Single Objective Evolutionary Algorithm for Flexible Job-shop Scheduling Problem

Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MATHEMATICS TRENDS AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 2

Abstract

 - A meta-heuristic approach for solving the flexible job-shop scheduling problem (FJSP) is presented in this study. This problem consists of two sub-problems, the routing problem and the sequencing problem and is among the hardest combinatorial optimization problems. We propose a Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) for the FJSP. Our algorithm uses several different rules for generating the initial population and several strategies for producing new population for next generation. Proposed EA is tested on benchmark problems and with due attention to the results of other meta-heuristics in this field, the results of EA show that our algorithm is effective and comparable to the other algorithms.

A bijection f: (X, τ) → (Y, σ) is called weakly generalized regular α- homeomorphism if f and f-1are wgrα-continuous. Also we introduce the new class of maps, namely wgrαc-homeomorphisms which form a subclass of wgrα-ho...
