Continuous Optimization by Evolving Probability Density Functions with a Two-Island Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
The work presents a new evolutionary algorithm designed for continuous optimization. The algorithm is based on evolution of probability density functions, which focus on the most promising zones of the domain of each variable. Several mechanisms are included to self-adapt the algorithm to the feature of the problem. By means of an experimental study, we have observed that our algorithm obtains good results of precision, mainly in multimodal problems, in comparison with some state-of-the-art evolutionary methods.

متن کاملA continuous approximation fitting to the discrete distributions using ODE
The probability density functions fitting to the discrete probability functions has always been needed, and very important. This paper is fitting the continuous curves which are probability density functions to the binomial probability functions, negative binomial geometrics, poisson and hypergeometric. The main key in these fittings is the use of the derivative concept and common differential ...

The Isogeometric Analysis (IA) method is applied for structural topology optimization instead of the finite element method. For this purpose, the material density is considered as a continuous function throughout the design domain and approximated by the Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline (NURBS) basis functions. The coordinates of control points which are also used for constructing the density func...
متن کاملBelief functions induced by multimodal probability density functions, an application to the search and rescue problem
Abstract. In this paper, we propose a new method to generate a continuous belief functions from a multimodal probability distribution function defined over a continuous domain. We generalize Smets’ approach in the sense that focal elements of the resulting continuous belief function can be disjoint sets of the extended real space of dimension n. We then derive the continuous belief function fro...
