Penalty Function Methods for Constrained.. - Kuri-Morales..   (Correct)

....under analysis; in section 3 we describe the experiments performed; in sections 4 and 5, finally, we present our results and conclusions. 2 Strategies The strategies we selected are variations of what is the most popular approach to constrained optimization: the application of penalty functions [1]. In this approach, a constrained problem is transformed into a non constrained one. The function under consideration is transformed as follows: region feasible x x penalty x f region feasible x x f x F ) 2) and the problem described in (1) turns into the one of ....

....parameters which remain constant throughout. Hence, this is a static penalty method. In our experiments it was impossible to consider special values for R ij in every function and, hence, we decided to utilize 4 penalty levels with R = 100, 200, 500, 1000 (instead of 50, 60 and 90 as reported in [1]) and intervals of (0 10) 10 100) 100 1000) and (1000 ) 2.2 Method J The original description of this method may be found in [3] In it a dynamic (nonstationary) penalty function is defined. That is, the penalty, function changes as the GA proceeds. The definition is as follows: 2 , ....

.... (equality, inequality, linear and nonlinear) The success of EAs in global optimization has triggered a considerable amount of research regarding the development of mechanisms able to incorporate information about the constraints of a problem into the fitness function of the EA used to optimize it [4, 17]. So far, the most common approach adopted in the evolutionary optimization literature to deal with constrained search spaces is the use of penalty functions. When using a penalty function, the amount of constraint violation is used to punish or penalize an infeasible solution so that feasible ....

Despite the popularity of penalty functions, they have several drawbacks from which the main one is that they require a careful fine tuning of the penalty factors that indicates the degree of penalization to be applied [4]. Recently, some researchers have suggested the use of multiobjective optimization concepts to handle constraints in EAs (see for example [4] This paper introduces a new approach that is based on an evolution strategy that was originally proposed for multiobjective optimization: the Pareto ....

In this paper, we propose an approach in which domain knowledge (using the concept of cultural algorithm) extracted during a run of an evolutionary algorithm is used to guide the search more eciently in constrained optimization problems [18, 3]. 2 NOTIONS OF CULTURAL ALGORITHMS Some social researchers have suggested that culture might be symbolically encoded and transmitted within and between populations, as another inheritance mechanism [6, 20] Using this idea, Reynolds [21] developed a computational model in which cultural ....

Among the several approaches that have been proposed as an alternative to the use of penalty functiones, there is a group of techniques in which the constraints of a problem are handled as objective functions (i.e. a single objective constrained problem is restated as an unconstrained ....
