Abstract(in English) A probabilistic local search is an efficient tool for finding approximate optimal solutions to a large scale optimization problem. In a probabilistic local search, a candidate solution is generated and then a decision whether to accept or reject it is made based on an acceptance probability. The acceptance probability function significantly affects the performance of the search algorithm. We propose a new acceptance probability function suitable for multi objective optimization problems, which we call a generalized acceptance probability function. An example of the generalized acceptance probability function is presented for two objective optimization. Furthermore, we apply it to a two objective worker scheduling problem and demonstrate that Pareto quasi-optimal solutions of good quality can be found by the probabilistic local search using the generalized acceptance probability function by numerical experiments.
