A Novel Approach for Solving Engineering Optimization Problems Involving Equality Constraints

Kedar Nath Das and Tapan Kumar Singh
Abstract—In general, the optimization problems arise in real life situations are constrained in nature. Handling such problems becomes more difficult when an optimization problem involves some equality constraints. The computation complexity increases exponentially if the constraints are non-linear and non-convex. In order to solve such problems, a large number of evolutionary approaches have been suggested in the literature. In such approaches, penalty function method and boundary simulation method are more popular to solve equality and inequality constraints problems. In this paper, an efficient and novel approach namely ‘Drosophila Food-Search Constrained Optimization Algorithm (DFCOA)’ has been proposed that helps for the robust generation of feasible regions during simulation. The proposed algorithm is initially tested on ten typical constrained benchmark problems with different tastes. Further two real life engineering problems have also been solved. The simulation results confirm that the proposed algorithm works better than some of the state-of-the-art algorithms.
