Popis
Shrnutí:The global optimization of mixed integer non-linear problems (MINLP), constitutes a major area of research in many engineering applications. In this work, a comparison is made between an algorithm based on Simulated Annealing (M-SIMPSA) and two Evolutionary Algorithms: Genetic Algorithms (GAs) and Evolution Strategies (ESs). Results concerning the handling of constraints, through penalty functions, with and without penalty parameter setting, are also reported. Evolutionary Algorithms seem a valid approach to the optimization of non-linear problems. Evolution Strategies emerge as the best algorithm in most of the problems studied.
