in this paper, landscape allocation using genetic algorithm (laga), a spatial multi-objective land use optimization software is introduced. the software helps in searching for optimal land use when multiple objectives such as suitability, area, cohesion and edge density indices are simultaneously involved. laga is a flexible and easy to use genetic algorithm-based software for optimizing the sp...

In this paper, we propose an efficient hybrid Particle Filter (PF) algorithm for video tracking by employing a genetic algorithm to solve the sample impoverishment problem. In the presented method, the object to be tracked is selected by a rectangular window inside which a few numbers of particles are scattered. The particles’ weights are calculated based on the similarity between feature vecto...

In this work we give an extension of Kauffman’s NKLandscapes to multiobjective MNK-Landscapes in order to study the effects of epistasis on the performance of multiobjective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs). This paper focuses on the development of multiobjective random one-bit climbers (moRBCs). We incrementally build several moRBCs and analyze basic working principles of state of the art MOEAs...

this study is focused on the development of a systematic computational approach which implements genetic algorithm (ga) to find the optimal rigorous kinetic models.a general kinetic model for hydrogenolysis of dibenzothiophene (dbt) based on langmuir-hinshelwood type has been obtained from open literature. this model consists of eight continuous parameters(e.g., arrhenus  and van't hoff paramet...

To find solutions as close to the Pareto front as possible, and to make them as diverse as possible in the obtained non-dominated front is a challenging task for any multiobjective optimization algorithm.2-dominance is a concept which can make genetic algorithm obtain a good distribution of Pareto-optimal solutions and has low computational time complexity,and the orthogonal design method can g...

Motorized transportation systems in the urban areas witnessed huge developments in the infrastructures thanks to the advances in various aspects of technology. This urbanization revolution has its own pros and cons. The resulting dominance of vehicles has limited the presence of people in public places and their participation in social activities, threatening the human based lifestyle of the ci...
