Abstract— Over the last years, interest in hybrid metaheuristics has risen considerably in the field of optimization. Combinations of methods such as evolutionary algorithms and...
This paper presents an adaptive genetic algorithm (GA) to solve the Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (VRPTW) to near optimal solutions. The algorithm employs a unique dec...
Many problems in practically all fields of science, engineering and technology involve global optimization. It becomes more and more important to develop the efficient global opti...
In this paper we propose to use a distance metric based on user-preferences to efficiently find solutions for many-objective problems. In a user-preference based algorithm a decis...
This paper presents a novel approach to solve the constrained unit commitment problem using Selective Self-Adaptive Ant System (SSAS) for improving search performance by automatic...
