Fast Nash Hybridized Evolutionary Algorithms for Single and Multi-objective Design Optimization in Engineering

2014

Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) are one of advanced intelligent systems and they occupied an important position in the class of optimizers for solving single-objective/reverse/inverse design and multi-objective/multi physics design problems in engineering. The chapter hybridizes the Genetic Algorithms (GAs) based computational intelligent system (CIS) with the concept of Nash-Equilibrium as an optimization pre-conditioner to accelerate the optimization procedure. Hybridized GAs and simple GAs are validated through solving five complex single-objective and multi-objective mathematical design problems. For real-world design problems, the hybridized GAs (Hybrid Intelligent System) and the origin…
