A simplex social spider algorithm for solving integer programming and minimax problems

In this paper, we propose a new hybrid social spider algorithm with simplex Nelder-Mead method in order to solve integer programming and minimax problems. We call the proposed algorithm a Simplex Social Spider optimization (SSSO) algorithm. In the the proposed SSSO algorithm, we combine the social spider algorithm with its powerful capability of performing exploration, exploitation, and the Nelder-Mead method in order to refine the best obtained solution from the standard social spider algorithm. In order to investigate the general performance of the proposed SSSO algorithm, we test it on 7 integer programming problems and 10 minimax problems and compare against 10 algorithms for solving integer programming problems and 9 algorithms for solving minimax problems. The experiments results show the efficiency of the proposed algorithm and its ability to solve integer and minimax optimization problems in reasonable time.

An improved partial enumeration algorithm for integer programming problems

In this paper, we present an improved Partial Enumeration Algorithm for Integer Programming Problems by developing a special algorithm, named PE_SPEEDUP (partial enumeration speedup), to use whatever explicit linear constraints are present to speedup the search for a solution. The method is easy to understand and implement, yet very effective in dealing with many integer programming problems, including knapsack problems, reliability optimization, and spare allocation problems. The algorithm is based on monotonicity properties of the problem functions, and uses function values only; it does not require continuity or differentiability of the problem functions. This allows its use on problems whose functions cannot be expressed in closed algebraic form. The reliability and efficiency of the proposed PE_SPEEDUP algorithm has been demonstrated on some integer optimization problems taken from the literature.     

Hybrid flexible flowshop problems: Models and solution methods

This paper considers the problem of hybrid flowshop scheduling. First, we review the shortcoming of the available model in the literature. Then, four different mathematical models are developed in form of mixed integer linear programming models. A complete experiment is conducted to compare the models for performance based on the size and computational complexities. Besides the models, the paper proposes a novel hybrid particle swarm optimization algorithm equipped with an acceptance criterion and a local search heuristic. The features provide a fine balance of diversification and intensification capabilities for the algorithm. Using Taguchi method, the algorithm is fine tuned. Then, two numerical experiments are performed to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm with three particle swarm optimization algorithms available in the scheduling literature and one well-known iterated local search algorithm in the hybrid flowshop literature. All the results show the high performance of the proposed algorithm.

A heuristic approach to combat multicollinearity in least trimmed squares regression analysis

In order to down-weight or ignore unusual data and multicollinearity effects, some alternative robust estimators are introduced. Firstly, a ridge least trimmed squares approach is discussed. Then, based on a penalization scheme, a nonlinear integer programming problem is suggested. Because of complexity and difficulty, the proposed optimization problem is solved by a tabu search heuristic algorithm. Also, the robust generalized cross validation criterion is employed for selecting the optimal ridge parameter. Finally, a simulation case and two real-world data sets are computationally studied to support our theoretical discussions.
