MADS is a class of direct search algorithms for nonlinear optimization. The MADS algorithm is a modification of the Pattern Search (PS) algorithm. The algorithms differ in how the set of points forming the mesh is computed. The PS algorithm uses fixed direction vectors, whereas the MADS algorithm uses random selection of vectors to define the mesh. A key advantage of MADS over PS is that local exploration of the space of variables is not restricted to a finite number of directions (poll directions). This is the primary drawback of PS algorithms, and therefore the main motivation in using MADS to solve the industrial production planning problem is to overcome this restriction. A thorough investigation on hybrid MADS and GA is performed for the quality of the best fitness function, decision variables and computational CPU time. © 2011 IEEE. date: 2011 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84858764792&doi=10.1109%2fICTKE.2012.6152419&partnerID=40&md5=b530a5cdc258c402360f4cfc9ca431fe id_number: 10.1109/ICTKE.2012.6152419 full_text_status: none publication: International Conference on ICT and Knowledge Engineering place_of_pub: Bangkok pagerange: 88-93 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781457721601 issn: 21570981 citation: Vasant, P.M.
