The vehicle routing problem with the capacity constraints was considered in this paper. It is quite difficult to achieve an optimal solution with traditional optimization methods by reason of the high computational complexity for large-scale problems. Consequently, new heuristic or metaheuristic approaches have been developed to solve this problem. In this paper, we constructed a new heuristic ...

In this paper we introduce a simple, computationally inxepentsive, adaptive recursive structure for enhancing bandpass signals highly corrupted by broad-band noise. This adaptive algorithm, enhancing input signals, enables us to estimate the center frequency and the bandwidth of the input signal. In addition, an important feature of the proposed structure is that the conventional bias existing ...

Suppression of noise and artifacts is a necessary step in biomedical data processing. Adaptive filtering is known as useful method to overcome this problem. Among various contaminants, there are some situations such as electrical activities of muscles contribute to impulsive noise. This paper deals with modeling real-life muscle noise with α-stable probability distribution and adaptive filterin...

Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) have long been used in the field of computer security and especially in Intrusion Detection systems. Intrusion detection based on AISs falls into two main categories. The first generation of AIS is inspired from adaptive immune reactions but, the second one which is called danger theory focuses on both adaptive and innate reactions to build a more biologically-re...

In practice, obtaining the global optimum for the economic dispatch {bf (ED)}problem with ramp rate limits and prohibited operating zones is presents difficulties. This paper presents a new andefficient method for solving the economic dispatch problem with non-smooth cost functions using aFuzzy Adaptive Genetic Algorithm (FAGA). The proposed algorithm  deals  with the issue ofcontrolling the ex...

in this study, an optimization model is proposed to design a global supply chain (gsc) for a medical device manufacturer under disruption in the presence of pre-existing competitors and price inelasticity of demand. therefore, static competition between the distributors’ facilities to more efficiently gain a further share in market of economic cooperation organization trade agreement (ecota) is...

Car following process is time-varying in essence, due to the involvement of human actions. This paper develops an adaptive technique for car following modeling in a traffic flow. The proposed technique includes an online fuzzy neural network (OFNN) which is able to adapt its rule-consequent parameters to the time-varying processes. The proposed OFNN is first trained by an growing binary tree le...

in this paper, we propose a novel algorithm to enhance the noisy speech in the framework of dual-channel speech enhancement. the new method is a hybrid optimization algorithm, which employs the  combination of  the  conventional θ-pso and the shuffled sub-swarms particle optimization (sspso) technique. it is known that the θ-pso algorithm has better optimization performance than standard pso al...

In this paper, we propose a class of nonlinear diffusion filtering based on Hammerstein function with the spline adaptive filter (HSAF) implemented by normalised version orthogonal gradient (NOGA) algorithm over distributed network. Diffusion adaptation approximates variable vector help network agents using joint optimisation sum cost function. A HSAF comprises memoryless during learning interp...
