OPTIMIZATION ENGINEERING

Optimization: In Optimization we either minimize or maximize objective functions / cost function.

No Free Lunch Theorem for Optimization


No Free Lunch Theorem for Optimization
According to No Free Lunch Theorem "There is no universal better algorithm exist that can solve all types of optimization problems".

Today, Metaheuristic Optimization Algorithms are used in different areas to solve complex real work optimization problems. For example in Industrial Areas, Operation Research, Medical Field, Engineering design and other as you can see below: 
History of Metaheuristic Optimization Algorithms:
Genetic Algorithms (G.A.) - 1960's - 1970's
Simulated Annealing (S.A.) - 1983
Tabu Search (T.S.) - 1986
Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm - 1992
Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm - 1995
Differential Evolution (D.E.) -1997
Harmony Search (H.S.) - 2001
Honey Bee Algorithm (H.B.A.) - 2004
Artificial Bee Colony (A.B.C.) - 2005
...
Battle Royal Optimization Algorithm (B.R.O.A.) - 2020

In 1997, D.H. Wolpher and W. G. Macready published No Free Lunch Theorem for optimization. According to No Free Lunch Theorem "There is no universal better algorithm exist that can solve all types of optimization problems". It is always hard to find a universal better way to solve almost all problems. There is no metaheuristic algorithm is best for solving all optimization problems.


One algorithm alone can't solve all types of optimization problems. There may be another algorithm that can provide better solutions to the problem that are not solved by first algorithm.


Suppose 2 Algorithm's, Algorithm X and Algorithm Y.

If Algorithm X performance is better than Algorithm Y for some objective function / optimization functions. Then Algorithm Y Will outperform Algorithm X for other optimization function/ objective functions.

Minimization Types: Constrained and Unconstrained Minimization, Linear Programming, Scalar Minimization Quadratic Programming.

Maximization Types: 

  • Minimax
  • Semi-infinite Minimization

Classes of Optimization Problems:

1. Linear vs Nonlinear

2. Single vs Multiple Objective

3. Discrete vs Continuous Design

4. Constrained vs Unconstrained Optimization

Discrete Optimization: When design variables are restricted to take on only given prescribed set of real values is known as Discrete Optimization.

Single Objective Optimization: In single objective optimization technique, we deal with only one objective function.

Multi-Objective Optimization: In multi-objective optimization technique, we deal with two or more than two objective functions. [we optimize set of objectives]

Approaches to Optimization:

1.) Analytical 

2.) Numerical

3.) Graphical

4.) Experimental

Problem Formulation for Optimization Problem:

minimize ( x)      f(x)              // f(x) represents the Objective Function.

Subject to 

  g(x)<= 0                        // g(x) represent the vector of Inequality Constraints

  h (x) = 0                      // h(x) represent the vector of Equality Constraints

 LB <= x <= UB          // x represent design variable, LB: Lower Bound, UB: Upper Bound

Optimization Problems are very complex as they provide more than one local optimal solutions. Various Categories for Optimization Problems are:

  • Constrained or Unconstrained Optimization Problems.
  • Discrete or Continuous Optimization Problems.
  • Static or Dynamic Optimization Problems.
  • Single or Multi-Objective Optimization Problems.
       

Metaheuristic Optimization Algorithms are widely accepted by researchers to solve various complex real life optimization problems. Metaheuristic Algorithms provide accurate, feasible solutions within time. Today, Metaheuristic Algorithms are used in different areas to solve optimization problems such as:

  • In Industrial Areas.
  • In Medical Field.
  • In Artificial Intelligence.
  • Mathematical  Programming.
  • Operation Research.
  • Soft Computing.
  • To solve engineering design problems.
  • In Economy and other.

Metaheuristic Optimization Algorithms are easy to implement. Metaheuristics are divided into two categories:

  • Single Solution Based Metaheuristic Algorithms: In single solution based algorithms searching process starts with one single solution.
  • Multiple Solution Based Metaheuristic Algorithms: In multiple solution based algorithms searching process starts with a set of solutions (i.e., Initial Population). This is also known as Population based Metaheuristic Optimization. 
Steps involved in Population Based Metaheuristic Algorithms:

Step 1: Randomly generate initial population (i.e., set of multiple solutions). 

Step 2: Individuals / agents can share information with each other in the search space and avoid local optimal solutions. 

Step 3: Exploration and Exploitations Phases.

Step 4: In the end when stopping criteria met display best / optimal / feasible solution obtained. 

Step 5: Exit.
