PSEUDO-RANDOM DIRECTIONAL SEARCH: A NEW HEURISTIC FOR OPTIMIZATION

نویسنده

  • M. Shahrouzi
چکیده مقاله:

Meta-heuristics have already received considerable attention in various fields of engineering optimization problems. Each of them employes some key features best suited for a specific class of problems due to its type of search space and constraints. The present work develops a Pseudo-random Directional Search, PDS, for adaptive combination of such heuristic operators. It utilizes a short term memory via indirect information share between search agents and the directional search inspired by natural swarms. Treated numerical examples illustrate the PDS performance in continuous and discrete design spaces.

OPTIMAL DESIGN OF DIAGRID MODULES BY PSEUDO RANDOM DIRECTIONAL SEARCH

The present work reveals a problem formulation to minimize material consumption and improve efficiency of diagrids to resist equivalent wind loading. The integrated formulation includes not only sizing of structural members but also variation in geometry and topology of such a system. Particular encoding technique is offered to handle practical variation of diagrid modules. A variant of Pseudo-...

Random Heuristic Search

There is a developing theory of growing power which, at its current stage of development (indeed, for a number of years now), speaks to qualitative and quantitative aspects of search strategies. Although it has been specialized and applied to genetic algorithms, it's implications and applicability are far more general. This paper deals with the broad outlines of the theory, introducing basic pr...

A random search heuristic for a multi-objective production planning

Real world production planning is involved in optimizing different objectives while considering a spectrum of parameters, decision variables, and constraints of the corresponding cases. This comes from the fact that production managers desire to utilize from an ideal production plan by considering a number of objectives over a set of technological constraints. This paper presents a new multi-ob...

New Hoopoe Heuristic Optimization

Most optimization problems in real life applications are often highly nonlinear. Local optimization algorithms do not give the desired performance. So, only global optimization algorithms should be used to obtain optimal solutions. This paper introduces a new nature-inspired metaheuristic optimization algorithm, called Hoopoe Heuristic (HH). In this paper, we will study HH and validate it again...

CONFIGURATION OPTIMIZATION OF TRUSSES USING A MULTI HEURISTIC BASED SEARCH METHOD

Different methods are available for simultaneous optimization of cross-section, topology and geometry of truss structures. Since the search space for this problem is very large, the probability of falling in local optimum is considerably high. On the other hand, different types of design variables (continuous and discrete) lead to some difficulties in the process of optimization. In this articl...
