This paper shows how embedding a local search algorithm, such as the iterated linear programming (LP), in the multi-objective genetic algorithms (MOGAs) can lead to a reduction in the search space and then to the improvement of the computational efficiency of the MOGAs. In fact, when the optimization problem features both continuous real variables and discrete integer variables, the search space can be subdivided into two sub-spaces, related to the two kinds of variables respectively. The problem can then be structured in such a way that MOGAs can be used for the search within the sub-space of the discrete integer variables. For each solution proposed by the MOGAs, the iterated LP can be used for the search within the sub-space of the continuous real variables. An example of this hybrid algorithm is provided herein as far as water distribution networks are concerned. In particular, the problem of the optimal location of control valves for leakage attenuation is considered. In this framework, the MOGA NSGAII is used to search for the optimal valve locations and for the identification of the isolation valves which have to be closed in the network in order to improve the effectiveness of the control valves whereas the iterated linear programming is used to search for the optimal settings of the control valves. The application to two case studies clearly proves the reduction in the MOGA search space size to render the hybrid algorithm more efficient than the MOGA without iterated linear programming embedded. 相似文献

Applications of multi-objective genetic algorithms (MOGAs) in engineering optimization problems often require numerous function
calls. One way to reduce the number of function calls is to use an approximation in lieu of function calls. An approximation
involves two steps: design of experiments (DOE) and metamodeling. This paper presents a new approach where both DOE and metamodeling
are integrated with a MOGA. In particular, the DOE method reduces the number of generations in a MOGA, while the metamodeling
reduces the number of function calls in each generation. In the present approach, the DOE locates a subset of design points
that is estimated to better sample the design space, while the metamodeling assists in estimating the fitness of design points.
Several numerical and engineering examples are used to demonstrate the applicability of this new approach. The results from
these examples show that the proposed improved approach requires significantly fewer function calls and obtains similar solutions
compared to a conventional MOGA and a recently developed metamodeling-assisted MOGA. 相似文献

This paper presents a novel multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) based on the NSGA-II algorithm, which uses metamodels to determine optimal sampling locations for installing pressure loggers in a water distribution system (WDS) when parameter uncertainty is considered. The new algorithm combines the multi-objective genetic algorithm with adaptive neural networks (MOGA–ANN) to locate pressure loggers. The purpose of pressure logger installation is to collect data for hydraulic model calibration. Sampling design is formulated as a two-objective optimization problem in this study. The objectives are to maximize the calibrated model accuracy and to minimize the number of sampling devices as a surrogate of sampling design cost. Calibrated model accuracy is defined as the average of normalized traces of model prediction covariance matrices, each of which is constructed from a randomly generated sampling set of calibration parameter values. This method of calculating model accuracy is called the ‘full’ fitness model. Within the genetic algorithm search process, the full fitness model is progressively replaced with the periodically (re)trained adaptive neural network metamodel where (re)training is done using the data collected by calling the full model. The methodology was first tested on a hypothetical (benchmark) problem to configure the setting requirement. Then the model was applied to a real case study. The results show that significant computational savings can be achieved by using the MOGA–ANN when compared to the approach where MOGA is linked to the full fitness model. When applied to the real case study, optimal solutions identified by MOGA–ANN are obtained 25 times faster than those identified by the full model without significant decrease in the accuracy of the final solution. 相似文献

Obtaining a fullest possible representation of solutions to a multiobjective optimization problem has been a major concern in Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithms (MOGAs). This is because a MOGA, due to its very nature, can only produce a discrete representation of Pareto solutions to a multiobjective optimization problem that usually tend to group into clusters. This paper presents a new MOGA, one that aims at obtaining the Pareto solutions with maximum possible coverage and uniformity along the Pareto frontier. The new method, called an Entropy-based MOGA (or E-MOGA), is based on an application of concepts from the statistical theory of gases to a baseline MOGA. Two demonstration examples, the design of a two-bar truss and a speed reducer, are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of E-MOGA in comparison to the baseline MOGA. 相似文献

This paper presents some improvements to Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithms (MOGAs). MOGA modifies certain operators within the GA itself to produce a multiobjective optimization technique. The improvements are made to overcome some of the shortcomings in niche formation, stopping criteria and interaction with a design decision-maker. The technique involves filtering, mating restrictions, the idea of objective constraints, and detecting Pareto solutions in the non-convex region of the Pareto set. A step-by-step procedure for an improved MOGA has been developed and demonstrated via two multiobjective engineering design examples: (i) two-bar truss design, and (ii) vibrating platform design. The two-bar truss example has continuous variables while the vibrating platform example has mixed-discrete (combinatorial) variables. Both examples are solved by MOGA with and without the improvements. It is shown that MOGA with the improvements performs better for both examples in terms of the number of function evaluations. 相似文献

This paper explores the use of intelligent techniques to obtain optimum geometrical dimensions of a robot gripper. The optimization problem considered is a non-linear, complex, multi-constraint and multicriterion one. Three robot gripper configurations are optimized. The aim is to find Pareto optimal front for a problem that has five objective functions, nine constraints and seven variables. The problem is divided into three cases. Case 1 has first two objective functions, the case 2 considers last three objective functions and case 3 deals all the five objective functions. Intelligent optimization algorithms namely Multi-objective Genetic Algorithm (MOGA), Elitist Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II) and Multi-objective Differential Evolution (MODE) are proposed to solve the problem. Normalized weighting objective functions method is used to select the best optimal solution from Pareto optimal front. Two multi-objective performance measures (solution spread measure (SSM) and ratio of non-dominated individuals (RNIs)) are used to evaluate the strength of the Pareto optimal fronts. Two more multi-objective performance measures namely optimizer overhead (OO) and algorithm effort are used to find the computational effort of MOGA, NSGA-II and MODE algorithms. The Pareto optimal fronts and results obtained from various techniques are compared and analyzed. 相似文献

Calibrating watershed-scale hydrologic models remains a critical but challenging step in the modeling process. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) is one example of a widely used watershed-scale hydrologic model that requires calibration. The calibration algorithms currently available to SWAT modelers through freely available and open source software, however, are limited and do not include many multi-objective genetic algorithms (MOGAs). The Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II) has been shown to be an effective and efficient MOGA calibration algorithm for a wide variety of applications including for SWAT model calibration. Therefore, the objective of this study was to create an open source software library for multi-objective calibration of SWAT models using NSGA-II. The design and implementation of the library are presented, followed by a demonstration of the library through a test case for the Upper Neuse Watershed in North Carolina, USA using six objective functions in the model calibration. 相似文献

随着数据中心数量和规模的不断扩大,能耗已经成为制约数据中心成本和可靠性的关键问题。而且,随着数据中心投入运营后的硬件迭代更新,数据中心服务器的异构性进一步加大,其能效也同设计建设之初相比有较大的变化。因此,根据数据中心服务器的构成和硬件配置,对整个数据中心进行动态能效仿真与分析,有助于实时掌握数据中心的能效现状,进行能效感知的负载调度,并提供能效优化的可能性。首先基于企业级服务器的SPECpower测试结果,对近年来服务器的能效发展趋势和影响因素进行了分析;然后基于遗传算法对数据中心的能效优化进行仿真,并设计了一个数据中心的能效仿真器原型系统。该仿真器可以根据供电限额、负载情况和吞吐量指标等动态仿真和调整数据中心服务器的运行状态,并对不同规模和不同服务器类型的数据中心能效进行仿真。所提出的基于遗传算法的数据中心能效仿真算法在能量最小化问题上得到了较小的误差和较短的仿真计算时间。 相似文献

In this article, we present a multi-objective discrete particle swarm optimizer (DPSO) for learning dynamic Bayesian network
(DBN) structures. The proposed method introduces a hierarchical structure consisting of DPSOs and a multi-objective genetic
algorithm (MOGA). Groups of DPSOs find effective DBN sub-network structures and a group of MOGAs find the whole of the DBN
network structure. Through numerical simulations, the proposed method can find more effective DBN structures, and can obtain
them faster than the conventional method. 相似文献

This paper proposes a novel approach for multi-objective optimization when the criteria of interest rely on a functional output
from an expensive-to-evaluate numerical simulator. More specifically, the proposed method is developed in the frame of an
automotive application. The aim of this application is to design the shape of an intake port in order to maximize the mass
flow (denoted by Q) and the tumble (denoted by T), which both depend on a 3D velocity field obtained by numerical flow simulation. Since the considered flow simulator is
time-consuming, using regular multi-objective genetic algorithms (MOGA) directly on integral quantities depending on the simulator
output is prohibitive. Three different Reduced Order Models (ROMs) are presented. The first one consists in directly Kriging
the integral quantities Q and T on the basis of the outputs computed at an initial design of experiments, and basing the optimization search on the sequentially
obtained couples of response surfaces. The other methods explored in the present work consist in building a parametrized representation
of the whole velocity field by different variants of the Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD). Instead of directly Kriging
Q and T at un-sampled locations, the proposed technique is hence to proceed in two steps: first approximate the functional outcome
by Kriging the POD coefficients, and then compute the integral quantities Q and T associated with the approximate 3D field. However, such an approach induces new difficulties since the truncated POD does
not preserve the global (integrated) quantities, and that surrogate-based MOGA with this kind of POD are therefore likely
to fail locating the (Q, T)-Pareto front accurately. This is what motivates to propose an original constrained POD method (called CPOD) meant to overcome
the bias created by the truncation made in regular POD. More precisely, this means modifying the way of calculating the POD
coefficients by imposing the integral quantities Q and T based on the truncated POD to match with the actual Q and T values obtained by flow simulation at the design of experiments. A detailed comparison of the Pareto sets obtained from the
three ROMs demonstrates the interest of the CPOD approach. 相似文献

Multi-objective optimization of an auto panel drawing die face design by mesh morphing 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In order to facilitate the tryout or simulation process at the end of a manual auto panel drawing die face design process, we use finite element analysis (FEA) and a multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) to find all the Pareto optimal solutions in one go and to achieve the optimal design of an auto panel drawing die face instead of transforming multi-objective functions into a single objective function, and employ a novel mesh morphing technique to achieve fast modification of parametric or non-parametric addendum surfaces and binder surfaces on drawing die faces without going back to CAD for reconstruction of geometric models or to FEA for remodeling. We use an auto panel drawing die face design process as an example to illustrate the application and effectiveness of this proposed approach, and come to the conclusion that the proposed approach is more effective than the traditional manual FEA method and the ‘trial-and-error’ approach in optimizing an auto panel drawing die face design. 相似文献

Hyper-heuristics are emerging methodologies that perform a search over the space of heuristics in an attempt to solve difficult computational optimization problems. We present a learning selection choice function based hyper-heuristic to solve multi-objective optimization problems. This high level approach controls and combines the strengths of three well-known multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (i.e. NSGAII, SPEA2 and MOGA), utilizing them as the low level heuristics. The performance of the proposed learning hyper-heuristic is investigated on the Walking Fish Group test suite which is a common benchmark for multi-objective optimization. Additionally, the proposed hyper-heuristic is applied to the vehicle crashworthiness design problem as a real-world multi-objective problem. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the hyper-heuristic approach when compared to the performance of each low level heuristic run on its own, as well as being compared to other approaches including an adaptive multi-method search, namely AMALGAM. 相似文献
