   Hi,   
      
   I'm looking for an approach that uses a genetic algorithm but also   
   meets some constraints. Let's say, I've three parameters a,b,c   
   which all can have values between 0 and 100. I want to use a genetic   
   algorithm that finds the best combination for the values of a, b, c   
   with the constraint that the sum of all values is not larger than 200.   
      
   A normal GA would try to find a good solution, like a=b=c=100. But   
   this would violate the constraint of sum <= 200.   
      
   Do you know any approaches that are suitable for this task?   
      
   Regards,   
   Tim
