Transportation problem is a model which is commonly used in data structure solving a problem (human problem solving due to the computational method) because all the humans are related to transportation in any type of manner. Normally, traditional mathematical procedures used for solving the problem which is quite lengthy, after the computational solving procedures it comes to the bit easier to solve it except traditional lengthy methods. The Genetic Algorithm (GA) is most powerful tool for solving transportation problem. It refines the better optimal solution, for enhancing the optimization of transportation problem, using genetic algorithms lots of the work already has been done. This paper discusses the impact of genetic algorithms on two different types of systems environments i.e., Single-Processor Environment Systems and Multi-Processor Environment Systems, for solving the transportation problem and found the best optimal solution time of both systems.   Index Terms— Transportation Problem, Genetics Algorithm (GA), Single-Processor Systems, Multi-Processor Systems, Optimization.

Outfitting is a critical stage in the shipbuilding process. Within the outfitting, the construction of pipe systems is a phase that has a significant effect on time and cost. While cutting the pipes required for the pipe systems in shipyards, the cutting process is usually performed randomly. This can result in large amounts of trim losses. In this paper, we present an approach to minimize these losses. With the proposed method it is aimed to base the pipe cutting process on a specific systematic. To solve this problem, Genetic Algorithms (GA), which gives successful results in solving many problems in the literature, have been used. Different types of genetic operators have been used to investigate the search space of the problem well. The results obtained have proven the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Recent development of large databases, especially those in genetics and proteomics, is pushing the development of novel computational algorithms that implement rapid and accurate search strategies. One successful approach has been to use artificial intelligence and methods, including pattern recognition (e.g. neural networks) and optimization techniques (e.g. genetic algorithms). The focus of this paper is on optimizing the design of genetic algorithms by using an adaptive mutation rate that is derived from comparing the fitness values of successive generations. We propose a novel pseudoderivative-based mutation rate operator designed to allow a genetic algorithm to escape local optima and successfully continue to the global optimum. Once proven successful, this algorithm can be implemented to solve real problems in neurology and bioinformatics. As a first step towards this goal, we tested our algorithm on two 3-dimensional surfaces with multiple local optima, but only one global optimum, as well as on the N-queens problem, an applied problem in which the function that maps the curve is implicit. For all tests, the adaptive mutation rate allowed the genetic algorithm to find the global optimal solution, performing significantly better than other search methods, including genetic algorithms that implement fixed mutation rates.

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.

The fields of molecular biology and neurobiology have advanced rapidly over the last two decades. These advances have resulted in the development of large proteomic and genetic databases that need to be searched for the prediction, early detection and treatment of neuropathologies and other genetic disorders. This need, in turn, has pushed the development of novel computational algorithms that are critical for searching genetic databases. One successful approach has been to use artificial intelligence and pattern recognition algorithms, such as neural networks and optimization algorithms (e.g. genetic algorithms). The focus of this paper is on optimizing the design of genetic algorithms by using an adaptive mutation rate based on the fitness function of passing generations. We propose a novel pseudo-derivative based mutation rate operator designed to allow a genetic algorithm to escape local optima and successfully continue to the global optimum. Once proven successful, this algorithm can be implemented to solve real problems in neurology and bioinformatics. As a first step towards this goal, we tested our algorithm on two 3-dimensional surfaces with multiple local optima, but only one global optimum, as well as on the N-queens problem, an applied problem in which the function that maps the curve is implicit. For all tests, the adaptive mutation rate allowed the genetic algorithm to find the global optimal solution, performing significantly better than other search methods, including genetic algorithms that implement fixed mutation rates.

Topicality. The urgency of the study is due to the fact that in Ukraine the volume of cargo transportation using multimodal technologies is growing. Therefore, increasing the efficiency of multimodal transportation using the latest methods of their optimization is timely. This is especially true for those modes of transport whose share in total freight turnover is relatively small. Aim and tasks.The main purpose of the study is to develop theoretical and applied provisions and algorithms for finding the optimal solution for several target functions with different measurement scales to increase the efficiency of multimodal transportation, in particular, with the alternative use of different modes of transport. To achieve this goal, the following tasks arose: to study the impact of the monopolization of the transportation market by certain modes of transport on the reliability and efficiency of transportation; solving the problem of optimization of freight transportation from the national or general industry point of view; study of the importance of the development of inland water transport to increase the efficiency and reliability of multimodal transport; creating an algorithm for finding the optimal solution for several target functions. Research results.Theoretical and applied positions of search of the optimum decision on several target functions with different scale of measurement for increase of efficiency of multimodal transportations, including, at alternative use of different types of transport are investigated. The study proved that the choice of only one of the traditional target functions of transport companies - the cost or time of transportation does not guarantee its effectiveness without assessing the risks of transportation of goods. An algorithm for selecting the optimal solution for several objective functions is proposed. To do this, we used the method of finding the extremum of each of them by its own nontrivial subset. It is proved that these sets, in the general case, are not identical, so to find a solution for several objective functions complicated by their different dimensions, the principle of compromise must be used.The study established a significant degree of monopolization of the transportation market by certain modes of transport and indicated that to solve the problem of optimization of freight transportation from the national or general industry point of view requires equalization of disparities in freight turnover by mode of transport.Conclusion.Analysis of the results of the study allows us to draw the following conclusions: to use the resource to increase the efficiency and reliability of cargo transportation, especially for multimodal transportation technologies, it is necessary to equalize the disproportions of cargo turnover by types of cargo transportation to avoid monopolization of the transport market. To increase the efficiency of transportation, the latest algorithm for selecting the optimal solution for several target functions is proposed. The introduction of this algorithm to optimize multimodal transportation in scientific and practical problems will allow to take into account the risks and find a compromise solution in complex problems of finding solutions for the transportation of goods.

In traditional interactive genetic algorithms, high-quality optimal solution is hard to be obtained due to small population size and limited evolutional generations. Aming at above problems, a parallel interactive genetic algorithm based on knowledge migration is proposed. During the evolution, the number of the populations is more than one. Evolution information can be exchanged between every two populations so as to guide themselves evolution. In order to realize the freedom communication, IP multicast is adopted as the transfer protocol to find out the similar users instead of traditional TCP/IP communication mode. Taken the fashion evolutionary design system as test platform, the results indicate that the IP multicast-based parallel interactive genetic algorithm has better population diversity. It also can alleviate user fatigue and speed up the convergence.

A chance-constrained vehicle scheduling model for fresh agriculture products pickup with uncertain demands is proposed in this paper. The uncertain measure that vehicle loading will not exceed capacity constraint is presented in the model because of the uncertainty of demands. Based on uncertainty theory, when the demands are some special uncertain variables with uncertainty distribution such as linear, zigzag and normal uncertain distribution etc., the model can be transformed to a deterministic form and solved by genetic algorithm. When the demands are general uncertain variables, a hybrid genetic algorithm with uncertain simulation is presented to obtain the optimal solution. At last, to illustrate the effective of the model and algorithm, and to analyze the impact of parameters on model solution, an experiment is provided.

Flutter characteristics of composite curved wing are investigated in this study. The efficient and robust computational system for the flutter optimization has been developed using the coupled computational method based on the micro genetic algorithms. The present results show that the micro genetic algorithm is very efficient in order to find optimized lay-ups for a composite curved wing model. It is found that the flutter stability of curved wing model can be significantly increased using composite materials with proper optimum lamination design when compared to the case of isotropic wing model under the same weight condition.
