We address the no-wait k-stage flexible flowshop scheduling problem where there are m identical machines at each stage. The objectives are to schedule the available n jobs so that makespan and mean tardiness of n jobs are minimized. Sequence-dependent setup times are treated in this problem as one of the prominent practical assumptions. This problem is NP-hard, and therefore we present a new mu...

This paper presents NSGA-PINN, a multi-objective optimization framework for the effective training of physics-informed neural networks (PINNs). The proposed uses non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) to enable traditional stochastic gradient algorithms (e.g., ADAM) escape local minima effectively. Additionally, NSGA-II enables satisfying initial and boundary conditions encoded into ...

The crossover operator has always been regarded as the primary search operator in genetic algorithm (GA) because it exploits the available information from the population about the search space. Moreover, it is one of the components to consider for improving the behavior of the GA. To improve performance of GA multi parent crossover operators have been used. Multi parent crossover operators inv...

many real water resources optimization problems involve conflicting objectives. in this study, multiobjective genetic algorithm nsga-ii, has been developed for optimization the conjunctive use of surface water and groundwater resources and optimal management of supply and demand of agricultural water. here, optimal allocation of land and water resources to the dominant products in najaf abad pl...

In this paper we propose two novel approaches for solving constrained multi-objective optimization problems using steady state GAs. These methods are intended for solving real-world application problems that have many constraints and very small feasible regions. One method called Objective Exchange Genetic Algorithm for Design Optimization (OEGADO) runs several GAs concurrently with each GA opt...

Voltage stability has become an important issue in planning and operation of many power systems. Contingencies such as unexpected line outages in a stressed system may often result in voltage instability, which may lead to voltage collapse. This paper presents evolutionary algorithm techniques like Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA II) approach for solv...

Constellation design is a typical multiple peaks, multiple valleys and non-linear multi-objective optimization problem. How to design satellite constellation is one of the key sectors of research in the aerospace field. In this paper, in order to improve the global convergence and diversity performance of traditional constellation optimization algorithm, multi-parent arithmetic crossover and SB...

A method for computing minimum cost trajectory planning for industrial robot manipulators is presented. The objective function minimizes the cost function with the constraints being joint positions, velocities, jerks and torques by considering dynamic equations of motion. A clamped cubic spline is used to represent the trajectory. This is a non-linear constrained optimization problem. The probl...

Robotic systems, whether physical or virtual, must balance multiple objectives to operate effectively. Beyond performance metrics such as speed and turning radius, efficiency of movement, stability, and other objectives contribute to the overall functionality of a system. Optimizing multiple objectives requires algorithms that explore and balance improvements in each. In this paper, we evaluate...
