Abstract
En 中文
Metaheuristic algorithms have become essential tools for solving complex, high-dimensional, and constrained optimization problems. This paper introduces an adaptive R implementation of the parameter-free Jaya algorithm, enhanced with methodological innovations for both single-objective and multi-objective settings. The proposed framework integrates adaptive population management, dynamic constraint-handling, diversity-preserving perturbations, and Pareto-based archiving, while retaining Jaya's parameter-free simplicity. These extensions are further supported by parallel computation and visualization tools, enabling scalable and reproducible applications. Benchmark evaluations on standard test functions demonstrate improved convergence accuracy, solution diversity, and robustness compared to the classical Jaya and other baseline algorithms. To highlight real-world applicability, the method is applied to a renewable energy planning problem, where trade-offs among cost, emissions, and reliability are explored. The results confirm that the adaptive Jaya approach can generate well-distributed Pareto fronts and provide practical decision support for energy system design. The main contributions of this work are threefold: (i) the development of an adaptive multi-objective extension of the Jaya algorithm that preserves its parameter-free philosophy while incorporating diversity preservation, dynamic constraint handling, and Pareto-based selection; (ii) a unified and openly available R implementation that integrates methodological advances with parallel computation and visualization, addressing the lack of transparent and reusable MO-Jaya tools in the existing literature; and (iii) a systematic evaluation on benchmark test functions and a renewable energy planning case study, demonstrating competitive convergence, robust Pareto diversity, and practical decision-making insights compared to established methods. By openly releasing the software in R (>= 3.5.0), this work contributes both a methodological advance in multi-objective metaheuristics and a transparent tool for applied optimization in engineering and environmental domains.
