A study on flowshop scheduling problem combining Taguchi experimental design and genetic algorithm

As genetic algorithm parameters vary depending on different problem types when applying genetic algorithm to reach global optimum, appropriate design value selection has significant impact on the efficiency of genetic algorithm. However, most users adjust parameters manually based on the reference values of previous literature. Such trial-and-error method is time-consuming, ineffective, and often it could not locate the optimal combination. Therefore, in flowshop scheduling problems, this research anticipates to complete optimal parameter combination design in genetic algorithm using Taguchi experimental design. According to the research results, different ways of producing initial solution have significant influence on this research topic. Consequently, confirmation experiment is conducted using the optimal parameter combination obtained from the research results. It is found that the predicted value of signal-to-noise ratio (S/N ratio) and its actual value exists deviation of 0.238%, indicating repetitiveness and robustness of the obtained parameter combination. Hence, this research method can effectively reduce time spent on parameter design using genetic algorithm and increase efficiency of algorithm.

Super connectivity of Kronecker products of graphs

Let G₁ and G₂ be two connected graphs. The Kronecker product G₁×G₂ has vertex set V(G₁×G₂)=V(G₁)×V(G₂) and the edge set . In this paper, we show that if G is a bipartite graph with κ(G)=δ(G), then G×Kn(n?3) is super-κ.
