چکیده
Some engineering applications of heuristic multilevel optimization methods are presented and the discussion focuses on the dependency matrix that indicates the relationship between problem functions and variables. Decompositions are identified with dependency matrices that are full, block diagonal and block triangular with coupling variables. Coordination of the subproblem optimizations is shown to be typically achieved through the use of exact or approximate sensitivity analysis. Areas for further development are identified.

متن کاملMultilevel redundancy allocation using two dimensional arrays encoding and hybrid genetic algorithm
With the popularity of multilevel design in large scale systems, reliability redundancy allocation on multilevel systems is becoming attractive to researchers. Multilevel redundancy allocation problem (MLRAP) is not only NP-hard, but also qualifies as hierarchy optimization problem. Exact method could not tackle MLRAP very well, so heuristic and meta-heuristic methods are often used to solve it...

متن کاملA survey of non-gradient optimization methods in structural engineering
In this paper, we present a review on non-gradient optimization methods with applications to structural engineering. Due to their versatility, there is a large use of heuristic methods of optimization in structural engineering. However, heuristic methods do not guarantee convergence to (locally) optimal solutions. As such, recently, there has been an increasing use of derivative-free optimizati...
