Heuristic optimizers are an important tool in academia and industry, and their performance-optimizing configuration requires a significant amount of expertise. As the proper configuration of algorithms is a crucial aspect in the engineering of heuristic algorithms, a significant research effort has been dedicated over the last years towards moving this step to the computer and, thus, make it au...

We introduce in this paper a new starting mechanism for multiple-objective linear programming (MOLP) algorithms. This makes it possible to start an algorithm from any solution in objective space. The original problem is first augmented in such a way that a given starting solution is feasible. The augmentation is explicitly or implicitly controlled by one parameter during the search process, whi...

Abstract This paper introduces a multi-objective variant of the marine predators algorithm (MPA) called improved (MOIMPA), which incorporates concepts from Quantum theory. By leveraging theory, MOIMPA aims to enhance MPA’s ability balance between exploration and exploitation find optimal solutions. The utilizes concept inspired by Schrödinger wave function determine position particles in search...
