A gene-pool based genetic algorithm for TSP

Based on the analysis of previous genetic algorithms (GAs) for TSP, a novel method called Ge- GA is proposed. It combines gene pool and GA so as to direct the evolution of the whole population. The core of Ge- GA is the construction of gene pool and how to apply it to GA. Different from standard GAs, Ge- GA aims to enhance the ability of exploration and exploitation by incorporating global search with local search. On one hand a local search called Ge- Lo-calSearch operator is proposed to improve the solution quality, on the other hand the modified Inver-Over operator called Ge- InverOver is considered as a global search mechanism to expand solution space of local minimal. Both of these operators are based on the gene pool. Our algorithm is applied to 11 well-known traveling salesman problems whose numbers of cities are from 70 to 1577 cities. The experiments results indicate that Ge- GA has great robustness for TSP. For each test instance, the average value of solution quality, found in accepted time, stays within 0. 001% from the optimum.

Two-phase genetic algorithm applied in the optimization of multi-modal function

This paper presents a two-phase genetic algorithm (TPGA) based on the multi-parent genetic algorithm (MPGA). Through analysis we find MPGA will lead the population’s evolvement to diversity or convergence according to the population size and the crossover size, so we make it run in different forms during the global and local optimization phases and then forms TPGA. The experiment results show that TPGA is very efficient for the optimization of low-dimension multi-modal functions) usually we can obtain all the global optimal solutions.

Asynchronous parallel evolutionary algorithms for constrained optimizations

Recently Guo Tao proposed a stochastic search algorithm in his PhD thesis for solving function optimization problems. He combined the subspace search method (a general multi-parent recombination strategy) with the population hill-climbing method. The former keeps a global search for overall situation, and the latter keeps the convergence of the algorithm. Guo's algorithm has many advantages, such as the simplicity of its structure, the higher accuracy of its results, the wide range of its applications, and the robustness of its use. In this paper a preliminary theoretical analysis of the algorithm is given and some numerical experiments has been done by using Guo's algorithm for demonstrating the theoretical results. Three asynchronous parallel evolutionary algorithms with different granularities for MIMD machines are designed by parallelizing Guo's Algorithm.

结合聚类模型和自适应模型的遗传算法

在进化后期,自适应遗传算法有助于保存种群中的优秀模式;但在进化初期,对适应度值大的个体的保护,易降低种群的多样性、减弱算法的搜索性能。基于聚类的遗传算法可以提高遗传算法的收敛速度和搜索性能,但交叉概率和变异概率取定值,易使优秀模式在进化后期遭到破坏,难以收敛到全局最优。在遗传算法中同时引入聚类模型和自适应模型,有利于继承两类改进型遗传算法的优点,克服各自的不足。使用经典的测试函数对引入聚类模型和自适应模型的遗传算法进行测试,仿真结果表明:同时引入聚类模型和自适应模型的遗传算法比引入聚类模型或自适应模型的遗传算法具有更好的收敛速度和寻优能力。     

A feedback-based web search engine

Web search engines are very useful information service tools in the Internet. The current web search engines produce search results relating to the search terms and the actual information collected hy them. Since the selections of the search results cannot affect the future ones. they may not cover most people‘s interests. In this paper, feedback informarion produced by the users‘ accessing lists will be represented By the rough set and can reconstruct the query string and influence the search results. And thus the search engines can provide self-adaptability.     

A new evolutionary algorithm for solving multi-objective optimization problems

Multi-objective optimization is a new focus of evolutionary computation research. This paper puts forward a new algorithm, which can not only converge quickly, but also keep diversity among population efficiently, in order to find the Pareto-optimal set. This new algorithm replaces the worst individual with a newly-created one by “multi-parent crossover”. so that the population could converge near the true Pareto-optimal solutions in the end. At the same time, this new algorithm adopts niching and fitness-sharing techniques to keep the population in a good distribution. Numerical experiments show that the algorithm is rather effective in solving some Benchmarks. No matter whether the Pareto front of problems is convex or non-convex, continuous or discontinuous, and the problems are with constraints or not, the program turns out to do well.
