Application of improved simulated annealing genetic algorithm to groundwater management

For a highly nonlinear and nonconvex groundwater management model,the traditional optimization methods are difficult to find the global optimum.Simulated annealing genetic algorithm was used to solve a groundwater management model in this paper and was improved from three aspects to enhance the ability of global optimization and convergence speed:(1) introducing the niche technology,(2) using adaptive crossover probability and mutation probability,and(3) using the elitist strategy during the sel...
