Single-objective to multi-objective/many-objective optimization (SMO) is a new paradigm in the evolutionary transfer (ETO), since there are only “1 + 4” pioneering works on SMOs so far, that is, “1” continuous and firstly performed by Professors L. Feng H.D. Wang, “4” proposed our group for discrete cases. As computational paradigm, theoretical insights into relatively rare now. Therefore, we p...

Abstract The Chaos Game Optimization (CGO) has only recently gained popularity, but its effective searching capabilities have a lot of potential for addressing single-objective optimization issues. Despite advantages, this method can tackle problems formulated with one objective. multi-objective CGO proposed in study is utilized to handle the several objectives (MOCGO). In MOCGO, Pareto-optimal...

this paper proposes per unit coding for combined economic emission load dispatch problem. in the proposed coding, it is possible to apply the percent effects of elements in any number and with high accuracy in objective function. in the proposed per unit coding, each function is transformed into per unit form based on its own maximum value and has a value from 0 to 1. in this paper, particle sw...

a multi-objective optimization procedure has been developed to determine some kinetic parameters of free radical polymerization of vinyl acetate based on genetic algorithm. for this purpose, mathematical modeling of free radical polymerization of vinyl acetate is carried out first and then selected kinetic parameters are optimized by minimizing objective functions defined from comparing experim...

Background: Water distribution networks (WDNs) are facilities that require massive investment and their optimization is very important. This study aimed to optimization and development of models for promoting WDNs with using engineering judgment. In this method, instead of controlling all system states, it is possible to search the optimal set of options based on engineering judgment and hydra...
