Narrow Results

This paper describes the origin and the significant contribution of the development of the hybrid simulated annealing and genetic algorithms (HSAGA) approach to obtaining global optimization. HSAGA provides an insightful way to solve complex optimization problems. It is a combination of the metaheuristic approaches of simulated annealing and novel genetic algorithms to solving a nonlinear objective function with uncertain technical coefficients in industrial production management problems. The proposed novel hybrid method is designed to search for global optimization for the nonlinear objective function and to search for the best feasible solutions to the decision variables. Simulated experiments were carried out rigorously to reflect the advantages of the method. A description of the well-developed method and the advanced computational experiment with the Matlab^® technical tool is presented. An industrial production management optimization problem is solved using the HSAGA technique. The results are very promising.

Soft computing has attracted many research scientists, decision makers and practicing researchers in recent years as powerful computational intelligent techniques, for solving unlimited number of complex real-world problems particularly related to research area of optimization. Under the uncertain and turbulence environment, classical and traditional approaches are unable to obtain a complete solution with satisfaction for the real-world problems on optimization. Therefore, new global optimization methods are required to handle these issues seriously. One such method is hybrid Genetic algorithms and Pattern search, a generic, flexible, robust, and versatile framework for solving complex problems of global optimization and search in real-world applications.
