Title
A genetic local tuning algorithm for a class of combinatorial networks design problems
Abstract
Abstract—Experimental evidences of many,genetic algorithm researchers is that hybridizing a GA with a local search (LS) heuristics is beneficial. It combines the ability of the GA to widely sample a search space with a local search Hill-Climbing ability. This letter presents a genetic local search (GALS) mechanism applied on two stages on the initial genetic population. An elite nondominated set of solutions is selected, an intermediate popu- lation (IP) composed,of the elite and the improved solutions by natural genetic operators is constructed and then a Nelder and Mead simplex downhill method (SDM) is applied to some solutions of the IP. Experimental results from solving a 20-nodes topology design and capacity assignment (TDCA) problem suggest that our approach provides superior results compared to four simple GA implementations found in the literature. Index Terms—Capacity assignment, combinatorial optimiza- tion, genetic algorithms, local search, topology design.
