Method: A global search Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) model is then established based on cluster analysis and grey theory. The three main operational mechanisms are: (1) an external repository to retain the optimal non-dominated solution set; (2) combined cluster analysis and grey theory to ensure a better distribution of the non-dominated solution search process; and (3) a virtual circle c...

One of the most important applications of multi-objective optimization is adjusting parameters ofpractical engineering problems in order to produce a more desirable outcome. In this paper, the decoupled sliding mode control technique (DSMC) is employed to stabilize an inverted pendulum which is a classic example of inherently unstable systems. Furthermore, a new Multi-Objective Particle Swarm O...

At depots with refined oil shortage, arranging a reasonable distribution scheme limited supply affects operation costs, demand satisfaction rate of gasoline stations (hereafter, ‘station satisfaction’), and overtime penalty. This study considers the problem shortages using multi-objective optimisation approach from perspective decision makers marketing companies. The modelling solving process i...

The scarcity of water resources nowadays lays stress on researchers to develop strategies aiming at making the best benefit currently available resources. One these is ensuring that reliable and near-optimum designs distribution systems (WDSs) are achieved. Designing WDSs a discrete combinatorial NP-hard optimization problem, its complexity increases when more objectives added. Among many exist...
