scheduling for job shop is very important in both fields of production management and combinatorial op-timization. however, it is quite difficult to achieve an optimal solution to this problem with traditional opti-mization approaches owing to the high computational complexity. the combination of several optimization criteria induces additional complexity and new problems. in this paper, we pro...

in this paper an approach based on evolutionary algorithms to find pareto optimal pair of state and control for multi-objective optimal control problems (moocp)'s is introduced‎. ‎in this approach‎, ‎first a discretized form of the time-control space is considered and then‎, ‎a piecewise linear control and a piecewise linear trajectory are obtained from the discretized time-control space using ...

in this paper, experimentally derived correlations of heat transfer and pressure drop are used in a pareto based multi-objective optimization (moo) approach to find the best possible combinations of heat transfer and pressure drop of tio2-water nanofluid flow in tubes fitted with multiple twisted tape inserts in different arrangement. in this study there are four independent design variables: t...

In a recent publication, we presented a new multiobjective decision-making tool for use in conceptual engineering design. In the present paper, we provide important developments that support the next phase in the evolution of the tool. These developments, together with those of our previous work, provide a concept selection approach that capitalizes on the benefits of computational optimization...

 Evolutionary multi-objective optimization (EMOO) finds a set of Pareto solutions rather than any single aggregated optimal solution for a multi-objective problem. The purpose of this paper is to describe a newly developed evolutionary approach --Paretobased multi-objective differential evolution (MODE). In this paper, the concept of differential evolution, which is well-known in the continuou...

This paper is about learning a continuous approximation of the Pareto frontier in Multi–Objective Markov Decision Problems (MOMDPs). We propose a policy–based approach that exploits gradient information to generate solutions close to the Pareto ones. Differently from previous policy–gradient multi–objective algorithms, where n optimization routines are used to have n solutions, our approach per...
