Harmony Search and Cellular Automata in Spatial Optimization

نویسنده

  • Epaminondas Sidiropoulos
چکیده

The combined optimization problem of resource production and allocation is considered. The spatial character of the problem is emphasized and cellular modeling is introduced. First a new enhanced harmony search algorithm is applied combined with cellular concepts. Then another new approach is presented involving a cellular automaton combined with harmony search. This second approach renders solutions with greater compactness, a desirable characteristic in spatial optimization. The two algorithms are compared and discussed.

SYMBIOTIC ORGANISMS SEARCH AND HARMONY SEARCH ALGORITHMS FOR DISCRETE OPTIMIZATION OF STRUCTURES

In this work, a new hybrid Symbiotic Organisms Search (SOS) algorithm introduced to design and optimize spatial and planar structures under structural constraints. The SOS algorithm is inspired by the interactive behavior between organisms to propagate in nature. But one of the disadvantages of the SOS algorithm is that due to its vast search space and a large number of organisms, it may trap i...

Improved Frog Leaping Algorithm Using Cellular Learning Automata

In this paper, a new algorithm which is the result of the combination of cellular learning automata and frog leap algorithm (SFLA) is proposed for optimization in continuous, static environments.At the proposed algorithm, each memeplex of frogs is placed in a cell of cellular learning automata. Learning automata in each cell acts as the brain of memeplex, and will determine the strategy of moti...

SHAPE OPTIMIZATION OF STRUCTURES BY MODIFIED HARMONY SEARCH

The main aim of the present study is to propose a modified harmony search (MHS) algorithm for size and shape optimization of structures. The standard harmony search (HS) algorithm is conceptualized using the musical process of searching for a perfect state of the harmony. It uses a stochastic random search instead of a gradient search. The proposed MHS algorithm is designed based on elitism. In...

DISCRETE SIZE AND DISCRETE-CONTINUOUS CONFIGURATION OPTIMIZATION METHODS FOR TRUSS STRUCTURES USING THE HARMONY SEARCH ALGORITHM

Many methods have been developed for structural size and configuration optimization in which cross-sectional areas are usually assumed to be continuous. In most practical structural engineering design problems, however, the design variables are discrete. This paper proposes two efficient structural optimization methods based on the harmony search (HS) heuristic algorithm that treat both discret...
