Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method of determining a cash flow plan corresponding to a plurality of payment obligations in accounts payable of a finance account while satisfying at least one objective, the computer-implemented method comprising: generating a first set of computer data representing a genome population having a first set of vectors, each vector in the first set of vectors representing the cash flow plan, numerically defining a payment date and a payment amount corresponding to each payment obligation in the accounts payable; obtaining a second set of computer data representing a plurality of objectives with respect to the cash flow plan, the objectives including maximizing a minimum daily cash on hand in the finance account and each objective associated with a weight indicating the importance of the objective; and modifying the first set of computer data representing the genome population by use of a genetic algorithm, including: wherein each vector in the first set of vectors comprises a plurality of alleles each including a plurality of bits, and generating a first set of computer data representing a genome population having a first set of vectors comprises:
