Firstly, the multilevel elitist roles based dynamics equilibrium strategy is established, and both immigration and emigration of elitists are able to be self-adaptive to balance between exploration and exploitation for feature selection. Secondly, the utility matrix of trust margins is introduced to the model of multilevel elitist roles to enhance various elitist roles＇ performance of searching the optimal feature subsets, and the win-win utility solutions for feature selec- tion can be attained. Meanwhile, a novel ensemble quantum game strategy is designed as an intriguing exhibiting structure to perfect the dynamics equilibrium of multilevel elitist roles. Finally, the en- semble manner of multilevel elitist roles is employed to achieve the global minimal feature subset, which will greatly improve the fea- sibility and effectiveness. Experiment results show the proposed EERQG algorithm has superiority compared to the existing feature selection algorithms.展开更多

Under certain conditions that transition probability functions of Markov chains corresponding to evolutionary algorithms satisfy, the authors obtain the convergence rates of the exponential order.

In this algorithm, a population of possible solutions is maintained at every generation, and for each solution a fitness value is calculated according to a fitness function, which is constructed based on the MRF potential function according to Metropolis function and Bayesian framework. After the improved selection, crossover and mutation, an elitist individual is restructured based on the strategy of restructuring elitist. This procedure is processed to select the location that denotes the largest MRF potential function value in the same location of all individuals. The algorithm is stopped when the change of fitness functions between two sequent generations is less than a specified value. Experiments show that the performance of the hybrid algorithm is better than that of some traditional algorithms.展开更多

The model is solved using an enhanced Elitist Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II), and differential evolution is incorporated to the evolution operator. The algorithm produced by the revised algorithm produces a better Pareto optimum solution set, efficiently balances the relationship between customer pleasure and cost, and serves as a reference for the long-term growth of organizations. .展开更多
