in this paper, we develop a capacitated location-covering model considering interval values for demand and service parameters. we also consider flexibility on distance standard for covering demand nodes by the servers. we use the satisfaction degree to represent the constraint of service capacity. the proposed model belongs to the class of mixed integer programming models. our model can be redu...

An industrial ethane thermal cracking reactor was modeled assuming a molecular mechanism for the reaction kinetics coupled with material, energy, and momentum balances of the reactant-product flow along the reactor. To carry out the multi-objective optimization for two objectives such as conversion and ethylene selectivity, the elitist non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm was used. The Paret...

....... An important problem in the realm of evolutionary multi-objective optimization (MOO) is that of finding all non-dominated fronts (NDFs). We specifically address the computational efficiency of the non-dominated sorting algorithm for finding the non-dominated fronts for the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) algorithm. We introduce the Limiting Index Sort (LIS) algorith...

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...

allergens are proteins or glycoproteins which make widespread disorders that can lead to a systemic anaphylactic shock and even death within a short period of time. understanding the protein features that are involved in allergenicity is important in developing future treatments as well as engineering proteins in genetic transformation projects. a big dataset of 1439 protein features from 761 p...

this article proposes a new algorithm for finding a good approximate set of non-dominated solutions for solving generalized traveling salesman problem. Random gravitational emulation search algorithm (RGES (is presented for solving traveling salesman problem. The algorithm based on random search concepts, and uses two parameters, speed and force of gravity in physics. The proposed algorithm is ...

this paper presents an innovative active power filter design method to simultaneously compensate the current harmonics and reactive power of a nonlinear load. the power filter integrates a passive power filter which is a rl low-pass filter placed in series with the load, and an active power filter which comprises an rl in series with an igbt based voltage source converter. the filter is assumed...
