This paper describes the synthesis of digitally excited pencil/flat top dual beams simultaneously in a linear antenna array constructed of isotropic elements. The objective is to generate a pencil/flat top beam pair using the excitations generated by the evolutionary algorithms. Both the beams share common variable discrete amplitude excitations and differ in variable discrete phase excitations...

this paper focuses upon the development of an efficient method for conceptual design optimization of a satellite. there are many option for a satellite subsystems that could be choice, as acceptable solution to implement of a space system mission. every option should be assessment based on the different criteria such as cost, mass, reliability and technology contraint (complexity). in this rese...

Cellular manufacturing system, an application of group technology, has been considered as an effective method to obtain productivity in a factory. For design of manufacturing cells, several mathematical models and various algorithms have been proposed in literature. In the present research, we propose an improved version of discrete particle swarm optimization (PSO) to solve manufacturing cell ...

Mining Sequential Patterns in large databases has become an important data mining task with broad applications. It is an important task in data mining field, which describes potential sequenced relationships among items in a database. There are many different algorithms introduced for this task. Conventional algorithms can find the exact optimal Sequential Pattern rule but it takes a long time,...

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...

The aim of this paper is to detect bank credit cards related frauds. The large amount of data and their similarity lead to a time consuming and low accurate separation of healthy and unhealthy samples behavior, by using traditional classifications. Therefore in this study, the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) is used in order to reach a more efficient and accurate algorithm. By com...

the analysis of flow in water-distribution networks with several pumps by the content model may be turned into a non-convex optimization uncertain problem with multiple solutions. newton-based methods such as gga are not able to capture a global optimum in these situations. on the other hand, evolutionary methods designed to use the population of individuals may find a global solution even for ...

We compare two multiobjective evolutionary algorithms, with deterministic gradient based optimization methods for the dose optimization problem in high-dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy. The optimization considers up to 300 parameters. The objectives are expressed in terms of statistical parameters, from dose distributions. These parameters are approximated from dose values from a small number of p...

Evolutionary algorithms are heuristic techniques based on Darwinian model of evolutionary processes, which can be used to find approximate solutions of optimization and adaptation problems. Agent-based evolutionary algorithms are a result of merging two paradigms: evolutionary algorithms and multi-agent systems. In this paper agent-based evolutionary algorithm for solving well known Traveling S...
