Fuzzy logic-controlled diversity-based multi-objective memetic algorithm applied to a frequency assignment problem
Propose a novel parameter control method based on Fuzzy Logic Controllers (FLCs) applicable to both continuous and discrete numeric parameters. Present the first application of FLCs and hyper-heuristics to adapt a mutation operator specifically designed for the Frequency Assignment Problem. Perform an extensive comparison of FLCs vs. hyper-heuristics as methods of parameter control applied to a complex real-world problem. Carry out a broad comparison that highlights the benefits of parameter control as opposed to parameter tuning. Improve the best-known frequency plans published for the instances considered by using a control approach based on fuzzy logic.
