An enhanced differential evolution based algorithm, named multi-objective differential evolution with simulated annealing algorithm (MODESA), is presented for solving multiobjective optimization problems (MOPs). The proposed algorithm utilizes the advantage of simulated annealing for guiding the algorithm to explore more regions of the search space for a better convergence to the true Pareto-optimal front. In the proposed simulated annealing approach, a new acceptance probability computation function based on domination is proposed and some potential solutions are assigned a life cycle to have a priority to be selected entering the next generation. Moreover, it incorporates an efficient diversity maintenance approach, which is used to prune the obtained nondominated solutions for a good distributed Pareto front. The feasibility of the proposed algorithm is investigated on a set of five biobjective and two triobjective optimization problems and the results are compared with three other algorithms. The experimental results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Annealing Algorithm

In the process of physical annealing, a solid is heated until all particles randomly arrange themselves forming the liquid state. A slow cooling process is then used to crystallize the liquid. This process is known as simulated annealing. Simulated annealing is stochastic computational technique that searches for global optimum solutions in optimization problems. The main goal here is to give the algorithm more time in the search space exploration by accepting moves, which may degrade the solution quality, with some probability depending on a parameter called temperature. In this discussion the simulated annealing algorithm is implemented in pest and weather data set for feature selection and it reduces the dimension of the attributes through specified iterations.

The present paper focus on the improvement of the efficiency of structural optimization, in typical structural optimization problems there may be many locally minimum configurations. For that reason, the application of a global method, which may escape from the locally minimum points, remain essential. In this paper, a new hybrid simulated annealing algorithm for large scale global optimization problems with constraints is proposed. The authors have developed a stochastic algorithm called SAPSPSA that uses Simulated Annealing algorithm (SA). In addition, the Simultaneous Perturbation Stochastic Approximation method (SPSA) is used to refine the solution. Commonly, structural analysis problems are constrained. For the reason that SPSA method involves penalizing constraints a penalty method is used to design a new method, called Penalty SPSA (PSPSA) method. The combination of both methods (Simulated Annealing algorithm and Penalty Simultaneous Perturbation Stochastic Approximation algorithm) provides a powerful hybrid stochastic optimization method (SAPSPSA), the proposed method is applicable for any problem where the topology of the structure is not fixed. It is simple and capable of handling problems subject to any number of constraints which may not be necessarily linear. Numerical results demonstrate the applicability, accuracy and efficiency of the suggested method for structural optimization. It is found that the best results are obtained by SAPSPSA compared to the results provided by the commercial software ANSYS.

Differential evolution (DE) is one of the most effective ways to solve global optimization problems. However, considering the traditional DE has lower search efficiency and easily traps into local optimum, a novel DE variant named hybrid DE and simulated annealing (SA) algorithm for global optimization (HDESA) is proposed in this paper. This algorithm introduces the concept of “ranking” into the mutation operation of DE and adds the idea of SA to the selection operation. The former is to improve the exploitation ability and increase the search efficiency, and the latter is to enhance the exploration ability and prevent the algorithm from trapping into the local optimal state. Therefore, a better balance can be achieved. The experimental results and analysis have shown its better or at least equivalent performance on the exploitation and exploration capability for a set of 24 benchmark functions. It is simple but efficient.
