AB -  This  paper  deals  with  an  alternative  approach  for  solving  the  PDE-constrained  optimization 
problems. For this purpose, the problem has been discretized with the help of finite difference method. Then 
the  reduced  problem  has  been  solved  by  advanced  real  coded  genetic  algorithm  with  ranking  selection, 
whole-arithmetic  crossover  and  non  uniform  mutation.  The  proposed  approach  has  been  illustrated  with  a 
numerical  example.  Finally,  to  test  the  performance  of  the  algorithm,  sensitivity  analyses  have  been 
performed on objective function values with respect to different parameters of genetic algorithm.
