Combinatorial optimisation problems are in the domain of Genetic Algorithms (GA) interest. Unfortunately ordinary crossover and mutation operators cause problems for chromosome representations of permutations and some types of combinations. This is so because offsprings generated by means of the ordinary operators are of a great possibility no more valid chromosomes. A variety of methods and new operators that handle that sort of obscenities are introduced throughout the literature. A new method for representing r-permutations of n-elements as GA chromosomes has been introduced. In contrast to the conventional ones this proposed representation is not handicapped under crossover and mutation. The proposed method is used in various scheduling and timetabling GA applications problems and is observed to perform extremely well.

A robust Island Parallel Genetic Algorithm for the Quadratic Assignment Problem Tosun, Umut; Dokeroglu, Tansel; Coşar, Ahmet (2013-07-01) The Quadratic Assignment Problem (QAP) is a difficult and important problem studied in the domain of combinatorial optimisation. It is possible to solve QAP instances with 10--20 facilities using exhaustive parallel algorithms within a few days on a cluster machine. However, large QAP instances with more than 100 facilities are not solvable using exhaustive techniques. We have explored a variety of Genetic Algorithm crossover operators for this problem and verified its performance experimentally using well-...
Evaluation of crossover techniques in genetic algorithm based optimum structural design Hasançebi, Oğuzhan (2000-11-01) Crossover is one of the three basic operators in any genetic algorithm (GA). Several crossover techniques have been proposed and their relative merits are currently under investigation. This paper starts with a brief discussion of the working scheme of the GAs and the crossover techniques commonly used in previous GA applications. Next, these techniques are tested on two truss size optimization problems, and are evaluated with respect to exploration and exploitation aspects of the search process. Finally, t...
On the use of genetic algorithms for synthesis of signal temporal logic formulas Aydin, Sertac Kagan; Aydın Göl, Ebru (2018-07-09) In this work, we studied use of genetic algorithms to synthesize Signal Temporal Logic formulas from a labeled data set. In the synthesis problem, the goal is to generate the best STL formula representing the labeled signals in the set. To use genetic algoritms in this domain, the basic genetic algoritm processes are defined for STL formulas. The developed synthesis method produces a formula from the data set efficiently in a fully automated way. In particular, the proposed approach does not require an expe...
Optimization of the array geometry for direction finding Özaydın, Seval; Koç, Seyit Sencer; Tanık, Yalçın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2003) In this thesis, optimization of the geometry of non-uniform arrays for direction finding yielding unambiguous results is studied. A measure of similarity between the array response vectors is defined. In this measure, the effects of antenna array geometry, source placements and antenna gains are included as variable parameters. Then, assuming that the antenna gains are known and constant, constraints on the similarity function are developed and described to result in unambiguous configurations and maximum r...
A New Representation of Elements of Binary Fields with Subquadratic Space Complexity Multiplication of Polynomials Özbudak, Ferruh; Cenk, Murat (2013-10-01) In this paper, Hermite polynomial representation is proposed as an alternative way to represent finite fields of characteristic two. We show that multiplication in Hermite polynomial representation can be achieved with subquadratic space complexity. This representation enables us to find binomial or trinomial irreducible polynomials which allows us faster modular reduction over binary fields when there is no desirable such low weight irreducible polynomial in other representations. We then show that the pro...
