The Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA) is one of the highly regarded population-based algorithms. It has been reported that GSA a powerful global exploration capability but suffers from limitations getting stuck in local optima and slow convergence speed. In order to resolve aforementioned issues, modified version proposed based on levy flight distribution chaotic maps (LCGSA). LCGSA, diversi...

The main objective of the power system is to supply the total power requirement to the users at minimum possible fuel cost and with minimum emissions. Combined economic and emission load dispatch determines the optimal generation of the power system by minimizing the fuel cost and emission levels simultaneously. Economic Load Dispatch is the most remarkable problem in optimization for forecasti...

Predicting disease is usually done based on the experience and knowledge of doctor. Diagnosis such a traditionally less effective. The development medical diagnosis machine learning in terms prediction provides more accurate than traditional way. In predicting can use artificial neural networks. network consists various algorithms, one which Backpropagation Algorithm. this paper it proposed tha...

Developing optimal flocking control procedure is an essential problem in mobile sensor networks (MSNs). Furthermore, finding the parameters such that the sensors can reach to the target in an appropriate time is an important issue. This paper offers an optimization approach based on metaheuristic methods for flocking control in MSNs to follow a target. We develop a non-differentiable optimizati...

In this paper, the modified linearized Phillips-Heffron model is utilized to theoretically analyze asingle-machine infinite-bus (SMIB) installed with SSSC. Then, the results of this analysis are used forassessing the potential of an SSSC supplementary controller to improve the dynamic stability of apower system. This is carried out by measuring the electromechanical controllability through sing...

cost optimization of the reinforced concrete cantilever soil retaining wall of a given height satisfying some structural and geotechnical design constraints is performed utilizing harmony search and improved harmony search algorithms. the objective function considered is the cost of the structure, and design is based on aci 318-05. this function is minimized subjected to design constraints. a n...

An experience oriented-convergence improved gravitational search algorithm (ECGSA) based on two new modifications, searching through the best experiments and using of a dynamic gravitational damping coefficient (α), is introduced in this paper. ECGSA saves its best fitness function evaluations and uses those as the agents' positions in searching process. In this way, the optimal found trajector...

this paper proposes a novel hybrid algorithm namely apso-bfo which combines merits of bacterial foraging optimization (bfo) algorithm and adaptive particle swarm optimization (apso) algorithm to determine the optimal pid parameters for control of nonlinear systems. to balance between exploration and exploitation, the proposed hybrid algorithm accomplishes global search over the whole search spa...
