We perform a computational study on 0-1 knapsack problems generated under explicit correlation induction. A total of 2000 100-variable test problems are solved. We use two solution methods: (1) a well known heuristic and (2) a representative branch and bound type algorithm. Two different performance measures are considered: (1) the number of nodes needed to find an optimal solution and (2) the relative error of the heuristic solution. We also examine the effect of different joint probability mass functions (pmfs) for the coefficient values on the performance of the solution procedure.

Evolutionary algorithm is recognized as a promising approach to solving multi-objective combinatorial optimization problems. When no preference information of decision makers is given, multi-objective optimization problems have been commonly used to search for diverse and good Pareto optimal solution. In this paper we propose a new multi-objective evolutionary algorithm based on competitive coevolutionary algorithm, and demonstrate the applicability of the algorithm. The proposed algorithm is designed to promote both population diversity and rapidity of convergence. To achieve this, the strategies of fitness evaluation and the operation of the Pareto set are developed. The algorithm is applied to job shop scheduling problems (JSPs). The JSPs have two objectives: minimizing makespan and minimizing earliness or tardiness. The proposed algorithm is compared with existing evolutionary algorithms in terms of solution quality and diversity. The experimental results reveal the effectiveness of our approach.

This paper suggests O(n) linear-time algorithm for car sequencing problem (CSP) that has been classified as NP-complete because of the polynomial-time algorithm to solve the solution has been unknown yet. This algorithm applies maximum options-equiped car type first production rule to decide the car sequencing of n meet the r:s constraint. This paper verifies thirteen experimental data with the six data are infeasible. For thirteen experimental data, the proposed algorithm can be get the solution for in all cases. And to conclude, This algorithm shows that the CSP is not NP-complete but the P-problem. Also, this algorithm proposes the solving method to the known infeasible cases. Therefore, the proposed algorithm will stand car industrial area in good stead when it comes to finding a car sequencing plan.

This paper is presented to determine the optimal parameters of squeeze film damper using an enhanced genetic algorithm (EGA). The damper design parameters are the radius, length and radial clearance of the damper. The objective function is minimization of a transmitted load between bearing and foundation at the operating and critical speeds of a flexible rotor. The present algorithm was the synthesis of a genetic algorithm with simplex method for a local concentrate search. This hybrid algorithm is not only faster than the standard genetic algorithm, but also gives a more accurate solution and can find both the global and local optimum solution. The numerical example is presented that illustrated the effectiveness of enhanced genetic algorithm for the optimal design of the squeeze film damper for reducing transmitted load.

Placement is a very important step in the VLSI physical design process. It is the problem of placing circuit modules to optimize the circuit performance and reliability of the circuit. It is used at the layout level to find strongly connected components that can be placed together in order to minimize the layout area and propagation delay. The most popular algorithms for circuit placement include the cluster growth, simulated annealing, integer linear programming and genetic algorithm. In this paper we propose a adapted genetic algorithm searching solution space for the placement problem, and then compare it with simulated annealing and genetic algorithm by analyzing the results of each implementation. As a result, it was found that the adaptive genetic algorithm approaches the optimal solution more effectively than the simulated annealing and genetic algorithm.

The algorithm for obtaining the isotonic regression in simple tree order, the most basic and simplest model next to the simple order, is considered. We propose to call it "Pool-the-Maximum-Violators" algorithm (PMVA) in conjunction with the "Pool-Adjacent-Violators" algorithm (PAVA) in the simple order. The dual problem of obtaining the isotonic regression in simple tree order is our main concern. An intuitively appealing relation between the primal and the dual problems is demonstrated. The interesting difference is that in simple order the required number of pooling is at least the number of initial violating pairs and any path leads to the solution, whereas in the simple tree order it is at most the number of initial violators and there is only one advisable path although there may be some others leading to the same solution.o the same solution.

Limit analysis has been rendered versatile in many problems such as structural problems and metal forming problems. In metal forming analysis, a slip-line method and an upper bound method approach to limit solutions is considered as the most challenging areas. In the present work, a general algorithm for limit solutions of plastic flow is developed with the use of finite element limit analysis. The algorithm deals with a generalized Holder inequality, a duality theorem, and a combined smoothing and successive approximation in addition to a general procedure for finite element analysis. The algorithm is robust such that from any initial trial solution, the first iteration falls into a convex set which contains the exact solution(s) of the problem. The idea of the algorithm for limit solution is extended from rigid/perfectly-plastic materials to work-hardening materials by the nature of the limit formulation, which is also robust with numerically stable convergence and highly efficient computing time.

AGV flowpath layout design is one of the most important steps for efficient AGV systems design. Since it was formulated by Gaskins & Tanchoco (1987), a unidirectional AGV flowpath layout design problem has been tackled by many researchers. However, the solution methods were traded off between the solution quality and the computational time. In this paper, a tabu search technique is applied to obtain a good solution for a relatively large problem in reasonable computational time. Specifically, fast construction algorithm for feasible initial solutions, long-term memory structure and neighbor solutions generation are adapted to the problem characteristics and embedded in the tabu search algorithm. Also, sets of computational experiments show that the proposed tabu search algorithm outperforms to the Ko and Egbelu's algorithm (2003).

Job Shop Problem which consists of the m different machines and n jobs is a NP-hard problem of the combinatorial optimization. Each job consists of a chain of operations, each of which needs to be processed during an uninterrupted time period of a given length on a given machine. Each machine can process at most one operation at a time. The purpose of this paper is to develop the heuristic method to solve large scale scheduling problem using Constraint Satisfaction Problem method and Simulated Annealing. The proposed heuristic method consists of the search algorithm and optimization algorithm. The search algorithm is to find the solution in the solution space using CSP concept such as backtracking and domain reduction. The optimization algorithm is to search the optimal solution using SA. This method is applied to MT06, MT10 and MT20 Job Shop Problem, and compared with other heuristic method.

This paper describes the optimization problem of real power rescheduling and present an algorithm based linear programming for studying the load-shedding and generation reallocation problem when a portion of the transmission system is disabled and at power flow solution cannot be obtained for the overload of some lines. And in case initial is infeasible, solution could not be converge. So this paper gives an algorithm being lie infeasible quantities within limit. The paper describes a LP-based algorithm to obtain the solution in power dispatch related to overload situations in power system and it is easily extened under various objective. The optimization procedures is based in linear programming with bounded variables and use the multi-segment curve method for a objective function and the validity of the algorithm is verified with two examples : 10-bus system and 57-bus system.
