## Description

The JEGA library[18] contains two global optimization methods. The first is a Multi-objective Genetic Algorithm (MOGA) which performs Pareto optimization. The second is a Single-objective Genetic Algorithm (SOGA) which performs optimization on a single objective function. Both methods support general constraints and a mixture of real and discrete variables. The JEGA library was written by John Eddy, currently a member of the technical staff in the System Readiness and Sustainment Technologies department at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque. These algorithms are accessed as `moga` and `soga` within Dakota.
