In this study a supply chain network design model has been developed considering both forward and reverse flows through the supply chain. Total Cost, environmental factors such as CO2 emission, and social factors such as employment and fairness in providing job opportunities are considered in three separate objective functions. The model seeks to optimize the facility location proble...

In this paper, we propose a multiobjective Genetic Algorithm (mo-GA) for solving a multiobjective reliability optimization problem. In order to obtain high efficiency of searching non-dominated solutions, we combine the Improved Saving Pareto solutions Strategy (ISPS) and the adoptive Local Search (LS) with the multiobjective Genetic Algorithm. Through some numerical experiments, we evaluate th...

We present a new non-dominated sorting algorithm to generate the non-dominated fronts in multi-objective optimization with evolutionary algorithms, particularly the NSGA-II. The non-dominated sorting algorithm used by NSGA-II has a time complexity of O(MN(2)) in generating non-dominated fronts in one generation (iteration) for a population size N and M objective functions. Since generating non-...

Abstract: In order to solve the vehicle routing problem with pickup and delivery (VRPPD), this paper proposed an improved quantum genetic algorithm based on different constraint conditions. Firstly, a mathematical model was established aiming at minimizing the dispatching time and the total cost. Secondly, the paper proposes the improved quantum genetic algorithm and non dominated sorting strat...

this study emphasized the ability of genetic algorithm and cellular automate to simulate urban land use changes by integrating adaptive model. the most important part of modeling is to define transition rules.  in this research, a cellular automata model in dinamica ego software was used coupled with genetic algorithm. according to disability of the software for manipulating large number of var...
