During the last decade, the stringent pressures from environmental and social requirements have spurred an interest in designing a reverse logistics (RL) network. The success of a logistics system may depend on the decisions of the facilities locations and vehicle routings. The location-routing problem (LRP) simultaneously locates the facilities and designs the travel routes for vehicles among ...

The deployment strategy for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) affects the quality of service (QoS). Adopting a reasonable can improve QoS WSNs. In this paper, problem regarding node WSNs on three-dimensional (3D) terrain is modeled as multi-objective optimization problem. coverage rate WSNs, their unbalanced energy consumption, and number nodes are used fitness functions We propose non-dominated ...

Objective: In general, financial time series such as stock indexes have nonlinear, mutable and noisy behavior. Structural and statistical models and machine learning-based models are often unable to accurately predict series with such a behavior. Accordingly, the aim of the present study is to present a new hybrid model using the advantages of the GMDH method and Non-dominated Sorting Genetic A...

It is observed that the separated design of location for depots and routing for servicing customers often reach a suboptimal solution. So, solving location and routing problem simultaneously could achieve better results. In this paper, waste collection problem is considered with regard to economic and societal objective functions. A non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) is used to l...

This article addresses a general tri-objective two-echelon capacitated vehicle routing problem (2E-CVRP) to minimize the total travel cost, customers waiting times and carbon dioxide emissions simultaneously in distributing perishable products. In distributing perishable products, customers’ satisfaction is very important and is inversely proportional to the customers waiting times. The propose...

The automated shape optimization of an electrostatic micromotor with radial field is tackled. Two objectives in mutual contrast i.e. static torque and torque ripple, depending on two design variables, are considered. An innovative procedure for vector optimization which aims at obtaining as many optimal solutions as possible, is presented. To this end, a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm ...

Abstract In general redundancy allocation problems the redundancy strategy for each subsystem is predetermined. Tavakkoli- Moghaddam presented a series-parallel redundancy allocation problem with mixing components (RAPMC) in which the redundancy strategy can be chosen for individual subsystems. In this paper, we present a bi-objective redundancy allocation when the redundancy strategies for...

This chapter presents the application of a comprehensive statistical analysis for both algorithmic performance comparison and optimal parameter estimation on a multi-objective digital signal processing problem. The problem of designing optimum digital finite impulse response (FIR) filters with the simultaneous approximation of the filter magnitude and phase is posed as a multiobjective optimiza...

In this work, a new multi-objective optimization algorithm called learner performance-based behavior is proposed. The proposed based on the process of moving graduated students from high school to college. technique produces set non-dominated solutions. To test ability and efficacy algorithm, it applied group benchmarks five real-world engineering problems. Several widely used metrics are emplo...
