In order to optimize the dimension of a manipulator, the optimization requirements are analyzed. Then the mathematical model and optimization objectives are established. Next, the lengths of the manipulator are optimized by Matlab genetic algorithm optimization toolbox. The structural strength and bearing installation space are considered at the same time. The trajectory and transmission angle are compared. Finally, the lengths which meet the use requirements are obtained. This optimization method provides a reference for similar mechanism.

Main objective of this study is to develop hybrid optimization method for reducing investment portfolio risk. The methods selected in this study are the combination of Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) and genetic algorithm optimization approach. Three stocks from Malaysian Stock Exchange are selected in developing the investment portfolio namely Malayan Banking Berhad, Hap Seng Consolidated Berhad and Top Glove Corporation Berhad. Result indicates the modern portfolio theory can give optimal portfolio weightage with maximum return for tolerate level of investment risk. In addition, genetic algorithm enhanced the optimal searching method to find global minimum of investment risk. Result shows the minimum portfolio risk in objective function is 2.122118 with implementation genetic algorithm optimization. The optimal combination of portfolio investment is 32.24 % in asset A (Malayan Banking Berhad), 52.37 % in asset B (Hap Seng Consolidated Berhad), and 15.30 % in asset C (Top Gove Corporation Berhad). The important of this study is it will assist investor in making better decision to optimize their return for given level of investment risk. Furthermore, this hybrid method provides a better accuracy of prediction for return of investment and portfolio risk.

In steelmaking plant, the process times of machines change frequently and randomly for the reason of metallurgical principle. When those change happen, the plant scheduling and caster operation must respond to keep the optimal performance profile of plant. Therefore, the integration of plant scheduling and caster operation is a crucial task. This paper presents a mixed-integer programming model and a hybrid optimized algorithm for caster operation and plant scheduling, which combine the genetic algorithm optimization and CDFM process status verification. Data experiments illustrate the efficiency of our model and algorithm.

This paper considers optimal synthesis of a special type of four-bar linkages. Combination of this optimal four-bar linkage with on of it's cognates and elimination of two redundant cognates will result in a Watt's six-bar mechanism, which generates straight and parallel motion. This mechanism can be utilized for legged machines. The advantage of this mechanism is that the leg remains straight during it's contact period and because of it's parallel motion, the legs can be as wide as desired to increase contact area and decrease the number of legs required to keep body's stability statically and dynamically. “Genetic algorithm” optimization method is used to find optimal lengths. It is especially useful for problems like the coupler curve equation which are completely nonlinear or extremely difficult to solve.
