METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SOLVING AN OPTIMIZATION PROBLEM WITH DYNAMIC CONSTRAINTS

摘要

A method and system for solving an optimization problem comprising a plurality of dynamic constraints. A genetic algorithm is used to iteratively generate potential solutions to the problem. A constraint graph is used to model the plurality of dynamic constraints, and any potential solution that does not correspond to a connected subgraph of the constraint graph is infeasible and discarded. Real-time changes in dynamic constraints are incorporated by modification of the constraint graph between iterations of the genetic algorithm. An exemplary embodiment comprising the scheduling of air missions is presented.
