One important issue in the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is confirming the consistency of comparison matrix to verify the logical respondent opinion. As inconsistent comparison matrix cannot be used as reference to make decisions, this paper proposes a method using an ant algorithm to modify an inconsistent pairwise weight matrix to be consistent in AHP, called antAHP. This method employs the matrix element as the path in an ant colony optimization to construct the tour. By laying pheromone information on their path, the ants can find the optimal matrix (or tour), which satisfies the consistency and closer to the original judgment of the decision makers. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is able to make consistent matrices, as well as minimize the difference index.

This article presents an application of the ant algorithm to the layout optimization of tree networks. Two different formulations are used to represent the layout optimization problem of tree networks in the proper form required for the application of the ant algorithm. In the first formulation, each link of the base graph, from which the optimum layout is to be selected, is considered as the decision points of the problem. The ants are then required to choose from two options of zero and one, available at each decision point, where the zero option represents the no pipe option for the link. This formulation leads to a very large search space dominated by the infeasible solutions. In the second approach, the network nodes are considered as the decision points of the problem at which the ants are required to choose any of the available links which are provided by a tree-growing algorithm. This formulation leads to a very small search space compared to the first algorithm as each ant is now forced to create a feasible solution. This approach fully exploits the sequential nature of the ant algorithm in building solutions, which is believed to be one of the main advantages of ant algorithms compared to other general heuristics. The proposed methods are applied to find the optimal layout of three benchmark examples in the literature and the results are presented and compared to the existing results. The results clearly reveal the superiority of the ant algorithm and in particular the second formulation to other global optimization methods including genetic algorithms (GAs) for the problems considered.

To achieve computer-aided design for mechanism, one method that can be applied is graph theory. During the process of kinematic structure enumeration using graph theory, isomorphism identification of graphs is an important and complicated problem. The problem is known to be NP-complete problem. It is very important to improve the isomorphism identification efficiency and reliability. The objective of this research work is to use ant algorithm to improve the isomorphism identification efficiency and reliability for epicyclic gear mechanism. Based on mapping property between graphs, the isomorphism identification problem can be changed into a matrix operation problem. Two graphs must be isomorphism if the two matrixes of the two graphs can be exactly by exchanging their certain rows and columns, whereas show the two graphs must be non-isomorphic. A mixed model was developed for isomorphism identification by integrating the ant algorithm and mapping property between graphs. The gratifying results can be achieved while parameters are selected in appropriate situation by using the model. Finally, a computer program has been developed in Visual C++. Some examples confirm the validity of the model. The work will be a reliable isomorphism identification algorithm for intelligent CAD of epicyclic gear mechanism.

The minimal cost maximum flow problem is a classical combinational optimization problem. Based on the characteristic of ant algorithm and the minimal cost maximum flow problem, a graph mode is presented to use the ant algorithm to solve the minimal cost maximum flow problem. Simulation results show that the algorithm can efficiently solve minimal cost maximum flow problem in a relatively short time.

A GIS supported ant algorithm for the linear feature covering problem with distance constraints

DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEMS 2006年第2期42卷 1063-1075页

This paper analyzes a linear feature covering problem (LFCP) with distance constraints, and characterizes the problem by a fuzzy multi-objective (MO) optimization model. An integrated approach combining an ant algorithm (LFCP-ant) and a Geographic Information System (GIS) has been devised to solve the LFCP problem in large scale. The efficacy of the proposed approach is demonstrated using a case study of locating new fire stations in Singapore. A GIS has been used to transform the continuous problem into a discrete one, which is then solved using the LFCP-ant. This algorithm employs a two-phase local search to improve both search efficiency and precision. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

It is difficult to make a robot intercept a moving target, whose trajectory and speed are unknown and dynamically changing, in a comparatively short distance when the environment contains complex objects. This paper presents a new moving target interception algorithm in which the robot can intercept such a target by following many short straight line trajectories. In the algorithm, an intercept point is first forecasted assuming that the robot and the target both move along straight line trajectories. The robot rapidly plans a navigation path to this projected intercept point by using the new ant algorithm. The robot walks along the planned path while continuously monitoring the target. When the robot detects that the target has moved to a new grid it will re-forecast the intercept point and re-plan the navigation path. This process will be repeated until the robot has intercepted the moving target. The simulation results have shown that the algorithm is very effective and can successfully intercept a moving target while moving along a relatively short path no matter whether the environment has complex obstacles or not and the actual trajectory of the moving target is a straight line or a complex curve.

STRUCTURAL AND MULTIDISCIPLINARY OPTIMIZATION 2008年第4期36卷 365-379页

作者： Luh, Guan-Chun Lin, Chun-Yi Tatung Univ Dept Mech Engn Taipei 104 Taiwan

An ant algorithm, consisting of the ant System and API (after "apicalis" in Pachycondyla apicalis) algorithms, was proposed in this study to find optimal truss structures to achieve minimum weight objective under stress, deflection, and kinematic stability constraints. A two-stage approach was adopted in this study;first, the topology of the truss structure was optimized from a given ground structure employing the ant System algorithm due to its discrete characteristic, and then the size and/or shape of member was optimized utilizing the API algorithm. The effectiveness of the proposed ant algorithm was evaluated through numerous different 2-D and 3-D truss-structure problems. The proposed algorithm was observed to find truss structures better than those reported in the literature. Moreover, multiple different truss topologies with almost equal overall weights can be found simultaneously.

Applying ICT devices to WDS makes it possible to introduce also the new concept of Smart WAter Network (SWAN), as a key Smart City subsystem, improving the traditional management of WDS. The possibility of inserting remote-controlled valves and flow meters in a WDS allows to divide a water network into k smaller subsystems, in order to improve the management and protection of WDS. This study proposes a novel technique for water network partitioning based on an ant algorithm that allows to obtain a network partitioning compatible with the hydraulic performance. The technique is applied to a real water network. (C) 2013 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Designing Type-II staggered model ternary copolymers using ant algorithm

CHEMICAL PHYSICS 2010年第1-3期378卷 42-46页

作者： Garg, Aparna Bakhshi, A. K. Univ Delhi Dept Chem Delhi 110007 India

ant algorithm has been applied in combination with the simple negative factor counting (NFC) method and the inverse iteration method (IIM) to the designing of Type-II staggered model ternary copolymers. Two types of copolymers have been studied, one in which the band widths of the homopolymers were identical and their band-gaps were different and vice versa. On the basis of the optimized results obtained in both the cases it has been found that (i) the band-gap of the copolymer is closest to that of the lowest band-gap component and (ii) the component having the lowest ionization potential has the maximum amount in the optimum solution. Further, the optimized results are found to be nearly independent of the seed used. The density of states has also been investigated for all the copolymers. The results obtained are expected to be important guidelines for molecular designing of copolymers with tailor-made conduction properties. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
