Abstract
Sectorisation refers to dividing a whole into smaller parts, the sectors, to facilitate an activity or achieve some goals.The paper proposes a new matrix form genetic encoding system, called matrix form binary grouping (MFBG), specifically designed for sectorisation and related problems.In MFBG representation, the columns and rows represent sectors and nodes, respectively.As a solution procedure, we followed NSGA-II by contemplating adapted measures for three commonly used criteria (equilibrium, compactness, contiguity) for sectorisation problems.The performance of the MFBG within the NSGA-II is tested from two perspectives: 1) through several experiments on the set of instances;
