When facing a real world, optimization problems mainly become multiobjective i.e. they have several criteria of excellence. A multi-criteria problem submitted for multi-criteria evaluation is a complex problem, as usually there is no optimal solution, and no alternative is the best one according to all criteria. However, if a metaheuristic algorithm is combined with a Multi-Criteria Decision-Ma...

Redistricting is a complex and challenging spatial optimization problem. It is to group a set of spatial objects (such as counties) into a given number of geographically contiguous districts while satisfying multiple criteria and constraints such as equal population, compact shape, and more. The various criteria are often difficult to optimize and the number of potential solutions is very large...

This paper deals with the utilizing of the Bayesian optimization algorithm (BOA) for the Pareto bi-criteria optimization of the 0/1 knapsack problem. The main attention is focused on the incorporation of the Pareto optimality concept into classical structure of the BOA algorithm. We have modified the standard algorithm BOA for one criterion optimization utilizing the known niching techniques to...

The paper deals with testing and evaluation of selected heuristic optimization methods Random Search, Downhill Simplex, Hill Climbing, Tabu Search, Local Search, Simulated Annealing, Evolution Strategy and Differential Evolution. We modified basic methods in such a way that they are applicable for discrete event simulation optimization purposes. The paper is mainly focused on testing Downhill S...

This paper presents the strategy for multi-criteria optimization of a prototype. There are taken into account two different optimization criteria. An original computer program was made to make possible the graphic display of regions on the 3D model surface, which exceed a limit for surface roughness, initial established. The computer program allows the automate calculation of optimal position f...

Which criteria determine the formation of rest-to-rest arm movements when interacting with virtual mass-damper dynamics? A novel bilevel optimization approach is used to find the optimal linear combination of common optimization criteria for human trajectory formation such that the resulting trajectory comes closest to the humanperformed one. The goal is to utilize this optimal combination to p...
