STUDY TO INCREASE THE PERFORMANCE OF THE ADAPTIVE VERSION OF THE GEO ALGORITHM AND ITS APPLICATION IN THE CONCEPTUAL PROJECT OF SPACE SYSTEMS
This repository contains the algorithms developed during a master's thesis. The main focus of the work was to improve the evolutionary algorithm A-GEO, which was presented in the paper A new Adaptive Evolutionary Algorithm for Design Optimization (Barroca, 2019).
• Objectives • Algorithms
- Implement the parameter control mechanism of A-GEO in GEOvar, a variant of GEO, verifying this implementation using a set of test functions;
- Change the encoding of the A-GEO design variables from binary to real, no longer requiring the definition of the number of bits encoding each variable;
- Study how the design variables are perturbed in the real encoding, as well as how to perform several mutations on each variable in a single iteration;
- Investigate the control mechanism for the parameter τ proposed for A-GEO, which may indicate other ways to control the parameter during search;
- Explore ways to make A-GEOreal fully adaptive, without the need for parameter tuning;
- Apply the improved algorithm in the search for automating the creation of solutions in a conceptual design of space systems;
