A hybrid method called a flexible tolerance genetic algorithm (FTGA) is proposed in this paper to solve nonlinear, multimodal and multi-constraint optimization problems. This method provides a new hybrid strategy that organically merges a flexible tolerance method (FTM) into an adaptive genetic algo...
