A Heuristic Algorithm Based on Line-up Competition and Generalized Pattern Search for Solving Integer and Mixed Integer Non-linear Optimization Problems
Abstract:The global optimization of integer and mixed integer non-linear problems has a lot of applications in engineering. In this paper a heuristic algorithm is developed using line-up competition and generalized pattern search to solve integer and mixed integer non-linear optimization problems subjected to various linear or nonlinear constraints. Due to its ability to find more than one local or global optimal points, the proposed algorithm is more beneficial for multimodal problems. The performance of this algorith… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
