چکیده

Several metrics are used in empirical studies to explore the mechanisms of convergence of genetic algorithms. The metric is designed to measure the consistency of an arbitrary ranking of hyperplanes in a partition with respect to a target string. Walsh coeecients can be calculated for small functions in order to characterize sources of linear and nonlinear interactions. A simple deception measure is also developed to look closely at the eeects of increasing nonlinearity of functions. Correlations between the metric and deception measure are discussed and relationships between and convergence behavior of a simple genetic algorithm are studied over large sets of functions with varying degrees of nonlinearity.

Hyperplane Ranking in Simple Genetic Algorithms

We examine the role of hyperplane ranking during genetic search by developing a metric for measuring the degree of ranking that exists with respect to static hyperplane averages taken directly from the function, as well as the dynamic ranking of hyperplanes during genetic search. The metric applied to static rankings subsumes the concept of deception but the metric provides a more precise chara...

Data Envelopment Analysis, Genetic Algorithm, Hyperplane, Efficient Unit

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is actually to obtain the efficiency using inputs and outputs, which can determine efficient and inefficient units with the help of performance calculations such that the efficiency for efficient DMUs is one and less than one for inefficient DMUs [1]. In some cases, the ranking of the decision-making units are not important for decision-makers, and they are only ...

Modeling of measurement error in refractive index determination of fuel cell using neural network and genetic algorithm

Abstract: In this paper, a method for determination of refractive index in membrane of fuel cell on basis of three-longitudinal-mode laser heterodyne interferometer is presented. The optical path difference between the target and reference paths is fixed and phase shift is then calculated in terms of refractive index shift. The measurement accuracy of this system is limited by nonlinearity erro...

A full ranking method using integrated DEA models and its application to modify GA for finding Pareto optimal solution of MOP problem

This paper uses integrated Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models to rank all extreme and non-extreme efficient Decision Making Units (DMUs) and then applies integrated DEA ranking method as a criterion to modify Genetic Algorithm (GA) for finding Pareto optimal solutions of a Multi Objective Programming (MOP) problem. The researchers have used ranking method as a shortcut way to modify GA to d...

Robot Path Planning Using Cellular Automata and Genetic Algorithm

In path planning Problems, a complete description of robot geometry, environments and obstacle are presented; the main goal is routing, moving from source to destination, without dealing with obstacles. Also, the existing route should be optimal. The definition of optimality in routing is the same as minimizing the route, in other words, the best possible route to reach the destination. In most...
