Firstly, the optimization problem was translated into a graph decomposition problem. Then the graph decomposition problem was represented by the binary coding, which can be processed by quantum genetic algorithm. At last, a multiple-operators based adaptive quantum genetic algorithm was proposed to optimize the network coding resources. In the algorithm, the individual fitness evaluation operator and population mutation adjustment operator were employed to solve the shortcomings of common quantum genetic algorithm, such as high convergence rate, easy to fall into local optimal solution and low diversity of the population in later stage. The experimental results under various topologies show that the proposed algorithm has the advantages of high multicast success rate, fast convergence speed and strong global search ability in resolving the network coding resource optimization problems.展开更多

Therefore, new antennas should be developed to provide larger bandwidth and at the same time small dimensions. Although the gain in bandwidth performances of an antenna are directly related to its dimensions in relation to the wavelength, the aim is to keep the overall size of the antenna constant and from there, find the geometry and structure that give the best performance. The design and bandwidth optimization of a Planar Inverted-F Antenna (PIFA) were introduced in order to achieve a larger bandwidth in the 2 GHz band, using two optimization techniques based upon genetic algorithms (GA), namely the Binary Coded GA (BCGA) and Real-Coded GA (RCGA). During the optimization process, the different PIFA models were evaluated using the finite-difference time domain (FDTD) method-a technique belonging to the general class of differential time domain numerical modeling methods.展开更多

This paper creatively establishes a new mathematical model to determine the appropriate number of vehicles to be placed at each placement point by calculating the traffic weights of the placement points and optimizes the hyperparameters in the algorithm by adaptive quantum genetic algorithm, and at the same time combines the network flow algorithm in graph theory to calculate the most suitable scheduling scheme for shared bicycles by establishing the minimum cost maximum flow network. Through experimental validation, the network flow-based algorithm proposed in this paper allows for a more convenient calculation of the daily bike-sharing scheduling scheme compared to previous algorithms. An adaptive quantum genetic algorithm optimizes the hyperparameters appearing in the algorithm. The experimental results show that the algorithm achieves good results as the transportation cost is only 1/15th of the GA algorithm and 1/9th of the QGA algorithm.展开更多

A cross-call integration of software is developed to implement the optimization algorithm,and once the maximum economic benefit, the minimum furnace energy consumption and the minimum CO_2 emissions are obtained, the Pareto-optimal solution set is worked out, with the practical problems of the refinery being solved. The optimization result shows that under the same furnace energy consumption and the CO_2 emissions as the existing working condition, the economic benefit still allows for a considerable potential of increment by adjusting the heavy oil proportion of the binary feed crude oil.展开更多

It is a population-based approach that uses exploitation of positive feedback as well as greedy search. In this paper, genetic algorithm's (GA for short) ideas are introduced into ACO to present a new binary-coding based ant colony optimization. Compared with the typical ACO, the algorithm is intended to replace the problem's parameter-space with coding-space, which links ACO with GA so that the fruits of GA can be applied to ACO directly. Furthermore, it can not only solve general combinatorial optimization problems, but also other problems such as function optimization. Based on the algorithm, it is proved that if the pheromone remainder factor rho is under the condition of rho greater than or equal to 1, the algorithm can promise to converge at the optimal, whereas if 0 < rho < 1, it does not.展开更多

The binary tree data structure is used to describe the distillation separation sequence, and it is directly applied as the coding method. Genetic operators, which ensure to prohibit illegal filial generations completely, are designed by using the method of graph theory. The crossover operator based on a single parent or two parents is designed successfully. The example shows that the average ratio of search space from evolutionary algorithm with two-parent genetic operation is lower, whereas the rate of successful minimizations from evolutionary algorithm with single parent genetic operation is higher.展开更多

Solving these problems with continuous-variables approach then convert the continuous variables to discrete ones does not guarantee the optimal global solution. Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) have been applied successfully in combinatorial discrete optimization. Here, the mathematical basics of real-coding Genetic Algorithm are presented in addition to three other Evolutionary Algorithms: Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Ant Colony Algorithms (ACOA) and Harmony Search (HS). The EAs are presented in as unifying notations as possible in order to facilitate understanding and comparison. Our combinatorial discrete problem example is the famous benchmark case of New-York Water Supply System WSS network. The mathematical construction in addition to the obtained results of Real-coding GA applied to this case study (authors), are compared with those of the three other algorithms available in literature. The real representation of GA, with its two operators: mutation and crossover, functions significantly faster than binary and other coding and illustrates its potential as a substitute to the traditional optimization methods for water systems design and planning. The real (actual) representation is very effective and provides two near-optimal feasible solutions to the New York tunnels problem. We found that the four EAs are capable to afford hydraulically-feasible solutions with reasonable cost but our real-coding GA takes more evaluations to reach the optimal or near-optimal solutions compared to other EAs namely the HS. HS approach discovers efficiently the research space because of the random generation of solutions in every iteration, and the ability of choosing neighbor values of solution elements “changing the diameter of the pipe to the next greater or smaller commercial diameter” beside keeping good current solutions. Our proposed promising point to improve the performance of GA is by introducing completely new individuals in every generation in GA using a new “immigration” operator beside “mutation” and “crossover”.展开更多

Therefore, the stochastic multi-objective hydrothermal generation scheduling problem is formulated with explicit recognition of uncertainties in the system production cost coefficients and system load, which are treated as random variable. Fuzzy methodology has been exploited for solving a decision making problem involving multiplicity of objectives and selection criterion for best compromised solution. A real-coded genetic algorithm with arithmetic-average-bound-blend crossover and wavelet mutation operator is applied to solve short-term variable-head hydrothermal scheduling problem. Initial feasible solution has been obtained by implementing the random heuristic search. The search is performed within the operating generation limits. Equality constraints that satisfy the demand during each time interval are considered by introducing a slack thermal generating unit for each time interval. Whereas the equality constraint which satisfies the consumption of available water to its full extent for the whole scheduling period is considered by introducing slack hydro generating unit for a particular time interval. Operating limit violation by slack hydro and slack thermal generating unit is taken care using exterior penalty method. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated on two sample systems.展开更多

But these coding strategies have their own advantages and disadvantages for the optimization of functions. In this paper a new Decimal Coding Strategy (DCS), which is convenient for space division and alterable precision, was proposed, and the theory analysis of its implicit parallelism and convergence was also discussed. We also redesign several genetic operators for the decimal code. In order to utilize the historial information of the existing individuals in the process of evolution and avoid repeated exploring, the strategies of space shrinking and precision alterable, are adopted. Finally, the evolutionary algorithm based on decimal coding (DCEAs) was applied to the optimization of functions, the optimization of parameter, mixed-integer nonlinear programming. Comparison with traditional GAs was made and the experimental results show that the performances of DCEAS are better than the tradition GAs.展开更多
