Genetic algorithm and linear constraints

1 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hello,
I'm running a genetic algorithm with linear constraints:
options=gaoptimset('PopulationSize',50,'Generations',10,'InitialPopulation',para0,'Display','iter','PlotFcns',@gaplotbestf,'UseParallel', 'always');
[x,fval,exitflag,output]=ga(@(para)foptim5(N,f,para),6,[0,-1,0,0,1,1;0,-1,0,1,0,0;-1,0,1,0,0,0;0,0,-1,0,0,0;0,0,0,-1,0,0],[-b;-2*b;-2*b;-b;-b],[],[],[W_l,H_l,w_l,h_l,P_l,L_l],[W_u,H_u,w_u,h_u,P_u,L_u],[],options)
It turns out, however, that these constraints are ignored (at least for individuals), which leads to errors in my objective function.
I do not see why, as far as I know the linear constraints should be considered by the optimization for each individual.

GA is a strictly feasible solver with respect to bounds and linear constraints. This means that, assuming the initial population is feasible with respect to these constraints, then all future individuals are feasible as well.
Therefore, I conclude that your initial population, para0, is not feasible with respect to bounds or linear constraints.
To test this conclusion, run your optimization again without giving an initial population. But I do suggest that you give an initial population range.
Good luck,

By forcing ga to use the Gaussian mutation function, you allow mutation to produce infeasible individuals. Don't do that! Use the default for constrained problems, mutationadaptfeasible.
Actually, I find many of your chosen options to be unhelpful. For example, it is often good to take a larger population size than the default, but it is never worthwhile to set a migration fraction. I suggest that you remove all of them except the ones you are certain that you need.

I am using mutationadaptfeasible, but still some of the population individuals are not following the linear inequalities. My chromosome size is 4 and I want x1<=x2 and x3<=x4, so my A and b are [1 -1 0 0; 0 0 1 -1] and [0;0]
Currently I am using an if condition to reject such individuals, but it would be nice if I don't have to. Any ideas what might be wrong ?
