By use of the properties of ant colony algorithm and genetic algorithm, a novel ant colony genetic hybrid algorithm, whose framework of hybrid algorithm is genetic algorithm, is proposed to solve the traveling salesman problems. The selection operator is an artificial version of natural selection, and chromosomes with better length of tour have higher probabilities of being selected in the next...

in this paper, a comprehensive model is proposed to design a network for multi-period, multi-echelon, and multi-product inventory controlled the supply chain. various marketing strategies and guerrilla marketing approaches are considered in the design process under the static competition condition. the goal of the proposed model is to efficiently respond to the customers’ demands in the presenc...

expert systems can help to build banks customers' credit scoring models. here, selection of key features of the credit scoring is important. also, it is possible to express the features values as fuzzy. the problem is how to improve features selection by genetic algorithm, in way that these features can be employed as input in fuzzy expert system. this paper presents a hybrid credit scorin...

We develop a new optimization algorithm that combines the genetic algorithm and a recently proposed global optimization algorithm called the nested partitions method. The resulting hybrid algorithm retains the global perspective of the nested partitions method and the local search capabilities of the genetic algorithm. We also present a detailed application of the new algorithm to a NP-hard pro...

The construction of artificial systems by drawing inspiration from natural systems is not a new idea. The Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are good examples of successful applications of the biological metaphor to the solution of computational problems. The study of artificial immune systems is a relatively new field that tries to exploit the mechanisms of the natura...

In this paper, a new hybrid methodology is introduced to design a cost-sensitive fuzzy rule-based classification system. A novel cost metric is proposed based on the combination of three different concepts: Entropy, Gini index and DKM criterion. In order to calculate the effective cost of patterns, a hybrid of fuzzy c-means clustering and particle swarm optimization algorithm is utilized. This ...

Many authors have examined lot sizing, scheduling and sequence of multi-product flow shops, but most of them have assumed that set up times are independent of sequence. Whereas dependence of set up times to sequence is more common in practice. Hence, in this paper, we examine the discussed problem with hypothesis of dependence of set up times to sequence and cyclic schedule policy in basic peri...

In this paper, applying hybrid projection method, a new modified Ishikawa iteration scheme is presented for finding a common element of the solution set of an equilibrium problem and the set of fixed points of relatively nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces. A numerical example is given and the numerical behaviour of the sequences generated by this algorithm is compared with several existence...
