Question about an effect of ConstraintTolerance on multiple constraints for GA optimization

3 vues (au cours des 30 derniers jours)
Hi, I'm doing the optimization using GA with multiple constraint functions and have difficulty in understanding an effect of ConstrainTorelance.
For example, I have three constraint functions as follows:
Fcn1 > 10
Fcn > 8
Fcn > -7
One of the result was that Fcn1 = 9.8592, Fcn2 = 9.6328 and Fcn3 = -3.0568 showing that only Fcn2 and Fcn3 meet the constraints.
I thought that the reason is related to ConstraintTolerance, and it was set to 1.0000e-03 in the program.
But I don't understand how Fcn1 = 9.8592 was possible in the process of GA not meeting the constraint.
Could you please give me some advice on this problem?

Can you please show us the following two items:
  1. How did you write your constraint function? Give us a simplified form of the code if it is too long.
  2. What are the results of iterative display? In particular, what is the infeasibility of the initial population?

Thank you for replying, Alan.
The constraint function is written as follow:
rng('default')
ObjectiveFunction = @(x)GA_DL(x);
ConstraintFunction = @(x)GA_UL(x);
nvars = 5;
options = optimoptions(@ga, 'MaxGenerations', 1000, 'MutationFcn', @mutationadaptfeasible, 'PlotFcn', {@gaplotbestf}, 'Display', 'iter', 'UseParallel', true,...
'MaxStallGenerations', 50);
LB = [1 1 1 1 1];
UB = [34 68 35 27 16];
intCon=1:5;
[x, fval] = ga(ObjectiveFunction, nvars, [], [], [], [], LB, UB, ConstraintFunction, intCon, options);
Below is the simplified form of the code for constraint function, which includes three constraint function in it. Each constraint function(constraint1~constraint3) outputs the value corresponding to the input parameters.
This program is system simulation of wireless communication and the output value is communication quality (SNR and SINR).
function [value, y] = GA_UL(x)
RR = 50;
seed = 1;
param_idx1 = 2:2:68;
param_idx2 = 2:2:136;
param_idx3 = 22:2:90;
param_idx4 = 2:2:54;
param_idx5 = 0:2:30;
theta_3dB_in = param_idx1(x(1));
theta_3dB_center_in = param_idx2(x(2));
theta_tilt_in = param_idx3(x(3));
phi_3dB_in = param_idx4(x(4));
rotation = param_idx5(x(5));
offset1 = 10;
value(1) = -(-offset1 + constraint1(theta_3dB_in, theta_3dB_center_in, theta_tilt_in, phi_3dB_in, RR, rotation, 6, seed));
offset2 = -7;
value(2) = -(-offset2 + constraint2(theta_3dB_in, theta_3dB_center_in, theta_tilt_in, phi_3dB_in, RR, rotation, 6, seed));
offset3 = 8;
value(3) = -(-offset3 + constraint3(theta_3dB_in, theta_3dB_center_in, theta_tilt_in, phi_3dB_in, RR, rotation, 6, seed));
y = [];
The below is the result of iterative display.

but constraints are not satisfied.
Initial Infeasibility of the function of constraint1 is below and only 18 out of 50 meets the constraint.
I would really appreciate if you could give me advice and I hope these information make sense to you.
Thank you.

Thank you for the clear explanation. You have a difficult nonlinear problem with all integer variables. The solver is struggling to find any feasible point. Until it finds one feasible point, it does not matter that it satisfies a few constraints, the solver attempts to find something feasible and does not attempt to keep some constraints feasible when not all are feasible. See Integer ga algorithm.
I'm afraid that the best advice I can give you is to increase the size of the population considerably in an attempt to find a feasible point. This will slow the optimization even further, but until you find a feasible point, the solver is not doing anything productive. Also, there is no point in specifying a mutation function, as the integer ga algorithm overrides your choice anyway.
Good luck,

Thank you so much for the insightful advice!
First, I did not understand that the solver was struggling to find an answer to meet the constraints. So I will first try to increase the size of the population.
Also thanks for pointing out that there's no need for specifying the mutation function. I will also refer to the link about Integer ga algorithm.
I really appreciate you taking time to answer my question.
