Introduction {[Mainheadings] 11 point bold} Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are wildly used to solve nonlinear programming problems and many different GA based strategies have been developed recently to solve these problems. Liepins & Potter (1990) proposed the repairing strategy in which a non-feasible chromosome is taken and repaired to a feasible chromosome through a repairing procedure. Michalewicz et. al. (1996) developed the modifying genetic operations strategy in which specialized genetic operations are used to maintain the feasibility of chromosomes. {[MainText] 10 point through all the text} In this paper... {[Indent] indent 0.5 cm} 2. Problem formulation The general nonlinear programming problem for single criterion optimization is formulated as follows: Find x* = [x1*, x2*, ..., xN*] which will satisfy the K inequality constraints g k (x) 0 k = 1, 2, …, K {[Math] and the M equality constraints h m (x) = 0 m = 1, 2, …, M and minimize the objective function f(x) f(x*) = min f(x) indent 1.5 cm} (1) (2) (3) 2.1 Subtitles {[Subheadings] 10 point bold} Table 1 Results of the numerical example. {9 point, centered} Figure 1.
