3-SAT Problem A New Memetic-PSO Algorithm
share
3-SAT problem is of great importance to many technical and scientific applications. This paper presents a new hybrid evolutionary algorithm for solving this satisfiability problem. 3-SAT problem has the huge search space and hence it is known as a NP-hard problem. So, deterministic approaches are not applicable in this context. Thereof, application of evolutionary processing approaches and especially PSO will be very effective for solving these kinds of problems. In this paper, we introduce a new evolutionary optimization technique based on PSO, Memetic algorithm and local search approaches. When some heuristics are mixed, their advantages are collected as well and we can reach to the better outcomes. Finally, we test our proposed algorithm over some benchmarks used by some another available algorithms. Obtained results show that our new method leads to the suitable results by the appropriate time. Thereby, it achieves a better result in compared with the existent approaches such as pure genetic algorithm and some verified types
