چکیده

A novel optimization scheme that makes use of a genetic algorithm to predict the pore size distribution from air permeability measurements is presented. Pore size distribution (PSD) is like the blueprint of a porous medium; all the hydraulic characteristics of the medium can be determined once it is known. However, the available experimental methods to determine the PSD are usually quite time consuming and expensive, yet they do not always provide accurate results. The porous medium is modeled using a modified capillary approach, where the capillaries are composed of sections with different diameters. The genetic algorithm has been tested for different population sizes and generation numbers, and the best possible combination is selected. * Corresponding author Dr Evren Unsal, [email protected]

Multiresponse surface optimization via Harmony search algorithm (Quality Engineering Conference Paper)

Response surface methodology is a common tool in optimizing processes. It mainly concerns situations when there is only one response of interest. However, many designed experiments often involve simultaneous optimization of several quality characteristics. This is called a Multiresponse Surface Optimization problem. A common approach in dealing with these problems is to apply desirability funct...

Optimal Portfolio Allocation based on two Novel Risk Measures and Genetic Algorithm

The problem of optimal portfolio selection has attracted a great attention in the finance and optimization field. The future stock price should be predicted in an acceptable precision, and a suitable model and criterion for risk and the expected return of the stock portfolio should be proposed in order to solve the optimization problem. In this paper, two new criterions for the risk of stock pr...
