In optimization (a branch of mathematics), a candidate solution is a member of a set of possible solutions to a given problem. A candidate solution does not have to be a likely or reasonable solution to the problem. The space of all candidate solutions is called the feasible region or the feasible area.

In the case of the genetic algorithm, the candidate solutions are the individuals in the population being evolved by the algorithm.
