چکیده

Several inverse problems exist in the atmospheric sciences that are computationally costly when using traditional gradient based methods. Unfortunately, many standard evolutionary algorithms do not perform well on these problems. This paper investigates why the temperature inversion problem is so difficult for heuristic search. We show that algorithms imposing smoothness constraints find more competitive solutions. Additionally, a new algorithm is presented that rapidly finds approximate solutions.

Non-linear stochastic inversion of 2D gravity data using evolution strategy (ES)

In the current work, a 2D non-linear inverse problem of gravity data is solved using the evolution strategies (ES) to find the thickness of a sedimentary layer in a deep-water situation where a thick sedimentary layer usually exists. Such problems are widely encountered in the early stages of petroleum explorations where potential field data are used to find an initial estimate of the basin geo...

GENETIC AND TABU SEARCH ALGORITHMS FOR THE SINGLE MACHINE SCHEDULING PROBLEM WITH SEQUENCE-DEPENDENT SET-UP TIMES AND DETERIORATING JOBS

 This paper introduces the effects of job deterioration and sequence dependent set- up time in a single machine scheduling problem. The considered optimization criterion is the minimization of the makespan (Cmax). For this purpose, after formulating the mathematical model, genetic and tabu search algorithms were developed for the problem. Since population diversity is a very important issue in ...

A heuristic approach for multi-stage sequence-dependent group scheduling problems

We present several heuristic algorithms based on tabu search for solving the multi-stage sequence-dependent group scheduling (SDGS) problem by considering minimization of makespan as the criterion. As the problem is recognized to be strongly NP-hard, several meta (tabu) search-based solution algorithms are developed to efficiently solve industry-size problem instances. Also, two different initi...

Comparison of particle swarm optimization and tabu search algorithms for portfolio selection problem

Using Metaheuristics models and Evolutionary Algorithms for solving portfolio problem has been considered in recent years.In this study, by using particles swarm optimization and tabu search algorithms we  optimized two-sided risk measures . A standard exact penalty function transforms the considered portfolio selection problem into an equivalent unconstrained minimization problem. And in final...
