Abstract

The Dynamic Multi-Objective Bin-Packing Problem (DMOBPP) presents significant challenges in simultaneously optimizing bin usage (z1), thermal heat (z2), and delivery time (z3). This paper proposes AMSS-PATH, a hybrid metaheuristic integrating Strategic Path Relinking into an Adaptive Multi-Objective Scatter Search (AMSS) framework with three specialized operators (Φ1,Φ2,Φ3), each targeting a distinct objective. By exploring elite-solution trajectories, the method densifies the Pareto frontier through targeted intensification at every intermediate point. Experimental results on toy and full-scale instances yield a Net Front Contribution (NFC) of 100%, a Binary Conflict Index (BCI) of ≈ 0, and a 4.8% hypervolume gain over base AMSS, significantly outperforming GAMMA-PC, MOMA, and NSGA-II. A Wilcoxon signed-rank test (p ≈ 0.031) confirms statistical significance.

Weather State Ants Optimizer: A Markov-Driven Variable-Structure Metaheuristic

Metaheuristics require sustained global search without sacrificing local refinement, yet many variable-structure methods change operators through one-way iteration schedules. We introduce the Weather State Ants Optimizer (WSAO), in which a discrete-time Markov chain recurrently selects one of three population updates....

The Decoder, Not the Metaheuristic: A Systematic Benchmark of 3D Bin Packing with Compatibility Constraints

The three-dimensional single bin packing problem with categorical compatibility constraints (3D-SBPP-CC) extends the classical NP-hard packing problem by adding pairwise incompatibility rules over item categories. Although such constraints arise in hazardous materials logistics, no prior study has provided a complete m...

Theoretical Analysis of Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithms on Integer Spaces with Local Optima

This work proves that a widely-studied MOEA, GSEMO, using unit-step mutation can be trapped in local optimal regions and fail to identify the Pareto front, and demonstrates the extendability of the proposed benchmark to more complex landscapes with numerous local optima, resembling well-established problems in the fiel...

Modified snake optimizer algorithm for solving the permutation flow shop scheduling problem

Minimising the makespan for large job sets is the goal of the algorithmically intensive NP-hard permutation flow shop scheduling problem (PFSP), which is crucial for real-world applications. Originally designed for continuous optimisation, the snake optimiser is a recently discovered swarm-based metaheuristic that may...

Adaptive Elite Cuckoo Search Algorithm with Step-Size Control and Elitism Crossover for Global Optimization

Cuckoo Search Algorithm (CSA) has emerged as a powerful bio-inspired metaheuristic, yet its reliance on random-walk search often leads to slow convergence and susceptibility to local optima. This study introduces an Adaptive Elite Cuckoo Search Algorithm (AECSA), designed to enhance both convergence speed and solution...
