The purpose of this study is to present a method for determining the k most vital arcs in shortest path problem using an evolutionary algorithm. The problem of finding the k most vital arcs in shortest path problem is to find a set of k arcs whose simultaneous removal from the network causes the greatest increase in the total length of shortest path. The problem determining the k most vital arcs in shortest path problem has known as NP-hard. Therefore, in order to deal with the problem of real world the heuristic algorithm is needed. In this study we propose to the method of finding the k-MVA in shortest path problem using an evolutionary algorithm which known as the most efficient algorithm among heuristics. For this, the expression method of individuals compatible with the characteristics of shortest path problem, the parameter values of constitution gene, size of the initial population, crossover rate and mutation rate etc. are specified and then the effective genetic algorithm will be proposed. The method presented in this study is developed using the library of the evolutionary algorithm framework (EAF) and then the performance of algorithm is analyzed through the computer experiment.

The transportation problem (TP) is one of the traditional optimization problems. Unlike the TP, the fixed charge transportation problem (FCTP) cannot be solved using polynomial time algorithms. So, finding solutions for the FCTP is a well-known NP-complete problem involving an importance in a transportation network design. So, it seems to be natural to use evolutionary algorithms for solving FCTP. And many evolutionary algorithms have tackled this problem and shown good performance. This paper introduces an efficient evolutionary algorithm for the FCTP. The proposed algorithm can always generate feasible solutions without any repair process using the random key representation. Especially, it can guide the search toward the basic solution. Finally, we performed comparisons with the previous results known on the benchmark instances and could confirm the superiority of the proposed algorithm.

Rapid development in computer and network technology these days has created in environment in which decisions for manufacturing companies can be made in a much broader perspective. Especially, better decisions on production and distribution planning(PDP) problems can be made laking advantage of real time information from all the parties concerned. However, since the PDP problem-a core part of the supply chain management- is known to be the so-called NP-hard problem, so heuristic methods are dominantly used to find out solutions in a reasonable time. As one of those heuristic techniques, many previous studios considered genetic a1gorithms. A standard genetic a1gorithm applies rules of reproduction, gene crossover, and mutation to the pseudo-organisms so the organisms can pass along beneficial and survival-enhancing trails to a new generation. When it comes to representing a chromosome on the problem, it is hard to guarantee an evolution of solutions through classic a1gorithm operations alone, for there exists a strong epitasis among genes. To resolve this problem, we propose a hybrid genetic a1gorithm based on Silver-Meal heuristic. Using IMS-TB(Intelligent Manufacturing System Test-bed) problem sets. the good performance of the proposed a1gorithm is demonstrated.

본 논문은 최적 통신 걸침 나무 문제(Optimum Communication Spanning Tree Problem OCST)를 다룬다. 일반적으로, OCST문제는 WP-hard 문제로 알려져 있으며 최근에 Papadimitriou 와 Yannakakis에 의해서 MAX SNP-hard로 밝혀졌다. 그럼에도 불구하고 OCST 문제를 해결하기 위한 기존의 주된 접근법은 polynomial time 알고리즘들 이었다. 본 논문에서는 OCST 문제를 해결하기 위한 진화 알고리즘을 소개한다. 특히, 진화 알고리즘을 어떤 문제에 적용할 때 가장 우선적으로 고려되어야 하는 사항은 해를 어떻게 표현할 것인가 하는 표현법(representation)에 관한 것이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기존에 차수 제약 걸침 나무 문제를 해결하기 위해 제안한 표현법의 단점을 개선하는 새로운 표현법을 제안하고 이 표현법을 이용해서 트리(tree)를 만들어 내는 decoding 방법 또한 소개한다. 그리고 제안하는 해 표현법에 맞는 유전 연산자를 찾기 위해 네트워크의 정보 및 부모세대가 지닌 유전 정보를 이용하는 3가지 방법을 실험하였다. 결론적으로, 다양한 실험을 통해서 제안하는 방법이 기존의 방법에 비해 우수한 결과를 보여 준다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have attracted lots of attention in recent years due to their potential for various applications. In this paper, we seek how to efficiently deploy relay nodes into traditional static WSNs with constrained locations, aiming to satisfy specific requirements of the industry, such as average energy consumption and average network reliability. This constrained relay node deployment problem (CRNDP) is known as NP-hard optimization problem in the literature. We consider addressing this multi-objective (MO) optimization problem with an improved Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm with a linear local search (MOABCLLS), which is an extension of an improved ABC and applies two strategies of MO optimization. In order to verify the effectiveness of the MOABCLLS, two versions of MO ABC, two additional standard genetic algorithms, NSGA-II and SPEA2, and two different MO trajectory algorithms are included for comparison. We employ these metaheuristics on a test data set obtained from the literature. For an in-depth analysis of the behavior of the MOABCLLS compared to traditional methodologies, a statistical procedure is utilized to analyze the results. After studying the results, it is concluded that constrained relay node deployment using the MOABCLLS outperforms the performance of the other algorithms, based on two MO quality metrics: hypervolume and coverage of two sets.

Recently, energy harvesting technology has been integrated into wireless sensor networks to ameliorate the nodes' energy limitation problem. In theory, the wireless sensor node equipped with an energy harvesting module can work permanently until hardware failures happen. However, due to the change of power supply, the traditional hierarchical network routing protocol can not be effectively adopted in energy harvesting wireless sensor networks. In this paper, we improve the Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) protocol to make it suitable for the energy harvesting wireless sensor networks. Specifically, the cluster heads are selected according to the estimation of nodes' harvested energy and consumed energy. Preference is given to the nodes with high harvested energy while taking the energy consumption rate into account. The utilization of harvested energy is mathematically formulated as a max-min optimization problem which maximizes the minimum energy conservation of each node. We have proved that maximizing the minimum energy conservation is an NP-hard problem theoretically. Thus, a polynomial time algorithm has been proposed to derive the near-optimal performance. Extensive simulation results show that our proposed routing scheme outperforms previous works in terms of energy conservation and balanced distribution.
