Investigating the Effect of Imbalance Between Convergence and Diversity in Evolutionary Multiobjective Algorithms

TL;DR: This paper characterizes an imbalanced MOP by clearly defining properties and indicating the reasons for the existing EMO algorithms’ difficulties in solving them, and presents 14 imbalanced problems, with and without constraints.

Assessment of the CO2 emission and cost reduction performance of a low-carbon-emission concrete mix design using an optimal mix design system

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the appropriateness and the reduction performance of the low-carbon-emission concrete (LCEC) mix design system and the deduced mix design results using an evolutionary algorithm (EA), the optimal mix design method, which minimizes the CO2 emission of the concrete mix design.
