Optimal parameter design for an electrophotographic system using fuzzy multi-objective genetic algorithm

摘要

This article proposes a systematic approach to conduct system level optimal parameter design for electrophotographic systems. A conventional monochrome laser printer serves as the platform for verification of the proposed optimal design approach. Besides performance, we incorporate two other practical indices, i.e., cost and energy consumption, into design objectives and formulate a multi-objective optimization problem. Fuzzy logics are employed to provide the nonlinear or linguistic mapping between the decision variables and the design objectives. For comparison, the problem is solved using both single-objective and multi-objective optimization algorithms. Note that the proposed approach is also applicable to other complex systems.View full textDownload full textKeywordsfuzzy system, genetic algorithm, electrophotographic system, multi-objective constrained optimizationRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/02533839.2011.565612
