A particle swarm optimization for a fuzzy multi-objective unrelated parallel machines scheduling problem

This paper proposes a novel multi-objective model for an unrelated parallel machine scheduling problem considering inherent uncertainty in processing times and due dates. The problem is characterized by non-zero ready times, sequence and machine-dependent setup times, and secondary resource constraints for jobs. Each job can be processed only if its required machine and secondary resource (if any) are available at the same time. Finding optimal solution for this complex problem in a reasonable time using exact optimization tools is prohibitive. This paper presents an effective multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) algorithm to find a good approximation of Pareto frontier where total weighted flow time, total weighted tardiness, and total machine load variation are to be minimized simultaneously. The proposed MOPSO exploits new selection regimes for preserving global as well as personal best solutions. Moreover, a generalized dominance concept in a fuzzy environment is employed to find locally Pareto-optimal frontier. Performance of the proposed MOPSO is compared against a conventional multi-objective particle swarm optimization (CMOPSO) algorithm over a number of randomly generated test problems. Statistical analyses based on the effect of each algorithm on each objective space show that the proposed MOPSO outperforms the CMOPSO in terms of quality, diversity and spacing metrics.

Multiobjective particle swarm optimization with nondominated local and global sets

In multiobjective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) methods, selecting the local best and the global best for each particle of the population has a great impact on the convergence and diversity of solutions, especially when optimizing problems with high number of objectives. This paper presents an approach using two sets of nondominated solutions. The ability of the proposed approach to detect the true Pareto optimal solutions and capture the shape of the Pareto front is evaluated through experiments on well-known non-trivial multiobjective test problems as well as the real-life electric power dispatch problem. The diversity of the nondominated solutions obtained is demonstrated through different measures. The proposed approach has been assessed through a comparative study with the reported results in the literature.

Multi-objective optimization of hybrid backorder inventory model

This paper addresses inventory problem for the products that are sold in monopolistic and captive markets experiencing hybrid backorder (i.e., fixed backorder and time-weighted backorder). The problem with stochastic demand is studied first by developing single objective (cost) inventory model. Computational results of a numerical problem show the effectiveness of hybrid backorder inventory model over fixed backorder inventory model. The model is later extended to multi-objective inventory model. Three objectives of multi-objective inventory model are the minimization of total cost, minimization of stockout units and minimization of the frequency of stockout. A multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) algorithm is used to solve the inventory model and generate Pareto curves. The Pareto curves obtained for hybrid backorder inventory model are compared with the existing Pareto curves that are based on fixed backorder. The results show a substantial reduction in stockout units and frequency of stockout with a marginal rise in cost with proposed hybrid backorder inventory system in comparison to existing fixed backorder inventory system. Sensitivity analysis is done to study the robustness of total cost, order quantity, and safety stock factor with the change in holding cost. In the end, the performance of the MOPSO algorithm is compared with the multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA). The metrics that are used for the performance measurement of the algorithms are error ratio, spacing and maximum spread.

Multi-criterion Pareto based particle swarm optimized polynomial neural network for classification: A review and state-of-the-art

In this paper, we proposed a multi-objective Pareto based particle swarm optimization (MOPPSO) to minimize the architectural complexity and maximize the classification accuracy of a polynomial neural network (PNN). To support this, we provide an extensive review of the literature on multi-objective particle swarm optimization and PNN. Classification using PNN can be considered as a multi-objective problem rather than as a single objective one. Measures like classification accuracy and architectural complexity used for evaluating PNN based classification can be thought of as two different conflicting criterions. Using these two metrics as the criteria of classification problem, the proposed MOPPSO technique attempts to find out a set of non-dominated solutions with less complex PNN architecture and high classification accuracy. An extensive experimental study has been carried out to compare the importance and effectiveness of the proposed method with the chosen state-of-the-art multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) algorithm using several benchmark datasets. A comprehensive bibliography is included for further enhancement of this area.

Multi-objective evolutionary approach to prevent premature convergence in Monte Carlo localization

In this paper, we propose a global localization algorithm for mobile robots based on Monte Carlo localization (MCL), which employs multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) incorporating a novel archiving strategy, to deal with the premature convergence problem in global localization in highly symmetrical environments. Under three proposed rules, premature convergence occurring during the localization can be easily detected so that the proposed MOPSO is introduced to obtain a uniformly distributed Pareto front based on two objective functions respectively representing weights and distribution of particles in MCL. On the basis of the derived Pareto front, MCL is able to resample particles with balanced weights as well as diverse distribution of the population. As a consequence, the proposed approach provides better diversity for particles to explore the environment, while simultaneously maintaining good convergence to achieve a successful global localization. Simulations have confirmed that the proposed approach can significantly improve global localization performance in terms of success rate and computational time in highly symmetrical environments.     

On convergence of the multi-objective particle swarm optimizers

Several variants of the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm have been proposed in recent past to tackle the multi-objective optimization (MO) problems based on the concept of Pareto optimality. Although a plethora of significant research articles have so far been published on analysis of the stability and convergence properties of PSO as a single-objective optimizer, till date, to the best of our knowledge, no such analysis exists for the multi-objective PSO (MOPSO) algorithms. This paper presents a first, simple analysis of the general Pareto-based MOPSO and finds conditions on its most important control parameters (the inertia factor and acceleration coefficients) that govern the convergence behavior of the algorithm to the optimal Pareto front in the objective function space. Computer simulations over benchmark MO problems have also been provided to substantiate the theoretical derivations.
