Using a fuzzy clustering chaotic-based differential evolution with serial method to solve resource-constrained project scheduling problems
Abstract The resource-constrained problem seeks to find the optimal sequence that minimizes project duration under current precedence constraints and resource limitations. This study integrates the fuzzy c-means clustering technique and the chaotic technique into the Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm to develop the Fuzzy Clustering Chaotic-based Differential Evolution (FCDE) algorithm, an innovative approach to solving complex optimization problems. Within the FCDE, the chaotic technique prevents the optimization algorithm from premature convergence and the fuzzy c-means clustering technique acts as several multi-parent crossover operators in order to utilize population information efficiently and enhance convergence efficiency. Further, this study applies a serial method to reflect individual-user priorities into the active schedule and the project duration calculations. The FCDE and serial method are then integrated into a novel optimization model called the Fuzzy Clustering Chaotic-based Differential Evolution for Solving Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problem (FCDE-RCPSP). Experiments run indicate that the proposed FCDE-RCPSP obtains optimal results more reliably and efficiently than the benchmark algorithms considered. The FCDE-RCPSP is a promising alternative approach to handling resource-constrained project scheduling problems.
Highlights This study presents a novel optimization algorithm FCDE. Chaotic mapping is used to prevent the algorithm from premature convergence. Clustering is utilized to enhance the convergence. FCDE is incorporated with serial method to handle resource-constrained problem.
