Cuckoo Search (CS) algorithm is a nature-inspired optimization (NIOA) with less control parameters that stable, versatile, and easy to implement. CS has good global search capabilities, but it prone local optima problems. As result, may be possible improve the classic algorithm's capability. Centered on fuzzy set theory, this paper introduces an improved version. The population of solutions bee...

Gravitational search algorithm (GSA) is one of the metaheuristic algorithms that has been popularly implemented in solving various optimization problems. The could perform better highly nonlinear and complex However, GSA also reported to have a weak local ability slow searching speed achieve its convergence. This research proposes two new parameters order improve GSA’s convergence strategy by i...

INTRODUCTION The molecular mechanics energies combined with the Poisson-Boltzmann or generalized Born and surface area continuum solvation (MM/PBSA and MM/GBSA) methods are popular approaches to estimate the free energy of the binding of small ligands to biological macromolecules. They are typically based on molecular dynamics simulations of the receptor-ligand complex and are therefore interme...
