Niching is an important and widely used technique in evolutionary multi-objective optimization. Its applications mainly focus on maintaining diversity and avoiding early convergence to local optimum. Recently, a special class of…
In this article we propose a descent method for equality and inequality constrained multiobjective optimization problems (MOPs) which generalizes the steepest descent method for unconstrained MOPs by Fliege and Svaiter to constrained…
In this paper we present two new approaches for finding good starting solutions to the planar p-median problem. Both methods rely on a discrete approximation of the continuous model that restricts the facility locations to the given set of…
Primal-dual interior-point methods solve constrained convex optimization problems to tight tolerances with speed and robustness. Their solutions are also efficiently differentiable with respect to the problem data through the implicit…
In literature, Clustered Shortest-Path Tree Problem (CluSPT) is an NP-hard problem. Previous studies often search for an optimal solution in relatively large space. To enhance the performance of the search process, two approaches are…
To solve the autonomous navigation problem in complex environments, an efficient motion planning approach is newly presented in this paper. Considering the challenges from large-scale, partially unknown complex environments, a three-layer…
Automatically tuning software configuration for optimizing a single performance attribute (e.g., minimizing latency) is not trivial, due to the nature of the configuration systems (e.g., complex landscape and expensive measurement). To deal…
The unit commitment (UC) problem is a nonlinear, high-dimensional, highly constrained, mixed-integer power system optimization problem and is generally solved in the literature considering minimizing the system operation cost as the only…
This paper develops a unified distributed method for solving two classes of constrained networked optimization problems, i.e., optimal consensus problem and resource allocation problem with non-identical set constraints. We first transform…
The two-dimensional non-oriented bin packing problem with due dates packs a set of rectangular items, which may be rotated by 90 degrees, into identical rectangular bins. The bins have equal processing times. An item's lateness is the…
Chandrasekaran, Parrilo and Willsky (2010) proposed a convex optimization problem to characterize graphical model selection in the presence of unobserved variables. This convex optimization problem aims to estimate an inverse covariance…
Locality is a crucial property for efficiently optimising black-box problems with randomized search heuristics. However, in practical applications, it is not likely to always find such a genotype encoding of candidate solutions that this…
Individual agents in natural systems like flocks of birds or schools of fish display a remarkable ability to coordinate and communicate in local groups and execute a variety of tasks efficiently. Emulating such natural systems into drone…
We introduce an efficient first-order primal-dual method for the solution of nonsmooth PDE-constrained optimization problems. We achieve this efficiency through not solving the PDE or its linearisation on each iteration of the optimization…
Algorithms developed for scheduling applications on heterogeneous multiprocessor system focus on asingle objective such as execution time, cost or total data transmission time. However, if more than oneobjective (e.g. execution cost and…
In evolutionary multi-objective optimization, the indicator-based subset selection problem involves finding a subset of points that maximizes a given quality indicator. Local search is an effective approach for obtaining a high-quality…
During our earlier research, it was recognised that in order to be successful with an indirect genetic algorithm approach using a decoder, the decoder has to strike a balance between being an optimiser in its own right and finding feasible…
Multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) have become essential tools for solving multi-objective optimization problems (MOPs), making their running time analysis crucial for assessing algorithmic efficiency and guiding practical…
We present a general method for obtaining strong bounds for discrete optimization problems that is based on a concept of branching duality. It can be applied when no useful integer programming model is available, and we illustrate this with…
In various scenarios, a single phase of modelling and solving is either not sufficient or not feasible to solve the problem at hand. A standard approach to solving AI planning problems, for example, is to incrementally extend the planning…
