Improving monarch butterfly optimization through simulated annealing strategy

Optimization by simulated annealing.

There is a deep and useful connection between statistical mechanics (the behavior of systems with many degrees of freedom in thermal equilibrium at a finite temperature) and multivariate or combinatorial optimization (finding the minimum of a given function depending on many parameters). A detailed analogy with annealing in solids provides a framework for optimization of the properties of very ...

Improving the Efficiency of Simulated Annealing Optimization through Detection of Productive Search

The popularity of simulated annealing for engineering design applications has grown in recent years, increasing the need for new techniques that improve algorithm performance. Simulated annealing is a time-consuming, iteration-intensive algorithm. One area of algorithm enhancement with high potential impact is the development of methods for improving the algorithm by reducing the amount of wast...

A Monarch Butterfly Optimization for the Dynamic Vehicle Routing Problem

The dynamic vehicle routing problem (DVRP) is a variant of the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) in which customers appear dynamically. The objective is to determine a set of routes that minimizes the total travel distance. In this paper, we propose a monarch butterfly optimization (MBO) algorithm to solve DVRPs, utilizing a greedy strategy. Both migration operation and the butterfly adjusting oper...
