A self-guided differential evolution with neighborhood search for permutation flow shop scheduling

作者:

Highlights:

• Constructive heuristics and discrete harmony search are used to initialize.

• A guided agent based on the probabilistic model is proposed.

• Multiple mutation and crossover based on the guided agent are proposed.

• Neighborhood search based on the variable neighborhood search is designed.

• The convergence of the proposed algorithm is analyzed with Markov chain.
