Diversity-adaptive parallel memetic algorithm for solving large scale combinatorial optimization problems

Parallel memetic algorithms (PMAs) are a class of modern parallel meta-heuristics that combine evolutionary algorithms, local search, parallel and distributed computing technologies for global optimization. Recent studies on PMAs for large-scale complex combinatorial optimization problems have shown that they converge to high quality solutions significantly faster than canonical GAs and MAs. However, the use of local learning for every individual throughout the PMA search can be a very computationally intensive and inefficient process. This paper presents a study on two diversity-adaptive strategies, i.e., (1) diversity-based static adaptive strategy (PMA-SLS) and (2) diversity-based dynamic adaptive strategy (PMA-DLS) for controlling the local search frequency in the PMA search. Empirical study on a class of NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem, particularly large-scale quadratic assignment problems (QAPs) shows that the diversity-adaptive PMA converges to competitive solutions at significantly lower computational cost when compared to the canonical MA and PMA. Furthermore, it is found that the diversity-based dynamic adaptation strategy displays better robustness in terms of solution quality across the class of QAP problems considered. Static adaptation strategy on the other hand requires extra effort in selecting suitable parameters to suit the problems in hand.     

Metaheuristic downhill simplex method in combinatorial optimization

The concept of combinatorial objects is formalized. It allows strict definition of a combinatorial optimization problem (COP). An efficient metaheuristic method to solve COPs (H-method) is considered. It includes stochastic local search algorithms as a built-in procedure. A parallel implementation of the H-method is set forth and analyzed. The results from a numerical experiment and solution of some well-known COPs on personal computers and on the SKIT cluster supercomputer are presented. The study was supported by INTAS (Project 06-1000017-8909). __________ Translated from Kibernetika i Sistemnyi Analiz, No. 6, pp. 70–79, November–December 2007.

Multi-center variable-scale search algorithm for combinatorial optimization problems with the multimodal property

Combinatorial optimization problems (COPs) are discrete problems arising from aerospace, bioinformatics, manufacturing, and other fields. One of the classic COPs is the scheduling problem. Moreover, these problems are usually multimodal optimization problems with a quantity of global and local optima. As a result, many search algorithms can easily become trapped into local optima. In this article, we propose a multi-center variable-scale search algorithm for solving both single-objective and multi-objective COPs. The algorithm consists of two distinct points. First, the multi-center strategy chooses several individuals with better performance as the only parents of the next generation, which means that there are a number of separate searching areas around the searching center. Second, the next generation of the population is produced by a variable-scale strategy with an exponential equation based on the searching center. The equation is designed to control the neighborhood scale, and adaptively realize the large-scale and small-scale searches at different search stages to balance the maintenance of diversity and convergence speed. In addition, an approach of adjusting centers is proposed concerning the number and distribution of centers for solving multi-objective COPs. Finally, the proposed algorithm is applied to three COPs, including the well-known flexible job shop scheduling problem, the unrelated parallel machine scheduling problem, and the test task scheduling problem. Both the single-objective optimization algorithm and the multi-objective optimization algorithm demonstrate competitive performance compared with existing methods.

The spherical search algorithm for bound-constrained global optimization problems

In this paper, a new optimization algorithm called Spherical Search (SS) is proposed to solve the bound-constrained non-linear global optimization problems. The main operations of SS are the calculation of spherical boundary and generation of new trial solution on the surface of the spherical boundary. These operations are mathematically modeled with some more basic level operators: Initialization of solution, greedy selection and parameter adaptation, and are employed on the 30 black-box bound constrained global optimization problems. This study also analyzes the applicability of the proposed algorithm on a set of real-life optimization problems. Meanwhile, to show the robustness and proficiency of SS, the obtained results of the proposed algorithm are compared with the results of other well-known optimization algorithms and their advanced variants: Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Differential Evolution (DE), and Covariance Matrix Adapted Evolution Strategy (CMA-ES). The comparative analysis reveals that the performance of SS is quite competitive with respect to the other peer algorithms.
