Abstract
A method of combinatorial multimodal optimization uses a genetic algorithm to find simultaneous global optimal solutions to combinatorial problems. Each individual within the population is associated not only with a fitness value but with a fitness vector, using which the persistence of all of the best individuals into the next generation can be guaranteed. Phenotype as well as genotype analysis is an integral part of the method.
