Advanced Methods for Evolutionary Optimisation

چکیده
In this paper we present two advanced methods for evolutionary optimisation. One method is based on Parallel Genetic Algorithms. It is called Co-operating Populations with Different Evolution Behaviours (CoPDEB), and allows each population to exhibit a different evolution behaviour. Results from two problems show the advantage of using different evolution behaviour on each population. The other method concerns application of GAs on constrained optimisation problems. It is called the Varying Fitness Function (VFF) method and implements a fitness function with varying penalty terms, added to the objective function for penalising infeasible solutions, in order to assist the GA to easily locate the area of the global optimum. Simulation results on two real world problems show that the VFF method outperforms the classic static fitness function implementations.

متن کاملTheoretical Analysis of Stochastic Search Algorithms
Theoretical analyses of stochastic search algorithms, albeit few, have always existed since these algorithms became popular. Starting in the nineties a systematic approach to analyse the performance of stochastic search heuristics has been put in place. This quickly increasing basis of results allows, nowadays, the analysis of sophisticated algorithms such as populationbased evolutionary algori...

1. Abstract In the past decades evolutionary algorithms have been successfully applied to various design optimisation problems. It has been shown that the representation of the problem is crucial for a high performance of the method. One important aspect is the trade-off between the demands for a high geometric variability in shape generation and a minimum number of optimisation parameters. In ...
