Selecting approaches with appropriate accuracy and suitable speed for the purpose of making decision is one of the managers’ challenges. Also investing decision is one of the main decisions of managers and it can be referred to securities transaction in financial markets which is one of the investments approaches. When some assets and barriers of real world have been considered, optimization of...

In order to overcome the weakness that particle swarm optimization algorithm is likely to fall into local minimum when the complex optimization problems are solved, a new adaptive dynamic particle swarm optimization algorithm is proposed. The paper introduces the evaluation index of particle swarm premature convergence to judge the state of particle swarm in the population space, for the sake o...

this paper proposes the exchange market algorithm (ema) to solve the combined economic and emission dispatch (ceed) problems in thermal power plants. the ema is a new, robust and efficient algorithm to exploit the global optimum point in optimization problems. existence of two seeking operators in ema provides a high ability in exploiting global optimum point. in order to show the capabilities ...

assigning a set of objects to groups such that objects in one group or cluster are more similar to each other than the other clusters’ objects is the main task of clustering analysis. sspco optimization algorithm is anew optimization algorithm that is inspired by the behavior of a type of bird called see-see partridge. one of the things that smart algorithms are applied to solve is the problem ...

Genetic algorithm is a global probability search algorithm developed by simulating the biological natural selection and genetic evolution mechanism and it has excellent global search ability, however, in practical applications, premature convergence occurs easily in the genetic algorithm. This paper proposes an self-adaptive multi-peak immune genetic algorithm (SMIGA) and this algorithm integra...

This paper presents a robust hybrid improved dolphin echolocation and ant colony optimization algorithm (IDEACO) for optimization of truss structures with discrete sizing variables. The dolphin echolocation (DE) is inspired by the navigation and hunting behavior of dolphins. An improved version of dolphin echolocation (IDE), as the main engine, is proposed and uses the positive attributes of an...

rainfall-runoff modeling is most important component in the water resource management of river basins. the successful application of a conceptual rainfall-runoff model depends on how well it is calibrated. the degree of difficulty in solving the global optimization method is generally dependent on the dimensionality of the model and certain of the characteristics of object function. the purpose...

in this paper, we proposed an algorithm for solving the problem of task scheduling using particle swarm optimization algorithm, with changes in the selection and removing the guide and also using the technique to get away from the bad, to move away from local extreme and diversity. scheduling algorithms play an important role in grid computing, parallel tasks scheduling and sending them to appr...

reversible logic circuits have found emerging attentions in nanotechnology,optical computing, quantum computing and low power design. a programmablelogic array (pla) is a universal circuit which is used to implement combinationallogic circuits. the main part of a pla is its and array. in this study we propose twotypes of optimized reversible programmable logic array (rpla) circuits. the firstty...
