Lp-Norm based algorithm for multi-objective distributed constraint optimization

In this paper, we develop a novel algorithm which finds a subset of Pareto front of a Multi-Objective Distributed Constraint Optimization Problem. This algorithm utilizes the Lp-norm method, pseudo-tree, and Dynamic Programming technique. Furthermore, we show that this Lp-norm based algorithm can only guarantee to find a Pareto optimal solution, when we employ L1-norm (Manhattan norm).

Optimal Multi-Objective Planning of Distribution System with Distributed Generation

This paper presents a multi-objective formulation for optimal siting and sizing of distributed generation (DG) resources in distribution systems in order to minimize the cost of power losses and energy not supplied. The implemented technique is based on a genetic algorithm (GA) and weight method that employed to obtain the best compromise between these costs. Simulation results on 33-bus distri...

A Robust Optimization Methodology for Multi-objective Location-transportation Problem in Disaster Response Phase under Uncertainty

This paper presents a multi-objective model for location-transportation problem under uncertainty that has been developed to respond to crisis. In the proposed model, humanitarian aid distribution centers (HADC), the number and location of them, the amount of relief goods stored in distribution centers, the amount of relief goods sent to the disaster zone, the number of injured people transferr...

Distributed Multi-objective Multidisciplinary Design Optimization Algorithms

This work proposes multi-agent systems setting for concurrent engineering system design optimization and gradually paves the way towards examining graph theoretic constructs in the context of multidisciplinary design optimization problem. This paper adapts a cooridination strategy based on the well-known nearest neighbor rule and corresponding distributed constrained optimization method. The fl...
