Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) A Circular Consecutive-k-out-of-n:F system consists of n components arranged along a circular path. This system fails, if and only if, at least k consecutive components fail. In this paper, we propose genetic algorithms for solving optimal component arrangement problem of Circular Consecutive-k-out-of-n:F system. We develop special ordinal representation schemes, i.e., it eliminates many identical arrangements produced from an identical arrangement by rotation or reversal, in addition to that, it is improved by using the characteristics of the problem. We compared the performance of the proposed GA and the GA just employs Grefenstette’s ordinal representation directly as the chromosome representation through some numerical experiments.
