Hello, I have an optimization problem with few hundreds of variables, half of them as integers, I have nonlinear constraints, but I couldn't use fmincon or patternsearch as I have intcon, so I stuck with GA,
the nonlinear constraints takes a lot of time and generations to be satisfied (200 to 300 generations, and increases as the population size increases) giving decreasing non realistic values for fitness function, and then the fitness function value jumps to the realistic range and the minimization process takes place,
my question is: Are there any way to speed up the nonlcon satisfying ? thanks
