This paper presents an exhaustive study of the Simple Genetic Algorithm (SGA), Steady State (SSGA) and Replacement (RGA). The performance each method is analyzed in relation to several operators types crossover, selection mutation, as well probabilities crossover mutation with without dynamic change its values during optimization process. In addition, space reduction design variables global elitism are analyzed. All GAs effective when used best operations parameters. For GA, both sets...
In this paper, we discuss multiobjective optimization problems solved by evolutionary algorithms.

The in both analytical electromagnetic show effectiveness.
In this paper, the constraints, in multiobjective optimization problems, are treated as objectives. The constraints transformed two new objectives: one is based on a penalty function and other made equal to number of violated constraints. To ensure convergence feasible Pareto optimal front, constrained individuals eliminated during elitist process. treatment infeasible required some relevant modifications standard Parks Miller technique. Analytical electromagnetic problems presented results...

This paper is concerned with the problem of evaluating genetic algorithm (GA) operator combinations. Each GA operator, like crossover or mutation, can be implemented according to several different formulations. shows that: 1) performances operators are not independent and 2) merit figures for measuring a performance conflicting. In order account this structure, multiobjective analysis methodology proposed. employed evaluation new (real-biased crossover) that shown bring enhancement. A was...

The result of a multiobjective evolutionary optimization is an efficient solution set surrounded by other candidate points. To choose final solution, we can perform sensitivity study. Applying this methodology, disturbances that occur in real-world design problems are not neglected. This paper presents easy way to the analysis directly from data generated stochastic process. No additional function evaluation required. As example, have solved some concerning electromagnetic devices

Uncertainties are commonly present in optimization systems, and when they considered the design stage, problem usually is called a robust problem. Robust problems can be treated as noisy problems, worst case minimization or by considering mean standard deviation values of objective constraint functions. The scenario preferred effects uncertainties on nominal solution critical to application under consideration. Based this scenario, we developed [I]RMOEA (Interval Multi-Objective Evolutionary...
