MEMOTS: a memetic algorithm integrating tabu search for combinatorial multiobjective optimization

Thibaut Lust, Jacques Teghem (2008)

RAIRO - Operations Research

Similarity:

We present in this paper a new multiobjective memetic algorithm scheme called MEMOX. In current multiobjective memetic algorithms, the parents used for recombination are randomly selected. We improve this approach by using a dynamic hypergrid which allows to select a parent located in a region of minimal density. The second parent selected is a solution close, in the objective space, to the first parent. A local search is then applied to the offspring. We experiment this scheme with...

Phenotypic evolution with a mutation based on symmetric α-stable distributions

Andrzej Obuchowicz, Przemysław Prętki (2004)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

Multidimensional Symmetric α-Stable (SαS) mutations are applied to phenotypic evolutionary algorithms. Such mutations are characterized by non-spherical symmetry for α<2 and the fact that the most probable distance of mutated points is not in a close neighborhood of the origin, but at a certain distance from it. It is the so-called surrounding effect (Obuchowicz, 2001b; 2003b). For α=2, the SαS mutation reduces to the Gaussian one, and in the case of α=1, the Cauchy mutation is obtained....

Experiments with variants of ant algorithms.

Thomas Stützle, Sebastian Linke (2002)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Similarity:

A number of extensions of Ant System, the first ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithm, were proposed in the literature. These extensions typically achieve much improved computational results when compared to the original Ant System. However, many design choices of Ant System are left untouched including the fact that solutions are constructed, that real-numbers are used to simulate pheromone trails, and that explicit pheromone evaporation is used. In this article we experimentally...

Parameter Identification of a Fed-Batch Cultivation of S. Cerevisiae using Genetic Algorithms

Angelova, Maria, Tzonkov, Stoyan, Pencheva, Tania (2010)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Similarity:

Fermentation processes as objects of modelling and high-quality control are characterized with interdependence and time-varying of process variables that lead to non-linear models with a very complex structure. This is why the conventional optimization methods cannot lead to a satisfied solution. As an alternative, genetic algorithms, like the stochastic global optimization method, can be applied to overcome these limitations. The application of genetic algorithms is a precondition for...
