Özyıldırım, S.Alemdar, N. M.2016-02-082016-02-0820000165-1889http://hdl.handle.net/11693/25064This paper shows the computational benefits of a game theoretic approach to optimization of high dimensional control problems. A dynamic noncooperative game framework is adopted to partition the control space and to search the optimum as the equilibrium of a k-person dynamic game played by k-parallel genetic algorithms. When there are multiple inputs, we delegate control authority over a set of control variables exclusively to one player so that k artificially intelligent players explore and communicate to learn the global optimum as the Nash equilibrium. In the case of a single input, each player's decision authority becomes active on exclusive sets of dates so that k GAs construct the optimal control trajectory as the equilibrium of evolving best-to-date responses. Sample problems are provided to demonstrate the gains in computational speed and accuracy. © 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.EnglishLearningNash equilibriumOptimal controlParallel genetic algorithmsArticle10.1016/S0165-1889(99)00012-3
