Multiobjective Optimization Methodology: A Jumping Gene Approach(Industrial Electronics)

Complex design problems are often governed by a number of performance merits. These markers gauge how good the design is going to be, but can conflict with the performance requirements that must be met. The challenge is reconciling these two requirements. This book introduces a newly developed jumping gene algorithm, designed to address the multi-functional objectives problem and supplies a viably adequate solution in speed. The text presents various multi-objective optimization techniques and provides the technical know-how for obtaining trade-off solutions between solution spread and convergence.

Table of Contents:
Introduction. Overview of Multiobjective Optimization. Jumping Gene Computational Approach. Theoretical Analysis of JG. Performance Measures on JG. Radio-To-Fiber Repeater Placement in Wireless Local Loop Systems. Resource Management in WCDMA. Base Station Placement in WLANs. Conclusions.

Review :
"This is an interesting and practical book. It is easy to read [and] provides good background information ... [and] cutting-edge technologies to solve the challenging multi-objective optimization problems." —Mo-Yuen Chow, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, USA "The authors describe the jumping gene approach to solve multiobjective optimization problems. It is quite [a] new approach and complements standard operations used in genetic algorithms." —Marcin Anholcer (Poznan), Zentralblatt MATH 1273
