Network Models and Optimization: Multiobjective Genetic Algorithm ApproachNetwork models are critical tools in business, management, science and industry. Network Models and Optimization: Multiobjective Genetic Algorithm Approach presents an insightful, comprehensive, and up-to-date treatment of multiple objective genetic algorithms to network optimization problems in many disciplines, such as engineering, computer science, operations research, transportation, telecommunication, and manufacturing. Network Models and Optimization: Multiobjective Genetic Algorithm Approach extensively covers algorithms and applications, including shortest path problems, minimum cost flow problems, maximum flow problems, minimum spanning tree problems, travelling salesman and postman problems, location-allocation problems, project scheduling problems, multistage-based scheduling problems, logistics network problems, communication network problem, and network models in assembly line balancing problems, and airline fleet assignment problems. Network Models and Optimization: Multiobjective Genetic Algorithm Approach can be used both as a student textbook and as a professional reference for practitioners in many disciplines who use network optimization methods to model and solve problems. |

... objective function. The methods are applied to a single point in the search space. The point is then improved along the deepest descending direction gradually through iterations as shown in Fig. 1.2. This point-to-point approach ...
... objective function subject to the problem constraints. In general, the objective function provides the mechanism evaluating each individual. However, its range of values varies from problem to problem. To maintain uniformity over ...
... objective optimization problems, which have been extensively studied for the past 50 years. If there are more than one criterion which must be treated simultaneously, we have multiple objective optimization problems [48, 49]. Multiple ...
... objectives which need to be tackled while respecting various constraints, leading to overwhelming problem complexity. The multiple objective optimization problems have been receiving growing interest from researchers with various ...
... objective optimization problem can be formally represented as follows: max {z1 = f1(x),z2 = f2(x),···,z q = fq(x)} (1.11) s. t. gi(x) ≤ 0, i=1,2,...,m (1.12) x≥0 (1.13) We sometimes graph the multiple objective problem in both ...
