Systems and methods for multi-objective heuristics with conditional genes

Systems and methods are provided to engage in multi-objective optimization where there may be potential solutions for evaluation (e.g., chromosomes) that each have one or more conditional genes. The value of each of the conditional genes in each of the chromosomes may be equivalent to one of a plurality of hidden genes in each of the chromosomes. The value of each of the conditional genes may be evaluated prior to determining objective values of each of the chromosomes. The objective values of each of the chromosomes may be used to evaluate the potential solutions embodied in the chromosomes and further drive to more optimized solutions. The use of the conditional genes in the chromosomes may reduce the amount of constraint violation checks that may need to be performed.
