Abstract Creation ofaircraft with aminimum weight Optimal (minimumtime) journeys for space missions Numerical techniquesare the mos tsignificantgeneri capproachtoo ptimization. Numerical methods relyonite ratively producing aseries of solutions that are improved with increasing the iterations. When some of the convergenceconditionsaremet, theprocedureisended.Heuristicandmeta-heuristicalgorithmsarekindofnumericalmethods.They can easily be applied to many problems.Al though theycannot guaranteeto find the optimalglobal solution, they canoften find asufficient lygoods olutionina small amoun to ftime. |
