This paper presents a new metaheuristic named Dhouib-Matrix-3 (DM3) inspired by our recently developed constructive stochastic heuristic Dhouib-Matrix-TSP2 (DM-TSP2) and characterized by only one parameter: the number of iterations. The proposed metaheuristic DM3 is an iterative algorithm in which every iteration is based on two relay hybridization techniques. At first, the constructive stochastic heuristic DM-TSP2 starts by generating a different initial basic feasible solution and then each solution is intensified by the novel procedure Far-to-Near which exchanges far cities by closer ones using three perturbation techniques: insertion, exchange, and 2-opt. Experimental results carried out on the classical travelling salesman problem using the well-known TSP-LIB benchmark instances demonstrate that our approach DM3 outclasses the simulated annealing algorithm, the genetic algorithm, and the cellular genetic algorithm. Furthermore, the proposed DM3 is statistically concurrent to the hybrid simulated annealing cellular genetic algorithm. Nevertheless, DM3 is easier to implement and needs only one parameter to identify (the maximum number of iterations).

An effective hybrid Simulated Annealing Algorithm based on Genetic Algorithm is proposed to apply to reservoir operation. Compared with other optimal methods, it is proved that SA-GA algorithm is a quite effective optimization method to solve reservoir operation problem. The simulated annealing algorithm is introduced to Genetic Algorithm, which is feasibility and validity. As a result of stronger ability of global search and better convergence property of SA-GA, and compared with other algorithms, the approximate global optimal solution would be obtained in little time. The operation speed is more quickness and the results are more stabilization by SA-GA, than Genetic Algorithm and the traditional Dynamic Programming and POA.

The problem of forecasting state variables of electric power system is studied. The paper suggests data-driven adaptive approach based on hybrid-genetic algorithm which combines the advantages of genetic algorithm and simulated annealing algorithm. The proposed method has two stages. At the first stage the input signal is decomposed into orthogonal basis functions based on the Hilbert-Huang transform. The genetic algorithm and simulated annealing algorithm are applied to optimal training of the artificial neural network and support vector machine at the second stage. The results of applying the developed approach for the short-term forecasts of active power flows in the electric networks are presented. The best efficiency of proposed approach is demonstrated on real retrospective data of active power flow forecast using the hybrid-genetic support vector machine algorithm.

This study compares automated methods to develop short forms of psychometric scales. Obtaining a short form that has both adequate internal structure and strong validity with respect to relationships with other variables is difficult with traditional methods of short-form development. Metaheuristic algorithms can select items for short forms while optimizing on several validity criteria, such as adequate model fit, composite reliability, and relationship to external variables. Using a Monte Carlo simulation study, this study compared existing implementations of the ant colony optimization, Tabu search, and genetic algorithm to select short forms of scales, as well as a new implementation of the simulated annealing algorithm. Selection of short forms of scales with unidimensional, multidimensional, and bifactor structure were evaluated, with and without model misspecification and/or an external variable. The results showed that when the confirmatory factor analysis model of the full form of the scale was correctly specified or had only minor misspecification, the four algorithms produced short forms with good psychometric qualities that maintained the desired factor structure of the full scale. Major model misspecification resulted in worse performance for all algorithms, but including an external variable only had minor effects on results. The simulated annealing algorithm showed the best overall performance as well as robustness to model misspecification, while the genetic algorithm produced short forms with worse fit than the other algorithms under conditions with model misspecification.
