Acknowledgements
The production of this Toolbox was made possible by a UK SERC grant on
Genetic Algorithms in Control Systems Engineering (GR/J17920). Many thanks
are due to Hartmut Pohlheim, a visiting researcher from the Technical University
Ilmenau, Germany, for the support for real-valued genetic algorithms and his hard
work in coding and revising many of the routines in this Toolbox. Thanks are also
due to Carlos Fonseca for providing the initial prototype for this Toolbox.
