            Abstract : 
In this paper, the mind evolutionary computation (MEC) was applied to solve the constrained optimization problems. First, several concepts are presented and a valid method to handle the constraints is developed based on those concepts. After that, according to the features of the constrained problems, the ´similartaxis´ and dissimilation operators in MEC are redesigned in details. Finally, the simulation results for the nonlinear constrained problem show the effectiveness of the algorithm in solving the constrained problems.
