We have used a multi-objective genetic algorithm to optimize pseudopotentials for force accuracy and computational efficiency. Force accuracy is determined by comparing interatomic forces generated using the pseudopotentials and forces generated using the full-potential linearized augmented-plane wave method. This force-based optimization approach is motivated by applications where interatomic forces are important, including material interfaces, crystal defects, and molecular dynamics. Our method generates Pareto sets of optimized pseudopotentials containing various compromises between accuracy and efficiency. We have tested our method for LiF, Si0.5Ge0.5, and Mo and compared the performance of our pseudopotentials with pseudopotentials available from the ABINIT library. We show that the optimization can generate pseudopotentials with comparable accuracy (in terms of force matching and equation of state) to pseudopotentials in the literature while sometimes significantly improving computational efficiency. For example, we generated pseudopotentials for one system tested that reduced computational work by 71% without loss of accuracy. These results suggest our method can be used to generate pseudopotentials on demand that are tuned for a user's specific application, affording gains in computational efficiency.

Feature subset selection is the most important and difficult task in the field of fatigue fracture image identification. In this paper, a new method which is hybrid of linear prediction, called LP-Based multi-objective genetic algorithms (LP-MOGA) is proposed for fatigue fracture feature subset selection. In LP-MOGA, predicted new solutions with elite solutions by liner prediction to improve the local search ability. For fatigue fracture identification, texture character and fractal dimension feature are extracted for original features;and then, feature subset selection is performed by LP-MOGA, in which, the objective functions minimize error identification rate, undetected identification rate and selected featured number;at last, the identification is executed by quadratic distance classifier. Compared with other methods, the experiment results of actual data demonstrate the presented algorithm is effective.

This paper addresses inventory problem for the products that are sold in monopolistic and captive markets experiencing hybrid backorder (i.e., fixed backorder and time-weighted backorder). The problem with stochastic demand is studied first by developing single objective (cost) inventory model. Computational results of a numerical problem show the effectiveness of hybrid backorder inventory model over fixed backorder inventory model. The model is later extended to multi-objective inventory model. Three objectives of multi-objective inventory model are the minimization of total cost, minimization of stockout units and minimization of the frequency of stockout. A multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) algorithm is used to solve the inventory model and generate Pareto curves. The Pareto curves obtained for hybrid backorder inventory model are compared with the existing Pareto curves that are based on fixed backorder. The results show a substantial reduction in stockout units and frequency of stockout with a marginal rise in cost with proposed hybrid backorder inventory system in comparison to existing fixed backorder inventory system. Sensitivity analysis is done to study the robustness of total cost, order quantity, and safety stock factor with the change in holding cost. In the end, the performance of the MOPSO algorithm is compared with the multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA). The metrics that are used for the performance measurement of the algorithms are error ratio, spacing and maximum spread. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A structured motif is defined as a collection of highly conserved simple motifs with pre-specified sizes and gaps between them. In structured motif extraction, while all simple motifs are unknown, all gap ranges are known earlier. In this paper, we propose a novel method using multi-objective evolutionary algorithm to extract automatically extended structured motifs in which all simple motifs and gap ranges are unknown. The method employs three conflicting objectives;similarity and support maximization and total gap range minimization. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first effort in this direction. The proposed method can be applied to any data set with a sequential character. Furthermore, it allows any choice of similarity measures for finding motifs. We compare our method with the two well-known structured motif extraction methods, EXMOTIF and RISOTTO. Experiments conducted on synthetics and real data set demonstrate that the proposed method exhibits good performance over the other methods in terms of runtime and accuracy. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

Wiper blade of automobile is among those types of flexible system that is required to be operated in quite high velocity to be efficient in high load conditions. This causes some annoying noise and deteriorated vision for occupants. The modeling and control of vibration and low-frequency noise of an automobile wiper blade using soft computing techniques are focused in this study. The flexible vibration and noise model of wiper system are estimated using artificial intelligence system identification approach. A PD-type fuzzy logic controller and a PI-type fuzzy logic controller are combined in cascade with active force control (AFC)-based iterative learning (IL). A multiobjectivegeneticalgorithm is also used to determine the scaling factors of the inputs and outputs of the PID-FLC as well as AFC-based IL gains. The results from the proposed controller namely fuzzy force learning (FFL) are compared with those of a conventional lead-lag-type controller and the wiper bang-bang input. Designing controllers based on classical methods could become tedious, especially for systems with high-order model. In contrast, FFL controller design requires only tuning of some scaling factors in the control loop and hence is much simpler and efficient than classical design methods.

In this investigation, the multi-objective selection and optimization of a gantry machine tool is achieved by analytic hierarchy process, multi-objective genetic algorithm, and Pareto-Edgeworth-Grierson-multi-criteria decision-making method. The objectives include maximum static deformation, the first four natural frequencies, mass, and fabrication cost of the gantry. Further structural optimization of the best configuration was accomplished using multi-objective genetic algorithm to improve all objectives except cost. The result of sensitivity analysis reveals the major contribution of columns of gantry with respect to the crossbeam's contribution. After determining the most effective geometrical parameters using sensitivity analysis, multi-objective genetic algorithm was performed to obtain the Pareto-optimal solutions. In order to choose the final configuration, Pareto-Edgeworth-Grierson-multi-criteria decision-making was applied. The procedure outlined in this article could be used for selection and optimization of gantry as quantitative method as opposed to traditional qualitative method exploited in industrial application for design of gantry.

In this paper, the original mooring system is optimized and improved under the condition of considering the water flow and water depth. The whole system is divided into a buoy system and a mooring system. For the buoy system, the moment of gravity of the buoy at the mean sea level is analyzed. For mooring system, the anchor cable will appear elastic deformation under the action of water flow force. So the particle spring model is constructed to analyze the force of the catenary segment. Then the new wind speed critical value is obtained. Thus, the state of existence of the chain is determined. A general optimization index is set up. And the optimal solution of the optimization index is calculated according to the multi-objective genetic algorithm. Thus the design of mooring system is completed.

A multi-objective parameter identification method for modeling of Li-ion battery performance is presented. Terminal voltage and surface temperature curves at 15 degrees C and 30 degrees C are used as four identification objectives. The Pareto fronts of two types of Li-ion battery are obtained using the modified multi-objective genetic algorithm NSGA-II and the final identification results are selected using the multiple criteria decision making method TOPSIS. The simulated data using the final identification results are in good agreement with experimental data under a range of operating conditions. The validation results demonstrate that the modified NSGA-II and TOPSIS algorithms can be used as robust and reliable tools for identifying parameters of multi-physics models for many types of Li-ion batteries.
