This paper presents a new approach on genetic on genetic algorithm to economic dispatch problem for valve point discontinuities. Proposed approach in this paper on genetic algorithms improves the performance to solve economic dispatch problem for valve point discontivuities through improved death penalty method, generation-apart elitism, atavism and sexual selection with sexual distinction. Numerical results on a test system consisting of 13 thermal units show that the proposed approach is faster, more robust and powerful than conventional genetic algorithms.

This paper presents a new approach on genetic algorithms to economic dispatch problem for valve point discontinuities. Although it has been already shown that genetic algorithm was more powerful to economic dispatch problem for valve point discontinuities than other optimization algorithms, proposed approach in this paper on genetic algorithms improves the performance to solve economic dispatch problem for valve point discontinuities through combination in penalty function with death penalty, generation-apart elitism and heuristic crossover. Numerical results on an actural utility system consisted of 13 thermal units show that the proposed approach is faster and robuster than the classical genetic algorithm.

Aim of this article is to propose Micro-Genetic Simulated Annealing (${\mu}GSA$) as a hybrid metaheuristics approach to find the global optimum of nonlinear optimisation problems. This approach combines the features of modern metaheuristics such as micro-genetic algorithm (${\mu}GAs$) and simulated annealing (SA) with the general robustness of parallel exploration and asymptotic convergence, respectively. Therefore, ${\mu}GSA$ approach can help in avoiding the premature convergence and can search for better global solution, because of its wide spread applicability, global perspective and inherent parallelism. For the superior performance of the ${\mu}GSA$, the five well-know benchmark test functions that were tested and compared with the two global optimisation approaches: scatter search (SS) and hybrid scatter genetic tabu (HSGT) approach. A practical application to structural sandwich panel is also examined by optimism the weight function. From the simulation results, it has been concluded that the proposed ${\mu}GSA$ approach is an effective optimisation tool for soloing continuous nonlinear global optimisation problems in suitable computational time frame.

This paper describes a new optimum design approach for piled raft foundations using the genetic algorithm. The objective function considered is the cost-based total weight of raft and piles. The genetic algorithm is a search or optimization technique based on nature selection. Successive generation evolves more fit individuals on the basis of the Darwinism survival of the fittest. In formulating the genetic algorithm-based optimum design procedure, the analysis of piled raft foundations is peformed based on the 'hybrid'approach developed by Clancy(1993), and also the simple genetic algorithm proposed by the Goldberg(1989) is used. To evaluate a validity of the optimum design procedure proposed based on the genetic algorithm, comparisons regarding optimal pile placement for minimizing differential settlements by Kim et at.(1999) are made. In addition using proposed design procedure, design examples are presented.

Prediction of process parameters is very important in parameter design. If predictions are fairly accurate, the quality improvement process will be useful to save time and reduce cost. The concept of dual response approach based on response surface methodology has widely been investigated. Dual response approach may take advantages of optimization modeling for finding optimum setting of input factor by separately modeling mean and variance responses. This study proposes an alternative dual response approach based on machine learning techniques instead of statistical analysis tools. A hybrid neural network-genetic algorithm has been proposed for the purpose of parameter design. A neural network is first constructed to model the relationship between responses and input factors. Mean and variance responses correspond to output nodes while input factors are used for input nodes. Using empirical process data, process parameters can be predicted without performing real experimentations. A genetic algorithm is then applied to find the optimum settings of input factors, where the neural network is used to evaluate the mean and variance response. A drug formulation example from pharmaceutical industry has been studied to demonstrate the procedures and applicability of the proposed approach.

본 논문에서는 선행제약순서결정문제(Sequencing problem with precedence constraints, SPPC)를 효과적으로 해결하기 위한 적응형 유전알고리즘(Adaptive genetic algorithm, aGA)을 제안한다. aGA에서 는 SPPC를 효과적으로 표현하기 위해 위상정렬에 기초한 표현절차(topological sort-based representation procedure) 를 사용한다. 제안된 aGA는 퍼지로직제어를 이용한 적응형구조를 가지고 있으며, 유전 탐색과정을 통해 교차변이 연산자(Crossover operator)의 비율을 적응적으로 조절한다. 수치예제에서는 다양한 형태의 SPPC를 제시하였으며, 그 실험결과는 제안된 aGA가 기존의 알고리즘보다 우수함을 보여주었다. 결론적으로 말하자면 본 논문에서는 제안된 aGA가 다양한 형태의 SPPC에서 최적해 혹은 최적순서를 발견하는데 아주 효과적이라는 것을 밝혔다.

A fire sequencing problem is considered. Fire sequencing problem is a kind of scheduling problem that seeks to minimize the overall time span under a result of weapon­target allocation problem. The assigned weapons should impact a target simultaneously and a weapon cannot transfer the firing against another target before all planned rounds are consumed. The computational complexity of the fire sequencing problem is strongly NP­complete even if the number of weapons is two, so it is difficult to get the optimal solution in a reasonable time by the mathematical programming approach. Therefore, a genetic algorithm is adopted as a solution method, in which the representation of the solution, crossover and mutation strategies are applied on a specific condition. Computational results using randomly generated data are presented. We compared the solutions given by CPLEX and the genetic algorithm. Above $7(weapon){\times}15(target)$ size problems, CPLEX could not solve the problem even if we take enough time to solve the problem since the required memory size increases dramatically as the number of nodes expands. On the other hand, genetic algorithm approach solves all experimental problems very quickly and gives good solution quality.

This paper presents a new approach to evaluate reliability indices of electric distribution systems using genetic Algorithm (GA). The use of reliability evaluation is an important aspect of distribution system planning and operation to adjust the reliability level of each area. In this paper, the reliability model is based on the optimal load transforming problem to minimize load generated load point outage in each sub-section. This approach is one of the most difficult procedures and become combination problems. A new approach using GA was developed for this problem. GA is a general purpose optimization technique based on principles inspired from the biological evolution using metaphors of mechanisms such as natural selection, genetic recombination and survival of the fittest. Test results for the model system with 24 nodes 29 branches are reported in the paper.

This study develops an efficient heuristic which is based on genetic approach for AGVs flow path layout problem. The suggested solution approach uses a algorithm to replace two 0-1 integer programming models and a branch-and-bound search algorithm. Genetic algorithms are a class of heuristic and optimization techniques that imitate the natural selection and evolutionary process. The solution is to determine the flow direction of line in network AGVs. The encoding of the solutions into binary strings is presented, as well as the genetic operators used by the algorithm. Genetic algorithm procedure is suggested, and a simple illustrative example is shown to explain the procedure.

Cleft lip and/or palate are common birth defects in humans and the causes including multiple genetic and environmental factors are complex. Combinations of genetic, biochemical, and embryological approaches in the laboratory mice are used to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying normal craniofacial development and the congenital craniofacial malformations including cleft lip and/or palate. Both forward and reverse genetic approaches are used. The forward genetic approach involves identification of causative genes and molecular pathways disrupted by uncharacterized mutations that cause craniofacial malformations including cleft lip and/or cleft palate. The reverse genetic approach involves generation and analyses of mice carrying null or conditional mutations using the Cre-loxP mediated gene targeting techniques.
