Genetic algorithms (GAs) readily handle discrete problems, and can be made to generate many optima, as is presently illustrated for the case of design for minimum-weight stiffened panels with buckling constraints. The GA discrete design procedure proved superior to extant alternatives for both stiffened panels with cutouts and without cutouts. High computational costs are, however, associated with this discrete design approach at the current level of its development.
