Yellow Saddle Goatfish Algorithm (YSGA) is an optimization model inspired by the hunting behavior of yellow saddle goatfish which emulates their collaborative behaviors with chaser fish and blocker fish. To improve global convergence, chaotic maps have been combined YSGA in this paper. Chaotic a nonlinear deterministic system that displays complex, noisy-like, unpredictable behavior. Due to its...

in this paper,  a heuristic algorithm is proposed in order to solve a nonlinear lexicography goal programming (nlgp) by using an efficient initial point. some numerical experiments showed that the search quality by the proposed heuristic in a multiple objectives problem depends on the initial point features, so in the proposed approach the initial point is retrieved by data envelopment analysis...

In the last decade, the paradigm used by researchers in the study of acute pediatric pain has broadened from simply examining the level of children’s distress behaviors or reports of distress to discerning distress in a historical, medical, and social context. That context includes children’s previous medical treatments, the different phases of the current procedure, the efficacy of particular ...
