ABSTRACT This paper proposes a new Multi-Objective Equilibrium Optimizer (MOEO) to handle complex optimization problems, including real-world engineering design problems. The (EO) is recently reported physics-based metaheuristic algorithm, and it has been inspired by the models used predict equilibrium state dynamic state. A similar procedure utilized in MOEO combining different target search s...

A decision making process requires the values of conflicting objectives for alternatives and the selection of the best alternative according to the needs of decision makers. Multi-objective optimization methods may provide solution for this selection. In this paper it is aimed to present the laptop selection problem based on MOORA plus full multiplicative form (MULTIMOORA) and multi-objective o...

in this paper, we considered solving approaches to flexible job shop problems. makespan is not a good evaluation criterion with overlapping in operations assumption. accordingly, in addition to makespan, we used total machine work loading time and critical machine work loading time as evaluation criteria. as overlapping in operations is a practical assumption in chemical, petrochemical, and gla...

In this paper, a new method based on genetic-fuzzy algorithm for multi-objective optimization is proposed. This method is successfully applied to several multi-objective optimization problems. Two examples are presented: the first example is the optimization of two nonlinear mathematical functions and the second one is the design of PI controller for control of an induction motor drive supplie...

High amounts of waste paper are disposed of every year in Iran posing the health hazard and environmental damages instead of being recovered. Collection, recovery and proper disposal of waste paper without damaging the environment need to design an efficient closed-loop supply chain network. The main objective of this paper is introducing a bi-objective, multi-echelon, multi-product and single-...
