A Genetic Algorithm for Multiobjective Hard Scheduling Optimization

A Genetic Algorithm for Multiobjective Structural Optimization

A genetic algorithm for multiobjective optimization is presented which tries to evolve an evenly distributed set of solutions belonging to the Pareto set by: (i) ranking the population according to nondomination properties; (ii) defining a filter to retain Pareto set solutions and (iii) using adequate operators: exclusion, addition and single-objective operator which improves the individuals fr...

A Micro-Genetic Algorithm for Multiobjective Optimization

An Elitist Genetic Algorithm for Multiobjective Optimization

Solving multiobjective engineering problems is a very difficult task due to, in general, in these class of problems, the objectives conflict across a high-dimensional problem space. In these problems, there is no single optimal solution, the interaction of multiple objectives gives rise to a set of efficient solutions, known as the Pareto-optimal solutions. During the past decade, Genetic Algor...

A Genetic Algorithm Developed for a Supply Chain Scheduling Problem

This paper concentrates on the minimization of total tardiness and earliness of orders in an integrated production and transportation scheduling problem in a two-stage supply chain. Moreover, several constraints are also considered, including time windows due dates, and suppliers and vehicles availability times. After presenting the mathematical model of the problem, a developed version of GA c...

A genetic algorithm approach for open-pit mine production scheduling

In an Open-Pit Production Scheduling (OPPS) problem, the goal is to determine the mining sequence of an orebody as a block model. In this article, linear programing formulation is used to aim this goal. OPPS problem is known as an NP-hard problem, so an exact mathematical model cannot be applied to solve in the real state. Genetic Algorithm (GA) is a well-known member of evolutionary algorithms...
