Application of a Hybrid Version of Nsga-ii for Multiobjective Dose Optimization in Brachytherapy
نویسندگان
چکیده
We compare the efficiency of the NSGA-II algorithm for the brachytherapy dose optimization problem with and without supporting solutions. A local search method enhances the efficiency of the algorithm. In comparison to a fast simulated annealing algorithm the supported hybrid NSGA-II algorithm provides much faster many non-dominated solutions. An archiving of all non-dominated solutions is useful for the many objectives problem and the corresponding very large Pareto front.

A Hybrid Evolutionary Algorithm for Multiobjective Anatomy Based Dose Optimization in HDR Brachytherapy
Multiple objectives must be considered in anatomy based dose optimization for high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy and a large number of parameters must be optimized to satisfy often competing objectives. For objectives expressed solely in terms of dose variances, deterministic gradient-based algorithms can be applied and a weighted sum approach is able to produce a representative set of non-domi...

The sewer layout in flat areas significantly influences the construction and operational costs as well as reliability of the network performance. To find an optimum design of sewer networks for flat areas, this study presents a multi-objective optimization problem with the objective functions of 1- the cost and 2- the reliability. The reliability criterion is defined as the effect of a clogging...
متن کاملMonitoring process variability: a hybrid Taguchi loss and multiobjective genetic algorithm approach
The common consideration on economic model is that there is knowledge about the risk of occurrence of an assignable cause and the various cost parameters that does not always adequately describe what happens in practice. Hence, there is a need for more realistic assumptions to be incorporated. In order to reduce cost penalties for not knowing the true values of some parameters, this paper aims ...
متن کاملA Fast Elitist Multiobjective Genetic Algorithm: Nsga-ii
NSGA ( [5]) is a popular non-domination based genetic algorithm for multiobjective optimization. It is a very effective algorithm but has been generally criticized for its computational complexity, lack of elitism and for choosing the optimal parameter value for sharing parameter σshare. A modified version, NSGAII ( [3]) was developed, which has a better sorting algorithm , incorporates elitism...
