For this paper, we explored the implementation of the cuckoo search algorithm applied to the capacitated vehicle routing problem. The cuckoo search algorithm was implemented with Lévy flights with the 2-opt and double-bridge operations, and with 500 iterations for each run. The algorithm was tested on the problem instances from the Augerat benchmark dataset. The algorithm did not perform well o...

lsmr (least squares minimal residual) is an iterative method for the solution of the linear system of equations and leastsquares problems. this paper presents a block version of the lsmr algorithm for solving linear systems with multiple right-hand sides. the new algorithm is based on the block bidiagonalization and derived by minimizing the frobenius norm of the resid ual matrix of normal equa...

flow shop sequencing problem is included in np-hard problems and a number of heuristic methods have been developed to solve it. most of these methods are offered for the crisp processing time. however fuzzy algorithm is appropriate for the problems with fuzzy processing time. this paper presents a method in which an algorithm is used to minimize make span of flow shop with fuzzy processing time...

web usage mining (wum) is the automatic discovering of hidden informationof user access pattern from the web log data. frequent pattern discovery is one ofthe main techniques in wum that can be used to implement recommender systems,forecast user`s navigational behaviour, and personalize web sites. many algorithmshave been suggested on obtaining frequent user navigation patterns. this paperprese...

in static scheduling problem, where there is no change in situation, the challenge is that the large problems can be solved in a short time. in this paper, the static scheduling problem of automated guided vehicles in container terminal is solved by the network simplex algorithm (nsa). the algorithm is based on graph model and their performances are at least 100 times faster than traditional si...

in this paper, we examine target detection in the surveillance channels of fm-based passive bistatic radars (fbpbrs) in the presence of interference signals in the reference channels of these systems. to do so, we propose a new signal conditioning algorithm to remove interference signals form reference channel. simulation results show that the proposed signal conditioning algorithm outperform t...

this paper uses integrated data envelopment analysis (dea) models to rank all extreme and non-extreme efficient decision making units (dmus) and then applies integrated dea ranking method as a criterion to modify genetic algorithm (ga) for finding pareto optimal solutions of a multi objective programming (mop) problem. the researchers have used ranking method as a shortcut way to modify ga to d...

abstract: regarding the growing use of distributed generation resources, optimal design of these units is necessary in the power system especially in the distribution network. in this paper, cuckoo optimization algorithm with multiple purposes was used to determine optimal location and size of distributed generation resources. the investigated purposes include reducing line losses, reducing med...
