Trajectory Optimization Using Global Methods
This paper compares three different global indirect approaches for solving the problem of finding optimal trajectories for low thrust spacecraft. The three methods tested were downhill simplex, genetic algorithms and simulated annealing. Two problems are analyzed. The first is a planar low thrust problem. This is the problem of finding a minimum time trajectory from Earth to Mars orbit using a ...
متن کاملStructure and electronic properties of single–walled zigzag BN and B3C2N3 nanotubes using first-principles methods
The structure and the electronic properties of single-walled zigzag BN and B3C2N3 nanotubes (n, 0; n=4–10) were investigated using first-principles calculations based on a density functional theory. A plane–wave basis set with periodic boundary conditions in conjunction with Vanderbilt ultrasoft pseudo-potential was employed. The energy gap of ZB3C<su...

متن کاملStructure of Si(114) determined by global optimization methods
In this article we report the results of global structural optimization of the Si(114) surface, which is a stable highindex orientation of silicon. We use two independent procedures recently developed for the determination of surface reconstructions, the parallel-tempering Monte Carlo method and the genetic algorithm. These procedures, coupled with the use of a highly optimized interatomic pote...
متن کاملGlobal Optimization For Molecular Clusters Using A New Smoothing Approach
Strategies involving smoothing of the objective function have been used to help solve difficult global optimization problems arising in molecular chemistry. This paper proposes a new smoothing approach and examines some basic issues in smoothing for molecular configuration problems. We first propose a new, simple algebraic way of smoothing the Lennard-Jones energy function, which is an importan...
