نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an improved co-evolution genetic algorithm (ICGA), which uses the methodology of game theory to solve the mode deception and premature convergence problem. In ICGA, groups become different players in the game. Mutation operator is designed to simulate the situation in the evolutionary stable strategy. Information transfer mode is added to ICGA to provide greater decision-making space. ICGA is used to solve large-scale deceptive problems and an optimal control problem. Results of numerical tests validate the algorithm’s excellent performance.

An improved genetic algorithm for multidimensional optimization of precedence-constrained production planning and scheduling
Integration of production planning and scheduling is a class of problems commonly found in manufacturing industry. This class of problems associated with precedence constraint has been previously modeled and optimized by the authors, in which, it requires a multidimensional optimization at the same time: what to make, how many to make, where to make and the order to make. It is a combinatorial,...
متن کاملAn optimization technique for vendor selection with quantity discounts using Genetic Algorithm
Vendor selection decisions are complicated by the fact that various conflicting multi-objective factors must be considered in the decision making process. The problem of vendor selection becomes still more compli-cated with the inclusion of incremental discount pricing schedule. Such hard combinatorial problems when solved using meta heuristics produce near optimal solutions. This paper propose...
متن کاملA new metaheuristic genetic-based placement algorithm for 2D strip packing
Given a container of fixed width, infinite height and a set of rectangular block, the 2D-strip packing problem consists of orthogonally placing all the rectangles such that the height is minimized. The position is subject to confinement of no overlapping of blocks. The problem is a complex NP-hard combinatorial optimization, thus a heuristic based on genetic algorithm is proposed to solve it. I...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Genetic Algorithm for Advertising Time Allocation Problems
Commercial advertising is the main source of income for TV channels and allocation of advertising time slots for maximizing broadcasting revenues is the major problem faced by TV channel planners. In this paper, the problem of scheduling advertisements on prime-time of a TV channel is considered. The problem is formulated as a multi-unit combinatorial auction based mathematical model. This is a...
متن کاملOptimization of profit and customer satisfaction in combinatorial production and purchase model by genetic algorithm
Optimization of inventory costs is the most important goal in industries. But in many models, the constraints are considered simple and relaxed. Some actual constraints are to consider the combinatorial production and purchase models in multi-products environment. The purpose of this article is to improve the efficiency of inventory management and find the economic order quantity and economic p...
متن کاملAn Effective Genetic Algorithm for Solving the Multiple Traveling Salesman Problem
The multiple traveling salesman problem (MTSP) involves scheduling m > 1 salesmen to visit a set of n > m nodes so that each node is visited exactly once. The objective is to minimize the total distance traveled by all the salesmen. The MTSP is an example of combinatorial optimization problems, and has a multiplicity of applications, mostly in the areas of routing and scheduling. In this paper,...
