This paper presents a method of optimizing the elements of a hierarchy of fuzzy-rule-based systems (FRBSs). It is a hybridization of a genetic algorithm (GA) and the cross-entropy (CE) method, which… (More)
In this paper, a new multiple population based meta-heuristic to solve combinatorial optimization problems is introduced. This meta-heuristic is called Golden Ball (GB), and it is based on soccer… (More)
Bat algorithm is a population metaheuristic proposed in 2010 which is based on the echolocation or bio-sonar characteristics of microbats. Since its first implementation, the bat algorithm has been… (More)
Nowadays, the development of new metaheuristics for solving optimization problems is a topic of interest in the scientific community. In the literature, a large number of techniques of this kind can… (More)
A real-world newspaper distribution problem with recycling policy is tackled in this work. In order to meet all the complex restrictions contained in such a problem, it has been modeled as a rich… (More)
Throughout the history, Genetic Algorithms (GA) have been widely applied to a broad range of combinatorial optimization problems. Its easy applicability to areas such as transport or industry has… (More)
Combinatorial optimization is a field that receives much attention in artificial intelligence. Many problems of this type can be found in the literature, and a large number of techniques have been… (More)
In this paper, we describe a new meta-heuristic to solve routing problems. This meta-heuristic is called Golden Ball (GB), and it is based on soccer concepts. To prove its quality we apply it to the… (More)
Since their first formulation, genetic algorithms (GAs) have been one of the most widely used techniques to solve combinatorial optimization problems. The basic structure of the GAs is known by the… (More)
