. Although i have read the relative documentation i am not sure if the genetic algorithm allows chromosomes out of the constraints and if so, how can i eliminate these chromosomes.

If your problem is that the inequalities are not being strictly satisfied, but are being satisfied within sqrt(TolCon), then I am afraid that you are asking too much. The genetic algorithm does not satisfy linear inequalities strictly, but only within a certain numeric tolerance.
You can set a smaller value of TolCon if you like, but do not set it smaller than eps, or, in my opinion, even 100*eps.
