Optimizing on a Global Scale with Random Search | Chapter 4 | Mathematics and Computer Science: Contemporary Developments Vol. 6

The challenge of identifying the global optimum in a space containing numerous local optima is a fundamental problem encountered by all systems capable of adapting and learning. GA offers a thorough search process for optimization.

 

Genetic Algorithms (GA) can be used to solve optimization issues, whether they are continuous or discrete in nature. This study uses binary coded GA approaches to function optimization, utilizing a variable length representation scheme and updated genetic operators.

 

Genes and chromosomes constitute the fundamental components of the binary genetic algorithm. The traditional binary genetic algorithm encodes optimization parameters into binary code strings. A gene in GA is represented as a binary digit. To create a population of individuals that represent search space points using the evolution model, the search process iteratively transforms a population of mathematical objects (typically fixed-length binary character strings) with fitness values into a new population of offspring objects. This is accomplished through the application of Darwinian natural selection and operations that are patterned after natural genetic operations such as crossover and mutation. Each individual is evaluated using an objective function for fitness. Consequently, generational evolution is inclined to yield fitter individuals and enhanced solutions within the search space. This process continues until the problem is resolved or no further improvements are observed.

Development of an Enhanced Supply Chain Algorithm for ERP Systems Using ACO, Genetic, and Floyd-Warshall Algorithms | Chapter 2 | Engineering Research: Perspectives on Recent Advances Vol. 3

With the increasing complexity of global supply chains, there's a pressing need for advanced algorithms that can optimize routes, reduce costs, and ensure timely deliveries. In the era of digital transformation, optimizing supply chains is paramount for businesses to remain competitive. This research article delves into the creation of an enhanced supply chain algorithm for Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems using the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), Genetic, and Floyd-Warshall algorithms. Through a comparative analysis using dummy data from two companies, Alco and Palto, the efficacy of the study approach was demonstrated. The integration of Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), Genetic, and Floyd-Warshall algorithms offers a comprehensive solution for enhancing supply chain operations in ERP systems. While each algorithm has its strengths, the Genetic Algorithm proved to be particularly effective in the simulation due to its ability to consider multiple variables simultaneously.
