Multi-task clustering and multi-view clustering have severally found wide applications and received much attention in recent years. Nevertheless, there are many clustering problems that involve both multi-task clustering and multi-view clustering, i.e., the tasks are closely related and each task can be analyzed from multiple views. In this paper, for non-negative data (e.g., documents), we int...

this paper uses integrated data envelopment analysis (dea) models to rank all extreme and non-extreme efficient decision making units (dmus) and then applies integrated dea ranking method as a criterion to modify genetic algorithm (ga) for finding pareto optimal solutions of a multi objective programming (mop) problem. the researchers have used ranking method as a shortcut way to modify ga to d...

Modeling mass flows is classically based on hydrostatic balance equations. However, if momentum transfers scale similarly in slope parallel and flow depth directions, then the gravity acceleration can have same order of magnitude effects, urging for a non-hydrostatic model formulation. Here, we extend existing single-phase Boussinesq-type models by developing new multi-phase consisting solid fi...

This paper presents an improved multi-objective group search optimizer (IMGSO) that is based on Pareto theory that is designed to handle multi-objective optimization problems. The optimizer includes improvements in three areas: the transition-feasible region is used to address constraints, the Dealer’s Principle is used to construct the non-dominated set, and the producer is updated using a tab...

In design and fabricate drive shafts with high value of fundamental natural frequency that represented high value of critical speed; using composite materials instead of typical metallic materials could provide longer length shafts with lighter weight. In this paper, multi-objective optimization (MOP) of a composite drive shaft is performed considering three conflicting objectives: fundamental ...

In this article, a multi-objective planning is demonstrated for reactive power compensation in radial distribution networks with wind generation via unified power quality conditioner (UPQC). UPQC model, based on phase angle control (PAC), is used. In presented method, optimal locating of UPQC-PAC is done by simultaneous minimizing of objective functions such as: grid power loss, percentage of n...
