Design of memetic algorithm with Automatic termination scheme and Preferential local search using Adaptive weights

Abstract

newline Memetic algorithms are generally employed in an attempt to find newlinePareto optimal solutions for multiobjective optimization problems by newlinecombining global and local search procedures together This dissertation newlinepresents a design of memetic algorithm that addresses a few of the issues newlinenamely selecting individuals for local search nature of the Local Search newlineLS frequency of LS depth of LS how multiple objectives are to be newlinecombined so that LS can be applied on them Apart from these a mechanism newlineto terminate the evolution of memetic algorithm has also been proposed in newlinethis dissertation newline
