This paper presents a multi-objective and multi-service location-allocation model with capacity planning to design a healthcare facilities network through considering a referral system. Therefore, a mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model containing two objective functions is proposed. The first objective function is  relates to minimization of total opening cost, minimization of tota...

In general, Multi-objective Evolutionary Algorithms do not guarantee find solutions in the Pareto-optimal set. We propose a new approach for solving decomposable deceptive multi-objective problems that can find all solutions of the Pareto-optimal set. Basically, the proposed approach starts by decomposing the problem into subproblems and, then, combining the found solutions. The resultant appro...

This dissertation presents multi-objective multi-task learning, a new learning framework. Given a fixed sequence of tasks, the learned hypothesis space must minimize multiple objectives. Since these objectives are often in conflict, we cannot find a single best solution, so we analyze a set of solutions. We first propose and analyze a new learning principle, empirically efficient learning. From...

Heuristic optimizers are an important tool in academia and industry, and their performance-optimizing configuration requires a significant amount of expertise. As the proper configuration of algorithms is a crucial aspect in the engineering of heuristic algorithms, a significant research effort has been dedicated over the last years towards moving this step to the computer and, thus, make it au...

Resource allocation is the optimal distribution in a limited number of resources available for certain activities. The large activities requires exponentially multiplying computation cost. Therefore, resource problem known as NP-Hard literature. In this study, multi-objective binary artificial bee colony algorithm has been proposed solving problems. benefited from robust structure and easy impl...

In this paper, we are concerned with a nondifferentiable multiobjective programming problem with inequality constraints. We introduce four new classes of generalized convex functions by combining the concepts of weak strictly pseudoinvex, strong pseudoinvex, weak quasi invex, weak pseudoinvex and strong quasi invex functions in Aghezzaf and Hachimi [Numer. Funct. Anal. Optim. 22 (2001) 775], d-...
