Hello,

   I am new to the list here and I have a question.
   I am trying to solve a GA problem with has a
non-decomposable fitness function.
   Please do not tell me that it is impossible because
I have some ideas to get around it.
   If anyone has some experience with this situation
or some positive ideas I would be very appreciative.
   One idea that has been suggested by my professor is
to use a weighting function which puts more weight on
closer loci at first in order to force non-linearity
in the beginning.
   Another idea I have is to use messy algorithms.
   Thank you for any help that you can give.

Carl
