A novel hybrid evolutionary programming method for function optimization

TL;DR: This paper is concerned with the development of an evolutionary programming method, which is functionally, and structurally equivalent to BEP, but still can be used effectively to optimize functions having strong fitness dependency between parents and their offspring.

A Genetic Fuzzy-Rule-Based Classifier for Land Cover Classification From Hyperspectral Imagery

TL;DR: An extensive comparative analysis, using an Earth Observing-1 Hyperion satellite image, highlights the quality advantages of the proposed system, when compared with nonfuzzy classifiers, commonly employed in hyperspectral classification tasks.

Sergey Peigin, +1 more
- 01 Nov 2004 - 
TL;DR: The results demonstrated that the approach combines high accuracy of optimization and efficient handling of various non-linear constraints with high computational efficiency and robustness and allowed the method to be used in a demanding engineering environment.

Supplies from developing countries: Optimal order quantities under loss risks☆

TL;DR: An interesting observation is made is that the optimal order quantity of a material need not be monotonic in expected loss of that material, and explanations as to why the expected loss need not been monotony are offered.

Optimal design of submarine pipeline routes by genetic algorithm with different constraint handling techniques

TL;DR: The results indicate the importance of clearly characterizing feasible and infeasible solutions, according to the classification of design criteria as “soft” or “hard” respectively, and that the static penalty approach is not adequate, while the other techniques performed better, especially the e-Constrained and the Ho-Shimizu methods.
