A PROBABILITY-DRIVEN SEARCH ALGORITHM FOR SOLVING MULTI-OBJECTIVE OPTIMIZATION PROBLEMS

This paper proposes a new probabilistic algorithm for solving multi-objective optimization problems – Probability-Driven Search Algorithm. The algorithm uses probabilities to control the process in search of Pareto optimal solutions. Especially, we use the absorbing Markov Chain to argue the convergence of the algorithm. We test this approach by implementing the algorithm on some benchmark … Read more

A NEW PROBABILISTIC ALGORITHM FOR SOLVING NONLINEAR EQUATIONS SYSTEMS

In this paper, we consider a class of optimization problems having the following characteristics: there exists a fixed number k which does not depend on the size n of the problem such that if we randomly change the value of k variables, it has the ability to find a new solution that is better than … Read more

A New Stochastic Algorithm for Engineering Optimization Problems

This paper proposes a new stochastic algorithm, Search via Probability (SP) algorithm, for single-objective optimization problems. The SP algorithm uses probabilities to control the process of searching for optimal solutions. We calculate probabilities of the appearance of a better solution than the current one on each iteration, and on the performance of SP algorithm we … Read more
