A multi-offspring genetic algorithm based on sorting grouping selection and combination pairing crossover was proposed in this paper. First, individuals the population were sorted according to their objective function values, remaining divided into several groups after eliminating worst. Then, operation, which has advantage of a simplified calculation that can be easily performed, implemented. ...

inventory management in production-remanufacturing system has been receiving a great deal of attention in recent years. in literature review, production environment is composed of two sections. the first section is included: production process, remanufacturing process and other options considered in reverse logistics. the second section is included: collection and sorting processes. determinati...

despite the growing use of evolutionary multi-objective optimization algorithms in different categories of science, these algorithms as a powerful tool in portfolio optimization and specially solving multi-objective portfolio optimization problem is still in its early stages. in this paper, moeas have been used for solving multi-objective portfolio optimization problem in tehran stock market. f...

in this study the performance and emissions characteristics of a heavy-duty, direct injection, compression ignition (ci) engine which is specialized in agriculture, have been investigated experimentally. for this aim, the influence of injection timing, load, engine speed on power, brake specific fuel consumption (bsfc), peak pressure (pp), nitrogen oxides (nox), carbon dioxide (co2), carbon mon...

During last decades, developing multi-objective evolutionary algorithms for optimization problems has found considerable attention. Flexible job shop scheduling problem, as an important scheduling optimization problem, has found this attention too. However, most of the multi-objective algorithms that are developed for this problem use nonprofessional approaches. In another words, most of them c...

....... The fast and elitist non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) contains a mechanism to sort individuals in a multi-objective optimization problem into non-dominated fronts, based on their performance in each optimization variable. When dealing with a bi-objective problem it is possible to carry-out the non-dominated sorting more efficiently, using the new sorting method presente...

This paper addresses an unrelated multi-machine scheduling problem with sequence-dependent setup time, release date and processing set restriction to minimize the sum of weighted earliness/tardiness penalties and the sum of completion times, which is known to be NP-hard. A Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) model is proposed to formulate the considered multi-criteria problem. Also, to solve the mo...
