Abstract:

In this paper a hybrid algorithm based on exploration power of the Genetic algorithms and exploitation capability of Nelder Mead simplex is presented for global optimization of multi-variable functions. Some modifications are imposed on genetic algorithm to improve its capability and efficiency while being hybridized with Simplex method. Benchmark test examples of structural optimization with a large number of variables and constraints are chosen to show the robustness of the algorithm.

Hybrid Simulated Annealing and Nelder-mead Algorithm for Solving Large-scale Global Optimization Problems

This paper presents a new algorithm for solving large scale global optimization problems based on hybridization of simulated annealing and Nelder-Mead algorithm. The new algorithm is called simulated Nelder-Mead algorithm with random variables updating (SNMRVU). SNMRVU starts with an initial solution, which is generated randomly and then the solution is divided into partitions. The neighborhood...

Nelder-Mead Simplex Optimization Routine for Large-Scale Problems: A Distributed Memory Implementation

The Nelder-Mead simplex method is an optimization routine that works well with irregular objective functions. For a function of n parameters, it compares the objective function at the n + 1 vertices of a simplex and updates the worst vertex through simplex search steps. However, a standard serial implementation can be prohibitively expensive for optimizations over a large number of parameters. ...

Implementing the Nelder-Mead simplex algorithm with adaptive parameters

In this paper, we first prove that the expansion and contraction steps of the Nelder-Mead simplex algorithm possess a descent property when the objective function is uniformly convex. This property provides some new insights on why the standard Nelder-Mead algorithm becomes inefficient in high dimensions. We then propose an implementation of the Nelder-Mead method in which the expansion, contra...

A Hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization and Genetic Algorithm for Truss Structures with Discrete Variables

A new hybrid algorithm of Particle Swarm Optimization and Genetic Algorithm (PSOGA) is presented to get the optimum design of truss structures with discrete design variables. The objective function chosen in this paper is the total weight of the truss structure, which depends on upper and lower bounds in the form of stress and displacement limits. The Particle Swarm Optimization basically model...
