Parameter Adjustment for Genetic Algorithm for Two-Level Hierarchical Covering Location Problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper the two-level Hierarchical Covering Location Problem HCLP is considered. A new genetic algorithm for that problem is developed, including specific binary encoding with the new crossover and mutation operators that keep the feasibility of individuals. Modification that resolves the problem of frozen bits in genetic code is proposed and tested. Version of fine-grained tournament [5] was used as well as the caching GA technique [12] in order to improve computational performance. Genetic algorithm was tested and its parameters were adjusted on number of test examples and it performed well and proved robust in all cases. Results were verified by CPLEX.

The hub location problem is employed for many real applications, including delivery, airline and telecommunication systems and so on. This work investigates on hierarchical hub network in which a three-level network is developed. The central hubs are considered at the first level, at the second level, hubs are assumed which are allocated to central hubs and the remaining nodes are at the third ...
متن کاملDynamic Hub Covering Problem with Flexible Covering Radius
Abstract One of the basic assumptions in hub covering problems is considering the covering radius as an exogenous parameter which cannot be controlled by the decision maker. Practically and in many real world cases with a negligible increase in costs, to increase the covering radii, it is possible to save the costs of establishing additional hub nodes. Change in problem parameters during the pl...

P-hub maximal covering location problem is one of the most commonly used location- allocation problems. In this problem, the goal is to determine the best location for the hubs such that the covered demand is maximized by considering the predefined coverage radius. In classical hub problems, if the distance between the origin and destination is less than this radius, coverage is possible; other...
