The solution strategy based on modified genetic algorithms for process system engineering

Many problems are in the mixed integer non linear program(MINLP) category in the processing system synthesis and they almost are singular, multi peaks and rigid. There is not effective means to get their stable global optimal. In this paper, genetic algorithms(GAs)+feasible domain condensing was proposed for solving MINLP to get a global optimal or near global optimal solution. The penalty function was combined with genetic reproduction to overcome the drawback of genetic algorithms searching inefficiently in feasible domain boundary. Some numerical experiments of MINLP test functions and the optimization problems of system synthesis, which belong to MINLP domain, were illustrated the efficiency of that method. In addition, this method was also applied to solve several optimization problems on process system engineering and the results were useful and efficient.
