Claim One:
1. In a computer controlled genetic algorithm method for providing non-deterministic solutions involving physical constraints comprising: generating an existing population of N solutions (chromosomes) to a problem, each solution (chromosome) including a set of values for a predetermined number, M of said physical constraints (genes); regenerating a next generation from said initial population by reproducing (P=% N) solutions through the application of a set of genetic operators to said N solutions (chromosomes); applying a weighted fitness function to said P solutions to fail and thereby discard a number of said P solutions; adding the undiscarded solutions to a number of existing solutions to provide the next generation of solutions; and after a plurality of said regenerations, selecting the solution having the highest fitness function value; the improvement comprising: counting the number of said regenerations for each solution; and changing said set of genetic operators for each solution after at least one predetermined number of said regenerations.
