Due to the huge popularity of wireless networks, future designs will not only consider the provided capacity, but also the induced exposure, the corresponding power consumption, and the economic cost. As these requirements are contradictory, it is not straightforward to design optimal wireless networks. Those contradicting demands have to satisfy certain requirements in practice. In this paper, a combination of two algorithms, a genetic algorithm and a quasi-particle swarm optimization, is developed, yielding a novel hybrid algorithm that generates further optimizations of indoor wireless network planning solutions, which is named hybrid indoor genetic optimization algorithm. The algorithm is compared with a heuristic network planner and composite differential evolution algorithm for three scenarios and two different environments. Results show that our hybrid-algorithm is effective for optimization of wireless networks which satisfy four demands: maximum coverage for a user-defined capacity, minimum power consumption, minimal cost, and minimal human exposure.

As one representative of last-mile logistics in intelligent transportation systems, the on-demand food delivery (OFD) service has gained rapid market growth but also faces multiple challenges. One of the critical issues is the order dispatching problem (ODP) with an NP-hard nature, which refers to dispatching a large number of orders to riders reasonably in real time with very limited decision time. To address the ODP, this paper proposes an optimization algorithm based on graph neural networks (GNN) by combining the advantages of machine learning (ML) techniques and operational research (OR) methods: 1) The ML component learns to reduce the solution space by filtering out inappropriate riders for each order, handling the large-scale complexity of ODP. Specifically, we present a rider modeling approach by using GNN to better characterize rider information;besides, two attention mechanisms are designed to adaptively learn the matching relationship between riders and orders. 2) The OR component ensures the solution quality with a greedy and regret value-based dispatching heuristic. Extensive experiments are conducted on real-world datasets to evaluate the performance of the proposed method by comparing it with other existing models and algorithms. The results show that the design of our ML model is effective in yielding better prediction results, and the proposed GNN-based optimization algorithm can effectively and efficiently solve the ODP by improving delivery efficiency and customer satisfaction.

Swarm intelligence is a research field that models the collective behavior in swarms of insects or animals. Recently, a kind of Drosophila (fruit fly) inspired optimization algorithm, called fruit fly optimization algorithm (FOA), has been developed. This paper presents a variation on original FOA technique, named multi-swarm fruit fly optimization algorithm (MFOA), employing multi-swarm behavior to significantly improve the performance. In the MFOA approach, several sub-swarms moving independently in the search space with the aim of simultaneously exploring global optimal at the same time, and local behavior between sub-swarms are also considered. In addition, several other improvements for original FOA technique is also considered, such as: shrunk exploring radius using osphresis, and a new distance function. Application of the proposed MFOA approach on several benchmark functions and parameter identification of synchronous generator shows an effective improvement in its performance over original FOA technique.

A numerical method for determining the five-parameter model of photovoltaic cells is presented in the paper. Explicit equations are applied to analyze the relations between parameters which are solved by an optimization algorithm. Lambert W function is implemented to convert the I-V characteristic implicit equation to an explicit one, so the output current and voltage of photovoltaic cells can be obtained by substituting the five parameters into the explicit I-V equation. Several cells are used to verify the accuracy of the proposed method from different aspects. It is found that the proposed method gives precise results and can be applicable to various types of photovoltaic cells. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Reconstructions of genome-scale metabolic networks from different organisms have become popular in recent years. Metabolic engineering can simulate the reconstruction process to obtain desirable phenotypes. In previous studies, optimization algorithms have been implemented to identify the near-optimal sets of knockout genes for improving metabolite production. However, previous works contained premature convergence and the stop criteria were not clear for each case. Therefore, this study proposes an algorithm that is a hybrid of the ant colony optimization algorithm and flux balance analysis (ACOFBA) to predict near optimal sets of gene knockouts in an effort to maximize growth rates and the production of certain metabolites. Here, we present a case study that uses Baker's yeast, also known as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, as the model organism and target the rate of vanillin production for optimization. The results of this study are the growth rate of the model organism after gene deletion and a list of knockout genes. The ACOFBA algorithm was found to improve the yield of vanillin in terms of growth rate and production compared with the previous algorithms. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A large amount of calculation exists in a complex engineering optimization problem. The swarm intelligence algorithm can improve calculation efficiency and accuracy of complex engineering optimization. In the existing research, the surrogate model and the swarm intelligence algorithm are only two independent tools to solve the optimization problem. In this paper, we propose the surrogate-assisted crow swarm intelligent search optimization algorithm (SACSA) by combining the characteristics of swarm intelligence algorithm and surrogate model. The proposed algorithm utilizes the initial samples to construct the surrogate model, and then the improved crow search algorithm (CSA) is applied to obtain optimal solution. Finally, the proposed algorithm is compared with EGO, MSSR, ARSM-ISES, AMGO and SEUMRE, MPS, HAM algorithms. The comparison results show that the proposed algorithm can find a global optimal solution with fewer samples and is beneficial to improving the efficiency and accuracy of calculation.

The conventional design of filters requires numerous simulations, taking a substantial amount of time and computational resources and requiring extensive expertise. This article presents a new method to design filters using an optimization algorithm, which can use the fitness function to evaluate the filters autonomously. Experimental results from designing two common filters, including a microstrip filter and a waveguide filter, demonstrate that the proposed approach produces satisfactory results.

In any organization and business, efficient scheduling cause increased efficiency, reducing the time required to complete jobs and increasing an organization's profitability in a competitive environment. Also, the flow-shop scheduling problem is a vital type of scheduling problem with many real-world applications. Flow-shop scheduling has numerous exciting applications in various manufacturing and industrial domains. During the past eras, the growing interests in the arrangement of flow shops with diverse objective functions (for example, minimizing the makespan and flow-time) were observed. The permutation flow-shop is formulated as mixed-integer programming, and it is an NP-Hard problem. Therefore, in this paper, a novel method is provided to decrease the makespan and completion time. Since parallel algorithms use some computing elements to accelerate the search and present a new exploration pattern that is frequently suitable to enhance the quality of the results, in this research, a parallel ant colony optimization algorithm is employed to solve the mentioned problem. The Matlab simulation setting in Net Beans IDE 8.0.2 and Java to simulate the introduced method is applied. According to the obtained results, the suggested procedure has more efficiency than the previous methods. The Matlab simulator outcomes have indicated that the average response time has been improved compared to the PSO-SA and HBC algorithms. Also, the makespan is improved in comparison to GA and MOACSA.

The continuous increase of the distributed energy resources (DERs) penetration levels leads to voltage stability problems in the distribution system. One of the approaches for the mentioned emerging challenge is the proper placement of automatic voltage regulators (AVRs). This paper investigates the optimal placement and sizing of AVRs in a distribution network by presenting a new modification of the teaching-learning-based optimization (TLBO) algorithm. The objective functions consist of minimizing the distribution system voltage deviation, energy generation cost, and electrical losses. The modification improves the convergence velocity and accuracy of the TLBO algorithm using the combination of mutation technique and quasi-opposition-based-learning concept. This paper compares the performance of the proposed algorithm with other famous evolutionary algorithms. The test distribution system contains installed DERs that work more efficiently after the placement of AVRs based on the mentioned objective functions by the proposed optimization algorithm. The simulation results display the best optimization algorithms for AVRs placement with a significant level of less than 0.10 (ie, probability-value). The proposed multiobjective optimization algorithm's considerable merit is the accuracy and convergence velocity in solving this specific optimization problem.
