The paper faces the challenge to generalize existing trends and approaches in the field of artificial intelligence. Under consideration are expert systems, dynamic neural networks, probabilistic reasoning, fuzzy logic, genetic algorithms, multi-agent systems, bio-inspired algorithms, distributed nonlinear computing, chaos-driven pattern recognition. Each approach strengths and limitations are s...

Identifying the best arm of a multi-armed bandit is central problem in optimization. We study quantum computational version this with coherent oracle access to states encoding reward probabilities each as amplitudes. Specifically, we show that can find fixed confidence using $\tilde{O}\bigl(\sqrt{\sum_{i=2}^n\Delta^{\smash{-2}}_i}\bigr)$ queries, where $\Delta_{i}$ represents difference between...

one of the most important applications of multi-objective optimization is adjusting parameters ofpractical engineering problems in order to produce a more desirable outcome. in this paper, the decoupled sliding mode control technique (dsmc) is employed to stabilize an inverted pendulum which is a classic example of inherently unstable systems. furthermore, a new multi-objective particle swarm o...

fuzzy clustering methods are conveniently employed in constructing a fuzzy model of a system, but they need to tune some parameters. in this research, fcm is chosen for fuzzy clustering. parameters such as the number of clusters and the value of fuzzifier significantly influence the extent of generalization of the fuzzy model. these two parameters require tuning to reduce the overfitting in the...

Operation of multi-reservoir systems is known as complicated and often large-scale optimization problems. The problems, because of broad search space, nonlinear relationships, correlation of several variables, as well as problem uncertainty, are difficult requiring powerful algorithms with specific capabilities to be solved. In the present study a Self-adaptive version of Melody Search algorith...

In rigid plastic analysis one of the most widely applicable methods that is based on the minimum principle, is the combination of elementary mechanisms which uses the upper bound theorem. In this method a mechanism is searched which corresponds to the smallest load factor. Mathematical programming can be used to optimize this search process for simple fra...
