Abstract

We present the evolutionary algorithm that evolves the population of numerical solutions of the variational problem. The evolved solutions are model-independent, smooth, can have a predefined shape (if needed), and satisfy boundary or any other additional conditions (if imposed). To exemplify the performance of the proposed algorithm, we show how to solve the variational problem of searching for the spatially modulated distribution of the field of order parameter that gives a minimum to the Landau-type thermodynamic potential in the theory of ferroelectrics with incommensurate phases.
