1. An improved harmony search algorithm using opposition-based learning and local search for solving the maximal covering location problemSoumen Atta, 2023, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: In this article, an improved harmony search algorithm (IHSA) that utilizes opposition-based learning is presented for solving the maximal covering location problem (MCLP). The MCLP is a well-known facility location problem where a fixed number of facilities are opened at a given potential set of facility locations such that the sum of the demands of customers covered by the open facilities is maximized. Here, the performance of the harmony search algorithm (HSA) is improved by incorporating opposition-based learning that utilizes opposite, quasi-opposite and quasi-reflected numbers. Moreover, a local search heuristic is used to improve the performance of the HSA further. The proposed IHSA is employed to solve 83 real-world MCLP instances. The performance of the IHSA is compared with a Lagrangean/surrogate relaxation-based heuristic, a customized genetic algorithm with local refinement, and an improved chemical reaction optimization-based algorithm. The proposed IHSA is found to perform well in solving the MCLP instances.

2. Solving tool indexing problem using harmony search algorithm with harmony refinementSoumen Atta, Priya Ranjan Sinha Mahapatra, Anirban Mukhopadhyay, 2019, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The tool indexing problem (TIP) is the problem of allocating cutting tools to different slots in a tool magazine of Computer Numerically Controlled machine to reduce the processing time of jobs on the machine. This is one of the mostly encountered optimization problems in manufacturing systems. In TIP, the number of tools used by the machine is at most the number of slots available in the tool magazine. In this article, a customized harmony search (HS) algorithm, which utilizes a harmony refinement strategy for faster convergence, is presented to solve TIP. The harmony refinement method also helps to avoid getting stuck into local optima. The performance of the proposed method is tested on 27 instances taken from the literature and out of these it is found to improve the best known solutions for 16 instances. For the remaining instances, it gives the same results as found in the literature. Moreover, the performance of the proposed algorithm is tested on newly adapted 41 instances and for some of these instances the results obtained using the proposed algorithm are compared with that obtained using CPLEX.

3. A multi-objective formulation of maximal covering location problem with customers’ preferences: Exploring Pareto optimality-based solutionsSoumen Atta, Priya Ranjan Sinha Mahapatra, Anirban Mukhopadhyay, 2021, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The maximal covering location problem (MCLP) is a well-known combinatorial optimization problem with several applications in emergency and military services as well as in public services. Traditionally, MCLP is a single objective problem where the objective is to maximize the sum of the demands of customers which are served by a fixed number of open facilities. In this article, a multi-objective MCLP is proposed where each customer has a preference for each facility. The multi-objective MCLP with customers’ preferences (MOMCLPCP) deals with the opening of a fixed number of facilities from a given set of potential facility locations and then customers are assigned to these opened facilities such that both (i) the sum of the demands of customers and (ii) the sum of the preferences of the customers covered by these opened facilities are maximized. A Pareto-based multi-objective harmony search algorithm (MOHSA), which utilizes a harmony refinement strategy for faster convergence, is proposed to solve MOMCLPCP. The proposed MOHSA is terminated based on the stabilization of the density of non-dominated solutions. For experimental purposes, 82 new test instances of MOMCLPCP are generated from the existing single objective MCLP benchmark data sets. The performance of the proposed MOHSA is compared with the well-known non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II), and it has been observed that the proposed MOHSA always outperforms NSGA-II in terms of computation time. Moreover, statistical tests show that the objective values obtained from both algorithms are comparable.
