In last decades, lots of nature-inspired optimization algorithms are developed and presented to the literature for solving optimization problems. Generally, these optimization algorithms can be grouped into two categories: evolutionary algorithms and swarm intelligence methods. Evolutionary methods try to improve the candidate solutions (chromosomes) using evolutionary operators such as crossov...

Abstract: The multiobjective evolutionary algorithm based on decomposition (MOEA/D) has received attention from researchers in recent years. This paper presents a new multiobjective algorithm based on decomposition and the cloud model called multiobjective decomposition evolutionary algorithm based on Cloud Particle Differential Evolution (MOEA/D-CPDE).

In this paper the Differential Evolution algorithm is deployed to the robotic path planning optimization problem for autonomous mobile vehicles. At this stage, the simulations consider the robot world with level surfaces and static obstacles , in which the optimization is performed off-line. The global objective is to evaluate the differential evolutionary algorithm in solving path planning pro...

In recent years a new evolutionary algorithm for optimization in continuos spaces called Differential Evolution (DE) has developed. DE turns out to need only few evaluation steps to minimize a function. This makes it an interesting candidate for problem domains with high computational costs as for instance in the automatic generation of programs. In this paper a DE-based tree discovering algori...

The multivariate exponentially weighted moving average (MEWMA) control chart is one of the best statistical control chart that are usually used to detect simultaneous small deviations on the mean of more than one cross-correlated quality characteristics. The economic design of MEWMA control charts involves solving a combinatorial optimization model that is composed of a nonlinear cost function ...

Multi objective optimization is a promising field which is increasingly being encountered in many areas worldwide.

Most of the real world optimization problems are multi-objective in nature. Recently, Evolutionary algorithms are gaining popularity for solving Multi-Objective Optimization Problems (MOOPs) due to their inherent advantages over traditional methods. In this paper, Differential Evolution (an evolutionary algorithm that is significantly faster and robust for optimization problems over continuous ...

This paper presents a modified Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm called OCMODE for solving multi-objective optimization problems. First, the initialization phase is improved by using the opposition based learning. Further, a time varying scale factor F employing chaotic sequence is used which helps to get a well distributed Pareto front by the help of non dominated and crowding distance sor...

We propose a 2-population cooperative coevolutionary optimization method that can efficiently solve multi-objective optimization problems as it successfully combines positive traits from classic multi-objective evolutionary algorithms and from newer optimization approaches that explore the concept of differential evolution. A key part of the algorithm lies in the proposed dual fitness sharing m...
