A Study of Order Based Genetic and Evolutionary Algorithms in Combinatorial Optimization Problems
نویسندگان
چکیده
In Genetic and Evolutionary Algorithms (GEAs) one is faced with a given number of parameters, whose possible values are coded in a binary alphabet. With Order Based Representations (OBRs) the genetic information is kept by the order of the genes and not by its value. The application of OBRs to the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) is a well known technique to the GEA community. In this work one intends to show that this coding scheme can be used as an indirect representation, where the chromosome is the input for the decoder. The behavior of the GEA’s operators is compared under benchmarks taken from the Combinatorial Optimization arena.

A Comparative Study of Four Evolutionary Algorithms for Economic and Economic-Statistical Designs of MEWMA Control Charts
The multivariate exponentially weighted moving average (MEWMA) control chart is one of the best statistical control chart that are usually used to detect simultaneous small deviations on the mean of more than one cross-correlated quality characteristics. The economic design of MEWMA control charts involves solving a combinatorial optimization model that is composed of a nonlinear cost function ...
متن کاملResearch of Blind Signals Separation with Genetic Algorithm and Particle Swarm Optimization Based on Mutual Information
Blind source separation technique separates mixed signals blindly without any information on the mixing system. In this paper, we have used two evolutionary algorithms, namely, genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization for blind source separation. In these techniques a novel fitness function that is based on the mutual information and high order statistics is proposed. In order to evalu...

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 کاملApproximate Pareto Optimal Solutions of Multi objective Optimal Control Problems by Evolutionary Algorithms
In this paper an approach based on evolutionary algorithms to find Pareto optimal pair of state and control for multi-objective optimal control problems (MOOCP)'s is introduced. In this approach, first a discretized form of the time-control space is considered and then, a piecewise linear control and a piecewise linear trajectory are obtained from the discretized time-control space using ...

A novel version of Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithms for solving continuous space problems is presented in this paper. The basic structure and concepts of the originally reported ACO are preserved and adaptation of the algorithm to the case of continuous space is implemented within the general framework. The stigmergic communication is simulated through considering certain direction vect...
