A novel stochastic optimization algorithm

This paper presents a new stochastic approach SAGACIA based on proper integration of simulated annealing algorithm (SAA), genetic algorithm (GA), and chemotaxis algorithm (CA) for solving complex optimization problems. SAGACIA combines the advantages of SAA, GA, and CA together. It has the following features: (1) it is not the simple mix of SAA, GA, and CA; (2) it works from a population; (3) it can be easily used to solve optimization problems either with continuous variables or with discrete variables, and it does not need coding and decoding,; and (4) it can easily escape from local minima and converge quickly. Good solutions can be obtained in a very short time. The search process of SAGACIA can be explained with Markov chains. In this paper, it is proved that SAGACIA has the property of global asymptotical convergence. SAGACIA has been applied to solve such problems as scheduling, the training of artificial neural networks, and the optimizing of complex functions. In all the test cases, the performance of SAGACIA is better than that of SAA, GA, and CA.     

Hybrid genetic algorithm with adaptive local search scheme for solving multistage-based supply chain problems

The optimal design of supply chain (SC) is a difficult task, if it is composed of the complicated multistage structures with component plants, assembly plants, distribution centers, retail stores and so on. It is mainly because that the multistage-based SC with complicated routes may not be solved using conventional optimization methods. In this study, we propose a genetic algorithm (GA) approach with adaptive local search scheme to effectively solve the multistage-based SC problems.The proposed algorithm has an adaptive local search scheme which automatically determines whether local search technique is used in GA loop or not. In numerical example, two multistage-based SC problems are suggested and tested using the proposed algorithm and other competing algorithms. The results obtained show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the other competing algorithms.

An efficient genetic algorithm for automated mining of both positive and negative quantitative association rules

In this paper, a genetic algorithm (GA) is proposed as a search strategy for not only positive but also negative quantitative association rule (AR) mining within databases. Contrary to the methods used as usual, ARs are directly mined without generating frequent itemsets. The proposed GA performs a database-independent approach that does not rely upon the minimum support and the minimum confidence thresholds that are hard to determine for each database. Instead of randomly generated initial population, uniform population that forces the initial population to be not far away from the solutions and distributes it in the feasible region uniformly is used. An adaptive mutation probability, a new operator called uniform operator that ensures the genetic diversity, and an efficient adjusted fitness function are used for mining all interesting ARs from the last population in only single run of GA. The efficiency of the proposed GA is validated upon synthetic and real databases.     

Forking genetic algorithms: GAs with search space division schemes

In this article, we propose a new type of genetic algorithm (GA), the forking GA (fGA), which divides the whole search space into subspaces, depending on the convergence status of the population and the solutions obtained so far. The fGA is intended to deal with multimodal problems that are difficult to solve using conventional GAs. We use a multipopulation scheme that includes one parent population that explores one subspace and one or more child populations exploiting the other subspace. We consider two types of fGAs, depending on the method used to divide the search space. One is the genotypic fGA (g-fGA), which defines the search subspace for each subpopulation, depending on the salient schema within the genotypic search space. The other is the phenotypic fGA (p-fGA), which defines a search subspace by a neighborhood hypercube around the current best individual in the phenotypic feature space. Empirical results on complex function optimization problems show that both the g-fGA and p-fGA perform well compared to conventional GAs. Two additional utilities of the p-fGA are also studied briefly.     

Learning with case-injected genetic algorithms

This paper presents a new approach to acquiring and using problem specific knowledge during a genetic algorithm (GA) search. A GA augmented with a case-based memory of past problem solving attempts learns to obtain better performance over time on sets of similar problems. Rather than starting anew on each problem, we periodically inject a GA's population with appropriate intermediate solutions to similar previously solved problems. Perhaps, counterintuitively, simply injecting solutions to previously solved problems does not produce very good results. We provide a framework for evaluating this GA-based machine-learning system and show experimental results on a set of design and optimization problems. These results demonstrate the performance gains from our approach and indicate that our system learns to take less time to provide quality solutions to a new problem as it gains experience from solving other similar problems in design and optimization.     

An effective hybrid optimization strategy for job-shop scheduling problems

Simulated annealing is a naturally serial algorithm, but its behavior can be controlled by the cooling schedule. Genetic algorithm exhibits implicit parallelism and can retain useful redundant information about what is learned from previous searches by its representation in individuals in the population, but GA may lose solutions and substructures due to the disruptive effects of genetic operators and is not easy to regulate GA's convergence. By reasonably combining these two global probabilistic search algorithms, we develop a general, parallel and easily implemented hybrid optimization framework, and apply it to job-shop scheduling problems. Based on effective encoding scheme and some specific optimization operators, some benchmark job-shop scheduling problems are well solved by the hybrid optimization strategy, and the results are competitive with the best literature results. Besides the effectiveness and robustness of the hybrid strategy, the combination of different search mechanisms and structures can relax the parameter-dependence of GA and SA.Scope and purposeJob-shop scheduling problem (JSP) is one of the most well-known machine scheduling problems and one of the strongly NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems. Developing effective search methods is always an important and valuable work. The scope and purpose of this paper is to present a parallel and easily implemented hybrid optimization framework, which reasonably combines genetic algorithm with simulated annealing. Based on effective encoding scheme and some specific optimization operators, the job-shop scheduling problems are well solved by the hybrid optimization strategy.
