Genetic algorithm to treat a superconducting magnet calculation as a magnetostatic inverse problem

An original method to compute a superconducting screen is considered. It is shown that this problem is equivalent to a magnetostatic inverse problem, which is solved using a genetic algorithm. This method is appropriate to superconducting films of any shape hecause only surface currents are to be considered for superconducting materials. To illustrate the method two examples are presented.
