about genetic algorithm

I wonder refer to what theses genetic algorithm using in MATLAB.

also, at genetic algorithm in MATLAB,

I don't know how to express discrete variable in MATLAB. So, please reply me

lastly, the following is these related genetic algorithm.

"Genetic algorithms in optimization problems with discrete and integer design variables", C.Y.LIN and P.HAJELA, 1992,vol.19 pp.309-327

as this paper, if i must use MATLAB, I wonder how express at MATLAB.

The topic Mixed Integer ga Optimization adderesses this kind of question. For an example that uses integer variables for non-integer discrete optimization, see Solving a Mixed Integer Engineering Design Problem Using the Genetic Algorithm. For details on using the genetic algorithm in MATLAB®, see ga and the Genetic Algorithm topic.
