An Estimation of Distribution Algorithm for solving the Knapsack problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
The knapsack problem, a NP-hard problem, has been solved by different ways during many years. However, its combinatorial nature is still interesting for many academics. In this paper, an Estimation of Distribution Algorithm is applied for solving the Knapsack problem. KEDA for simplicity is called. It contains a probabilistic model of type chain for sampling new offsprings to solve the problem. In addition, we use a Greedy Algorithm and a Genetic Algorithm to compare the performance of the KEDA algorithm. According to the experiments, the genetic algorithm and the KEDA provide good solutions, but the performance from this evolutionary algorithm was able to give better results.

Trip distribution deals with estimation of trips distributed among origins and destinations and is one of the important stages in transportation planning. Since in the real world, trip distribution models often have more than one objective, multi-objective models are developed to cope with a set of conflict goals in this area. In a proposed method of adapted non-dominated sorting algorithm (ANS...

This paper introduces a novel multi-objective evolutionary algorithm based on cat swarm optimizationalgorithm (EMCSO) and its application to solve a multi-objective knapsack problem. The multi-objective optimizers try to find the closest solutions to true Pareto front (POF) where it will be achieved by finding the less-crowded non-dominated solutions. The proposed method applies cat swarm optim...
