چکیده

Most global constraints maintain a support for their filtering algorithm, namely a tuple consistent with both the constraint and current domains. However, this highly valuable information is rarely used outside of the constraint. In this paper we define the TV-Break Packing problem (TVBP) and we propose a generic hybridization scheme that we test on this real-world application. The principle of this Branch and Move approach is to use the support of the main global constraint of the problem as a guide for the branching strategy. The accuracy of this oracle is enhanced by local search improvements of this support tuple at each node of the search tree.

A Differential Evolution and Spatial Distribution based Local Search for Training Fuzzy Wavelet Neural Network

Abstract   Many parameter-tuning algorithms have been proposed for training Fuzzy Wavelet Neural Networks (FWNNs). Absence of appropriate structure, convergence to local optima and low speed in learning algorithms are deficiencies of FWNNs in previous studies. In this paper, a Memetic Algorithm (MA) is introduced to train FWNN for addressing aforementioned learning lacks. Differential Evolution...

Including Soft Global Constraints in DCOPs

In the centralized context, global constraints have been essential for the advancement of constraint reasoning. In this paper we propose to include soft global constraints in distributed constraint optimization problems (DCOPs). Looking for efficiency, we study possible decompositions of global constraints, including the use of extra variables. We extend the distributed search algorithm BnB-ADO...

OPTIMIZATION OF SKELETAL STRUCTURES USING IMPROVED GENETIC ALGORITHM BASED ON PROPOSED SAMPLING SEARCH SPACE IDEA

In this article, by Partitioning of designing space, optimization speed is tried to be increased by GA. To this end, designing space search is done in two steps which are global search and local search. To achieve this goal, according to meshing in FEM, firstly, the list of sections is divided to specific subsets. Then, intermediate member of each subset, as representative of subset, is defined...

Design and Implementation of a Graph-Based Constraint Model for Local Search

Local search has during the last years evolved into a powerful technique for solving large combinatorial problems, often outperforming complete algorithms. The classical approach for generic constraint solving in local search is to provide a set of primitive constraints, which in turn can be used to form more complex combinatorial structures. Unfortunately, for several combinatorial structures ...

Controller Placement in Software Defined Network using Iterated Local Search

Software defined network is a new computer network architecture who separates controller and data layer in network devices such as switches and routers. By the emerge of software defined networks, a class of location problems, called controller placement problem, has attracted much more research attention. The task in the problem is to simultaneously find optimal number and location of controll...
