Abstract

The consecutive meals planning is a combinatorial optimization problem that determines a meals plan in one period consisting of consecutive days. This paper proposes an evaluation function using a moving entropy for this problem. The function measures the appearance order of meal’s characteristics on the plan. In the numerical experiments, we apply a permutation GA to the problem. We show that our meals plan is a good solution with large variation of appearance order of meal’s characteristics for the consecutive meals planning.
