Constructing 1-rotational NRDFs through an Optimization Approach: New (46,9,8), (51,10,9) and (55,9,8)-NRBDs

چکیده
In this paper we formulate the problem of constructing 1-rotational near resolvable difference families as a combinatorial optimization problem where a global optimum corresponds to a desired difference family. Then, we develop an algorithm based on scatter search in conjunction with a tabu search to construct many of these difference families. In particular, we construct three new near resolvable difference families which lead to an equal number of new 1-rotational near resolvable block designs with parameters: (46,9,8), (51,10,9) and (55,9,8). Our results indicate that this conjunction outperforms both scatter search and tabu search.

A New Algorithm for Constructing the Pareto Front of Bi-objective Optimization Problems
Here, scalarization techniques for multi-objective optimization problems are addressed. A new scalarization approach, called unified Pascoletti-Serafini approach, is utilized and a new algorithm to construct the Pareto front of a given bi-objective optimization problem is formulated. It is shown that we can restrict the parameters of the scalarized problem. The computed efficient points provide...
متن کاملAn Approach to Reducing Overfitting in FCM with Evolutionary Optimization
Fuzzy clustering methods are conveniently employed in constructing a fuzzy model of a system, but they need to tune some parameters. In this research, FCM is chosen for fuzzy clustering. Parameters such as the number of clusters and the value of fuzzifier significantly influence the extent of generalization of the fuzzy model. These two parameters require tuning to reduce the overfitting in the...
