A multi-population multi-objective maritime inventory routing optimization algorithm with three-level dynamic encoding by Tianyu Liu, Jiaping Liu, He Xu

“…Abstract This paper proposes a multi-population-based multi-objective evolutionary algorithm (MP-MOEA) for solving complex maritime inventory routing problems, aiming to simultaneously minimize transportation costs and greenhouse gas emissions. To maintain population diversity, this paper employs a multi-population-based initialization operator to generate multiple populations containing solutions with varying numbers of vessels. …”
