Multi-Valued Function Chains in Evolutionary Algorithm

The choice of function modelling methods for the computer aided engineering/computer aided design tools is based on numerous criterions. The possibility to use evolutionary algorithms to optimisation in design electronic circuits arouses the large interest. Multi-valued function chains (MFC) as the representation of individuals in evolutionary algorithm is presented in the paper. The MFC gives possibility to describe circuit on different abstraction levels in CAD/E tools. It is especially good for the register transfer level. The connection of MFC with the evolutionary algorithm gives more extensive possibilities
