Based on a genetic algorithm, we have solved in this paper the problem of finding the parameters of optical Gaussian pulses which make their efficient nonlinear combining possible in one of the peripheral cores of a 7-core hexagonal fibre. Two approaches based on individual selection of peak powers and field phases of the pulses launched into the fibre are considered. Finally, the found regimes of Gaussian pulse combining open up new possibilities for the development of devices for controlling optical radiation.
