In this paper, NSGA-Ⅱ is used to realize the dual-objective optimization and three-objective optimization of the solar-thermal photovoltaic hybrid power generation system; Compared with the optimal solution set of three-objective optimization, optimization based on technical and economic evaluation indicators belongs to the category of multi-objective optimization. It can be considered that NSGA-Ⅱ is very suitable for multi-objective optimization of solar-thermal photovoltaic hybrid power generation system and other similar multi-objective optimization problems.

Couple Method

This paper proposes an effective couple method for solving reliability-based multi-objective optimization problems of truss structures with static and dynamic constraints. The proposed coupling method integrates a single-loop deterministic method (SLDM) into the nondominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) algorithm to give the so-called SLDM-NSGA-II. Thanks to the advantage of SLDM, the probabilistic constraints are treated as approximating deterministic constraints. And therefore the reliability-based multi-objective optimization problems can be transformed into the deterministic multi-objective optimization problems of which the computational cost is reduced significantly. In these reliability-based multi-objective optimization problems, the conflicting objective functions are to minimize the weight and the displacements of the truss. The design variables are cross-section areas of the bars and contraints include static and dynamic constraints. For reliability analysis, the effect of uncertainty of parameters such as force, added mass in the nodes, material properties and cross-section areas of the bars are taken into account. The effectiveness and reliability of the proposed method are demonstrated through three benchmark-type truss structures including a 10-bar planar truss, a 72-bar spatial truss and a 200-bar planar truss. Moreover, the influence of parameters on the reliability-based Pareto optimal fronts is also carried out.

Modified Algorithm

This paper deals with application of Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm with elitism (NSGA-II) to solve multi-objective optimization problems of designing a vehicle-borne radar antenna pedestal. Five technical improvements are proposed due to the disadvantages of NSGA-II. They are as follow: (1) presenting a new method to calculate the fitness of individuals in population; (2) renewing the definition of crowding distance; (3) introducing a threshold for choosing elitist; (4) reducing some redundant sorting process; (5) developing a self-adaptive arithmetic cross and mutation probability. The modified algorithm can lead to better population diversity than the original NSGA-II. Simulation results prove rationality and validity of the modified NSGA-II. A uniformly distributed Pareto front can be obtained by using the modified NSGA-II. Finally, a multi-objective problem of designing a vehicle-borne radar antenna pedestal is settled with the modified algorithm.

This chapter focuses on the concepts of dominance and Pareto-optimality. It then addresses key issues in applying three basic classes of nature inspired algorithms – evolutionary algorithms, particle swarm optimization, and artificial immune systems, to multi-objective optimization problems. As case studies, the most significant multi-objective algorithm from each class is described in detail. Two of these, NSGA-II and MOPSO, are widely used in engineering optimization, while the others show excellent performances. As hybrid algorithms are becoming increasingly popular in optimization, this chapter includes a brief discussion of hybridization within a multi-objective framework.

Multi-objective optimization problems are frequently encountered in engineering analyses. Optimization techniques in practical applications are devised and evaluated mostly for specific problems, and thus may not be generally applicable when applications vary. In this study we formulate a probability matching based hyper-heuristic scheme, then propose four low-level heuristics which can work coherently with the single point search algorithm MOSA/R (Multi-Objective Simulated Annealing Algorithm based on Re-pick) towards multi-objective optimization problems of various properties, namely DTLZ and UF test instances. Making use of the domination amount, crowding distance and hypervolume calculations, the hyper-heuristic scheme could meet different optimization requirements. The approach developed (MOSA/R-HH) exhibits better and more robust performance compared to AMOSA, NSGA-II and MOEA/D as illustrated in the numerical tests. The outcome of this research may potentially benefit various design and manufacturing practices.

Clonal Proliferation

The human immune system (HIS) is a highly evolved, parallel and distributed adaptive system. The information processing abilities of HIS provide important aspects in the field of computation. This emerging field is referring to as the Artificial Immune Systems (AIS). In recent years, AIS have received significant amount of interest from researchers and industrial sponsors. Applications of AIS include such areas as machine learning, fault diagnosis, computer security and optimization. In this chapter, after surveying the AIS for multi-objective optimization, we will describe two multi-objective optimization algorithms using AIS, the Immune Dominance Clonal Multi-objective Algorithm (IDCMA), and the Nondominated Neighbor Immune Algorithm (NNIA). IDCMA is unique in that its fitness values of current dominated individuals are assigned as the values of a custom distance measure, termed as Ab-Ab affinity, between the dominated individuals and one of the nondominated individuals found so far. According to the values of Ab-Ab affinity, all dominated individuals (antibodies) are divided into two kinds, subdominant antibodies and cryptic antibodies. And local search only applies to the subdominant antibodies while the cryptic antibodies are redundant and have no function during local search, but they can become subdominant (active) antibodies during the subsequent evolution. Furthermore, a new immune operation, Clonal Proliferation is provided to enhance local search. Using the Clonal Proliferation operation, IDCMA reproduces individuals and selects their improved maturated progenies after local search, so single individuals can exploit their surrounding space effectively and the newcomers yield a broader exploration of the search space. The performance comparison of IDCMA with MISA, NSGA-II, SPEA, PAES, NSGA, VEGA, NPGA and HLGA in solving six well-known multi-objective function optimization problems and nine multi-objective 0/1 knapsack problems shows that IDCMA has a good performance in converging to approximate Pareto-optimal fronts with a good distribution. NNIA solves multi-objective optimization problems by using a nondominated neighbor-based selection technique, an immune inspired operator, two heuristic search operators and elitism. The unique selection technique of NNIA only selects minority isolated nondominated individuals in population. The selected individuals are then cloned proportionally to their crowding-distance values before heuristic search. By using the nondominated neighbor-based selection and proportional cloning, NNIA pays more attention to the less-crowded regions of the current trade-off front. We compare NNIA with NSGA-II, SPEA2, PESA-II, and MISA in solving five DTLZ problems, five ZDT problems and three low-dimensional problems. The statistical analysis based on three performance metrics including the Coverage of two sets, the Convergence metric, and the Spacing, show that the unique selection method is effective, and NNIA is an effective algorithm for solving multi-objective optimization problems.

The aim of this paper is to study the production and delivery decision problem in the Manufacturer Order Fulfillment. Owing to the order fulfillment optimization condition of the manufacturer, the multi-objective optimization model of manufacturers' production and delivery has been founded. The solution of the multi-objective optimization model is also very difficult. Fast and Elitist Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA II) have been applied successfully to various test and real-world optimization problems. These population based the algorithm provide a diverse set of non-dominated solutions. The obtained non-dominated set is close to the true Pareto-optimal front. But its convergence to the true Pareto-optimal front is not guaranteed. Hence SBX is used as a local search procedure. The proposed procedure is successfully applied to a special case. The results validate that the algorithm is effective to the multi-objective optimization model.
