I'm using the GA to select measurement points in a three-dimensional physics problem.
I can tell GA to select only N_points inside some specified plane above my problem simply as:
X.min = -10; X.max = 10; Y.min = -10; Y.max = 10; Z.min = 0; Z.max = 2;
lb = repmat([X.min Y.min Z.min],[1 N_points]);
ub = repmat([X.max Y.max Z.max],[1 N_points]);
Is it possible to instead set up constraints so points are only selected outside of some cube? For clarity, a physical example would be there exists volume which a measurement device cannot enter, so the problem searches for points external to that region.
Ideally, I would select points only within a hollow-cube: External to a specific volume, but extending to reasonable limits - thereby minimising the possible search space.
