A multi-objective optimization problem is an area concerned an optimization problem involving more than one objective function to be optimized simultaneously. Several techniques have been proposed to solve Multi-Objective Optimization Problems. The two most famous algorithms are: NSGA-II and MOEA/D. harmonysearch is relatively a new heuristic evolutionary algorithm that has successfully proven to solve single objective optimization problems. In this paper, we hybridized two well-known multi-objective optimization evolutionary algorithms: NSGA-II and MOEA/D with harmonysearch. We studied the efficiency of the proposed novel algorithms to solve multi-objective optimization problems. To evaluate our work, we used well-known datasets: ZDT, DTLZ and CEC2009. We evaluate the algorithm performance using Inverted Generational Distance (IGD). The results showed that the proposed algorithms outperform in solving problems with multiple local fronts in terms of IGD as compared to the original ones (i.e., NSGA-II and MOEA/D).

The set covering problem (SCP) seeks to find a subset of columns that have the least sum of costs to cover a set of rows. It is an NP-hard problem, and finds a lot of real world applications. In this paper, we present a harmony search algorithm (HSA) to solve the SCP. It uses a greedy construction procedure to generate an initial harmony memory, and presents a repair operator to guarantee the feasibility of new generated solutions. New solutions are further improved by a local search procedure. The HSA is tested on 45 instances from literature. Simulation results and comparisons show that HSA can get high quality solutions of the set covering problem.

This paper proposes the use of series FACTS devices to relieve congestion and enhance the security in restructured power system. harmony search algorithm as a novel heuristic algorithm is employed for optimal locating and sizing of series FACTS devices. In order to reduce the solution space and to pinpoint the lines which are more suitable for FACTS device placement line outage sensitivity factors is employed. Two different objective functions are considered in the optimization problem, the first one is the total congestion cost and the other is total generation cost. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed method and show its efficiency, the simulations are carried out on IEEE 14-bus test system. The results of the proposed method are compared with those obtained by particle swarm optimization and with those obtained by congestion rent contribution method. (C) 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Distribution network reconfiguration is a complex and discrete nonlinear combinatory optimization problem. In this paper, an adaptive harmony search algorithm based on positive feedback (PFAHSA) is proposed to solve the problem for reducing power loss in distribution systems. The PFAHSA incorporates a local optimal method based on positive feedback mechanism into traditional harmony improvising criteria for better utilization of harmony memory (HM) and higher convergence speed. The algorithm parameters are updated adaptively by modified entropy, which measures the diversity of HM, to avoid prematurity and improve search success rate. The proposed method is testified on the IEEE 33- and 69-bus systems and is compared with other conventional approaches. Simulation results show that the proposed method features faster optimization speed and better global convergence performance.

Flexible manufacturing system is one of the industrial branches that highly competitive and rapidly expand. Globalization of the industrial system has encouraged the development of distributed manufacturing, including flexible manufacturing system. As such, the complexity of the problem faced in this new environment promotes current researcher to develop various approaches in optimizing the production scheduling. Approaches such as petri net, ant colony, genetic algorithm, intelligent agents, particle swarm optimization, and tabu search are used to apprehend optimization issues. In reality, maintenance is one of the core parts which is important to the manufacturing scheduling as it will affect greatly toward the manufacturing scheduling when the machine breakdown happen. Unfortunately, most approaches disregard the preventive maintenance in the production scheduling problem. In this paper, a harmony search algorithm is introduced to address the problem which includes maintenance. The problem description is successfully represented and the algorithm performance is studied with several parameter tunings.

harmonysearch (HS) is a newly developed derivativefree and meta-heuristic algorithm mimicking the improvisation process of musicians, which has been very successful in a wide variety of optimization problems. A hybrid optimization method is proposed for self-tuning pulse coupled neural network (PCNN) parameters, a biologically inspired spiking neural network, based on harmony search algorithm and simulated annealing (SA) idea and was used to detect sintering pellets image edges automatically and successfully. The effective of the proposed method is verified by simulation results, that is to say, the quality of the sintering pellets grayscale image edge detection is much better and parameters are set automatically.

To improve the performance of the harmony search algorithm and enable the processing of increasingly complicated optimization problems, a global harmony search algorithm based on tent chaos map and elite reverse learning (HS-TE) has been proposed. The algorithm uses the tent chaos map to initialize the population and adopts the elite reverse learning strategy to optimize the iterative process. The method reduces the algorithm's dependence on the initial solution, improves the search optimization ability, enhances the diversity of the population, and establishes adaptive parameters to control the development and exploration of the iterative process, which is beneficial to improving the algorithm's search ability. Create test experiments: Various HS algorithms perform classic benchmark function tests. The experimental test data shows that the algorithm is better than the current five improved harmony search algorithms and has better convergence and accuracy. The algorithm is used to improve the penalty parameters and kernel function parameters of SVR, and then use the optimized SVR to perform regression prediction on the daily opening number of the Shanghai Stock Exchange. According to the experimental results, the upgraded SVR provides better prediction performance. It works both in theory and in real life and can be used to predict the Shanghai Securities Composite Index.

This paper is concerned with the global adaptive harmonysearch (GAHS) algorithms for solving optimization problems. GAHS employs global information to the adaptive harmony search algorithm. The proposed GAHS algorithm is tested numerically and contrasted with improved harmonysearch (AHS) algorithm, and particle swarm optimization (PSO). Our simulation results reveal that GAHS is superior to AHS and PSO in terms of robustness and efficiency.
