Robustness Optimization

This paper focuses on the discrete robustness optimization of emergency transportation network with the consideration of timeliness and decision behavior of decision-maker under the limited rationality. Based on a situation that the nearer to disaster area, the higher probability of time delay, prospect theory is specially introduced to reflect the subjective decision behavior of decision-maker. Then, a discrete robustness optimization model is proposed with the purpose of the better timeliness and robustness. The model is based on the emergency transportation network with multistorage centers and multidisaster points. In order to obtain the optimal solution, an improved genetic algorithm is designed by introducing a bidirectional search strategy based on a newfangled path cluster to obtain specific paths that connect each storage centers and each disaster points. Finally, a case study is exhibited to demonstrate the reasonability of the model, theory, and algorithm. The result shows that the path cluster with the better timeliness and robustness can be well obtained by using the prospect theory and improved genetic algorithm. The analysis especially reveals that the robustness is correspondent to the risk aversion in prospect theory.

A prototype filter design for FBMC/OQAM systems is proposed in this study. The influence of both the channel estimation and the stop-band energy is taken into account in this method. An efficient preamble structure is proposed to improve the performance of channel estimation and save the frequency spectral efficiency. The reciprocal of the signal-to-interference plus noise ratio (RSINR) is derived to measure the influence of the prototype filter on channel estimation. After that, the process of prototype filter design is formulated as an optimization problem with constraint on the RSINR. To accelerate the convergence and obtain global optimal solution, an improved genetic algorithm is proposed. Especially, the History Network and pruning operator are adopted in this improved genetic algorithm. Simulation results demonstrate the validity and efficiency of the prototype filter designed in this study.

The study of emergency decision making (EDM) is helpful to reduce the difficulty of decision making and improve the efficiency of decision makers (DMs). The purpose of this paper is to propose an innovative genetic algorithm for emergency decision making under resource constraints. Firstly, this paper analyzes the emergency situation under resource constraints, and then, according to the prospect theory (PT), we further propose an improved value measurement function and an emergency loss levels weighting algorithm. Secondly, we assign weights for all emergency locations using the best–worst method (BWM). Then, an improved genetic algorithm (GA) based on prospect theory (PT) is established to solve the problem of emergency resource allocation between multiple emergency locations under resource constraints. Finally, the analyses of example show that the algorithm can shorten the decision-making time and provide a better decision scheme, which has certain practical significance.

The Optimal trajectory design for hypersonic cruise missile is an optimal control problem with strict terminal constraints and variable final time. The classical algorithms always encounter the problems of high sensitivity to initial guess and local convergence in solving this problem. Aiming at these problems, genetic algorithm (GA) which is of good global convergence is applied to designing the optimal trajectory for hypersonic cruise missile. In order to improve the convergence rate of GA and overcome its premature problems, this text introduces a predatory search (PS) strategy to speed the convergence of genetic algorithms, robust and closer to the optimal solution. This text compares the original genetic algorithm (GA) and improved genetic algorithm by the emulate experiments, and the results show that the PSGA is a more effective method to design the Optimal trajectory for hypersonic cruise missile than the original genetic algorithm.

Allocation Approach

This paper describes a methodology based on improved genetic algorithms (GA) and experiments plan to optimize the testability allocation. Test resources were reasonably configured for testability optimization allocation, in order to meet the testability allocation requirements and resource constraints. The optimal solution was not easy to solve of general genetic algorithm, and the initial parameter value was not easy to set up and other defects. So in order to more efficiently test and optimize the allocation, migration technology was introduced in the traditional genetic algorithm to optimize the iterative process, and initial parameters of algorithm could be adjusted by using AHP approach, consequently testability optimization allocation approach based on improved genetic algorithm was proposed. A numerical example is used to assess the method. and the examples show that this approach can quickly and efficiently to seek the optimal solution of testability optimization allocation problem.
