Abstract :
We present the first evolutionary approach using an age-controlled population model for solving the assignment problem on analog transistor arrays. Combined with a sophisticated data representation the decomposition of resistors and the assignment is solved simultaneously. Due to industrial needs the optimization characteristic is controllable by one single strategy variable.
