摘要 The p-Hub Median problem has been crucial problem that locates p hubs in a number of points, and allocates the remaining points to the hubs such that minimizes an objective cost function. Due to this problem is a NP-complete problem, heuristic methods have been popularly applied to this category of problems. In this paper, we propose a hybrid genetic algorithm that solves the p-Hub Median problem effectively. The proposed GA integrates different methods including multi-start, elite principle, critical event, K-means algorithm and different evolutionary operators to avoid local optimal solutions and increase the efficiency of genetic process. Because of using different methods, tuning up the hybrid GA becomes a critical task that derives a set of parameters leading the evolutionary process to a quick convergence. The parameters include the probabilities of crossover and mutation, the number of iterations for multi-start, the length of critical events, the number of iterations for running K-means algorithm. Therefore, the Taguchi method is used to find the best operating parameters based on several well-known test problems. Experiments show that the proposed hybrid genetic algorithm, tuned with the Taguchi method, effectively and efficiently solves the p-Hub Median problem.
