Developing Adaptive Differential Evolution as a New Evolutionary Algorithm, Application in Optimization of Chemical Processes

A New Multi-objective Evolutionary Algorithm: Neighborhood Exploring Evolution Strategy

This paper proposes a new multi-objective evolutionary algorithm, called neighborhood exploring evolution strategy (NEES). This approach incorporates the idea of neighborhood exploration together with other techniques commonly used in the multi-objective evolutionary optimization literature (namely, non-dominated sorting and diversity preservation mechanisms). This idea of the proposed approach...

A New Differential Evolution Algorithm with Alopex-Based Local Search

Differential evolution (DE), as a class of biologically inspired and meta-heuristic techniques, has attained increasing popularity in solving many real world optimization problems. However, DE is not always successful. It can easily get stuck in a local optimum or an undesired stagnation condition. This paper proposes a new DE algorithm Differential Evolution with Alopex-Based Local Search (DEA...

Investigating Zone Pricing in a Location-Routing Problem Using a Variable Neighborhood Search Algorithm

In this paper, we assume a firm tries to determine the optimal price, vehicle route and location of the depot in each zone to maximise its profit. Therefore, in this paper zone pricing is studied which contributes to the literature of location-routing problems (LRP). Zone pricing is one of the most important pricing policies that are prevalently used by many companies. The proposed problem is v...

A New Model for Email Spam Detection using Hybrid of Magnetic Optimization Algorithm with Harmony Search Algorithm

Unfortunately, among internet services, users are faced with several unwanted messages that are not even related to their interests and scope, and they contain advertising or even malicious content. Spam email contains a huge collection of infected and malicious advertising emails that harms data destroying and stealing personal information for malicious purposes. In most cases, spam emails con...
