若干图划分问题基于学习的多层进化算法研究

Graph partitioning problems are a kind of NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems with a number of real-world applications, such as parallel computing, very large scale integration (VLSI), image segmentation, etc. At present, the existing algorithms need to be further improved in the performance. This project is dedicated to investigating systemically four graph partitioning problems which are closely related to each other, i.e., the balanced graph partitioning problem with a minimum cut, the balanced graph partitioning problem minimizing the maximum domain boundary, the non-uniform graph partitioning problem with a minimum cut, and the balanced graph partitioning problem with a lower bound constraint on the capacities of subsets of vertex set, and devising respectively a learning-based multi-level evolutionary algorithm for each of them. The main researching contents in the algorithm design are as follows: (1) the coarsening methods of graph for the multi-level optimization methods; (2) the local search methods, the crossover operators, and the population updating strategies for the evolutionary algorithms; (3) the learning mechanisms for the evolutionary algorithms. This project is not only able to promote the study and development of the learning-based intelligent optimization algorithms, but also to provide the highly efficient optimization tools for many real-world applications.
