the purpose of this study is to demonstrate the potential of imperialist competitivealgorithm (ica) for solving blasius dierential equation. this algorithm is inspiredby competition mechanism among imperialists and colonies and has demonstrated excellentcapabilities such as simplicity, accuracy, faster convergence and better global optimumachievement in contrast to other evolutionary algorithms...

Digital substations are mostly important in the future of the electric power industry which makes their testing a critical process to ensure the required reliability and security of the grid. The paper introduces the definition of a digital substation and efficient testing, as well as the requirements for isolation during testing. It later describes testing related features in IEC 61850 Edition...

Reinforcement learning and evolutionary strategy are two major approaches in addressing complicated control problems. Both have strong biological basis and there have been recently many advanced techniques in both domains. In this paper, we present a thorough comparison between the state of the art techniques in both domains in complex continuous control tasks. We also formulate the parallelize...

We study quasi-species and closely related evolutionary dynamics like the replicator-mutator equation in high dimensions. In particular, we show that under certain conditions the fitness of almost all quasi-species becomes independent of mutational probabilities and the initial frequency distributions of the sequences in high dimensional sequence spaces. This result is the consequence of the co...
