It is important to understand the behaviour of evolutionary algorithms for complex optimization problems that also involve dynamic and/or stochastic components in a systematic way in order to further increase their applicability to real-world problems. We investigate the node weighted traveling salesperson problem (W-TSP), which provides an abstraction of a wide range of weighted TSP problems, in dynamic settings. In the dynamic setting of the problem, items that have to be collected as part of a TSP tour change over time. We first present a dynamic setup for the dynamic W-TSP parameterized by different types of changes that are applied to the set of items to be collected when traversing the tour. Our first experimental investigations study the impact of such changes on resulting optimized tours in order to provide structural insights of optimization solutions. Afterwards, we investigate simple mutation-based evolutionary algorithms and study the impact of the mutation operators and the use of populations with dealing with the dynamic changes to the node weights of the problem.","lang":"eng"}],"publication":"Proceedings of the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference","user_id":"102979","_id":"48869","publisher":"Association for Computing Machinery","page":"248–256","status":"public","place":"New York, NY, USA","citation":{"ieee":"J.

We consider the classical vertex coloring problem on graphs and investigate the dynamic setting where edges are added to the current graph.

The (1+1) Evolutionary Algorithm and RLS operate in a setting where the number of colors is bounded and we are minimizing the number of conflicts. Iterated local search algorithms use an unbounded color palette and aim to use the smallest colors and, consequently, the smallest number of colors. We identify classes of bipartite graphs where reoptimization is as hard as or even harder than optimization from scratch, i.e., starting with a random initialization. Even adding a single edge can lead to hard symmetry problems. However, graph classes that are hard for one algorithm turn out to be easy for others. In most cases our bounds show that reoptimization is faster than optimizing from scratch. We further show that tailoring mutation operators to parts of the graph where changes have occurred can significantly reduce the expected reoptimization time. In most settings the expected reoptimization time for such tailored algorithms is linear in the number of added edges. However, tailored algorithms cannot prevent exponential times in settings where the original algorithm is inefficient."}],"date_created":"2023-11-14T15:58:54Z","department":[{"_id":"819"}],"type":"journal_article","keyword":["Dynamic optimization","Evolutionary algorithms","Running time analysis"]},{"status":"public","user_id":"102979","_id":"48847","publisher":"Association for Computing Machinery","page":"1277–1285","citation":{"chicago":"Bossek, Jakob, Frank Neumann, Pan Peng, and Dirk Sudholt. “More Effective Randomized Search Heuristics for Graph Coloring through Dynamic Optimization.” In <i>Proceedings of the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference</i>, 1277–1285.

We show that, when edges are inserted in a way that preserves graph connectivity, Randomized Local Search (RLS) efficiently finds a proper 2-coloring for all bipartite graphs. This includes graphs for which RLS and other EAs need exponential expected time in a static optimization scenario. We investigate different ways of building up the graph by popular graph traversals such as breadth-first-search and depth-first-search and analyse the resulting runtime behavior. We further show that offspring populations (e. g. a (1 + {$\\lambda$}) RLS) lead to an exponential speedup in {$\\lambda$}. Finally, an island model using 3 islands succeeds in an optimal time of {$\\Theta$}(m) on every m-edge bipartite graph, outperforming offspring populations.

Beyond that, however, dynamic requests lead to the need for re-planning of not yet realized tour parts, while already realized tour parts are irreversible. In this paper we study this type of bi-objective dynamic VRP including sequential decision making and concurrent realization of decisions.

The goal is to minimize the tour length traveled by a single delivery vehicle while simultaneously keeping the number of dismissed dynamic customers to a minimum. We propose a dynamic Evolutionary Multi-Objective Algorithm which is grounded on insights gained from a previous series of work on an a-posteriori version of the problem, where all request times are known in advance. In our experiments, we simulate different decision maker strategies and evaluate the development of the Pareto-front approximations on exemplary problem instances. It turns out, that despite severely reduced computational budget and no oracle-knowledge of request times the dynamic EMOA is capable of producing approximations which partially dominate the results of the a-posteriori EMOA and dynamic integer linear programming strategies.","lang":"eng"}],"extern":"1","_id":"48841","publisher":"Springer International Publishing","page":"516–528","editor":[{"full_name":"Deb, Kalyanmoy","first_name":"Kalyanmoy","last_name":"Deb"},{"last_name":"Goodman","first_name":"Erik","full_name":"Goodman, Erik"},{"full_name":"Coello Coello, Carlos A.","first_name":"Carlos A.","last_name":"Coello Coello"},{"full_name":"Klamroth, Kathrin","last_name":"Klamroth","first_name":"Kathrin"},{"full_name":"Miettinen, Kaisa","last_name":"Miettinen","first_name":"Kaisa"},{"last_name":"Mostaghim","first_name":"Sanaz","full_name":"Mostaghim, Sanaz"},{"full_name":"Reed, Patrick","last_name":"Reed","first_name":"Patrick"}],"user_id":"102979","status":"public","place":"Cham","citation":{"chicago":"Bossek, Jakob, Christian Grimme, Stephan Meisel, Günter Rudolph, and Heike Trautmann. “Bi-Objective Orienteering: Towards a Dynamic Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm.” In <i>Evolutionary Multi-Criterion Optimization (EMO)</i>, edited by Kalyanmoy Deb, Erik Goodman, Carlos A.

We consider the classical graph coloring problem and investigate the dynamic setting where edges are added to the current graph. We then analyze the expected time for randomized search heuristics to recompute high quality solutions. This includes the (1+1) EA and RLS in a setting where the number of colors is bounded and we are minimizing the number of conflicts as well as iterated local search algorithms that use an unbounded color palette and aim to use the smallest colors and - as a consequence - the smallest number of colors. We identify classes of bipartite graphs where reoptimization is as hard as or even harder than optimization from scratch, i. e. starting with a random initialization. Even adding a single edge can lead to hard symmetry problems. However, graph classes that are hard for one algorithm turn out to be easy for others. In most cases our bounds show that reoptimization is faster than optimizing from scratch. Furthermore, we show how to speed up computations by using problem specific operators concentrating on parts of the graph where changes have occurred."}],"extern":"1","publication":"Proceedings of the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference","keyword":["dynamic optimization","evolutionary algorithms","running time analysis","theory"],"type":"conference","department":[{"_id":"819"}],"date_created":"2023-11-14T15:58:52Z"}]
