“…So, for example, in [15,20,25,27] application of a genetic algorithm for optimization of hull design with the aim to minimize the total weight is described. In paper [14] the genetic algorithm is applied for general arrangement design, in [2,3,5,11,24,29] for optimization of ship parameters, in [4] for characterization of Ro-Ro ships, and in [9,12,16,28] -for ship hull form optimization.…”
