Application of Genetic Algorithm in Multi-objective Optimization

1.3 Organization of the Thesis:
The thesis is organized in the following five chapters:
Chapter 1: In Chapter 1, the introduction, objectives of the thesis and limitation are
discussed.
Chapter 2: Relevant theoretical background is described in this chapter which covers the
basic concept of optimization, single and multi-objective optimization, classical and
evolutionary methods of solving optimization problems, fundamentals of GAs, application
of GAs in constrained optimization and structural optimization problems etc. This chapter
provides a brief idea about the contextual reasoning of the thesis.
Chapter 3: The methodology to carry on the work is discussed in this chapter.
Chapter 4: The results obtained from the observation are illustrated and analyzed here.
Chapter 5: Based on the findings, the conclusion of the work will be abridged and future
scope of the work will be discussed.
