<p>This study was conducted to develop solution algorithms for the edge-disjoint path problem with proportional path-costs in an undirected network with single source-destination pair. Edge-disjoint path problem arises in connectivity analysis, network flow problems, VLSI-design and variety of applications. The complexity of all the variants of the disjoint path problemsis NP-hard. We proposed two genetic algorithms which differ in solution representation.The performance of both algorithms tested on small, medium and large size complete graphs using different cost structures. As a result, genetic algorithm with priority-based encoding is shown to beinefficient, whereas genetic algorithm with variable-length path encoding is shown to be satisfactoryfor finding the edge-disjoint paths with proportional path-costs.<P>
