I'm trying to find the optimized mixture for a specific set of substances. Each of those substances have characteristics that I want to optimize in the mixture (some characteristics I want to minimize and others I want to maximize). But I can't have more than 50% (random value that will be set on running time) of one of those substances in the mixture.I thought about using Genetic Algorithm, but I'm not sure it's the best approach for this problem. Do you have any suggestions?Edit: it doesn't need to be a evolutionary algorithm.
