Several issues regarding development of highly accelerated and efficient Evolutionary Algorithms (EA) for solving large, non-linear, constrained optimization problems are considered in this work. In particular, we briefly present here advances in development of already proposed acceleration techniques, including smoothing and balancing, adaptive step-by-step mesh refinement, as well as a’posteriori error analysis and related techniques. Our most recent research has been focused mainly on searching of efficient combination of the proposed techniques and their parameters, as well as on development of some new concepts based on estimation of the convergence point of population. The improved EA-based approach provides significant speed-up of solution process and/or possibility of solving such large problems, when the standard EA methods fail.
