Genetic Algorithm Terminal Constraints Based on Output

I am trying to use GA to minimize a single variable that will satisfy two terminal contraints.

Consider the function where alpha is a constant.

x is the single variable I am trying to minimze such that and .

I'm not sure how to define my constants for the GA function considering the constraints rely on the output of GA.

Hi,

You can define three functions , one function lets say 'fitness' function which contains the equation whose function handle need to be given to ga function and two other functions for phi(t) and h(t) which you will be calling from 'fitness' function

and you can pass the fitness function as a handle to ga function .

you can follow the below link for more information

hope it helps,

thanks.

Thanks for the response.

I'm still a little confused on how the termainl constraints are handled.

Thanks!
