MADS is a class of direct search of 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. date: 2011 publisher: Institute of Automatic Control - Silesian University of Technology official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-81755169865&doi=10.2478%2fv10170-010-0045-0&partnerID=40&md5=2a2260078c2f5cde2d990ddabe925140 id_number: 10.2478/v10170-010-0045-0 full_text_status: none publication: Archives of Control Sciences volume: 21 number: 3 pagerange: 299-312 refereed: TRUE issn: 12302384 citation: Vasant, P.
