Recently many studies on evolutionary algorithms using real encoding have been done. They include ant colony optimization (Socha & Dorigo, 2008), artificial bee colony algorithm (Akay & Karaboga, 2010; Kang et al., 2011), evolution strategies (ES) (Beyer, 2001), differential evolution (Das & Suganthan, 2011; Dasgupta et al., 2009; Kukkonen & Lampinen, 2004; 2005; Mezura-Montes et al., 2010; Nom...

Supervised classification and segmentation of textured images find immense importance in image analysis applications and still continues to be an open research issue to the Computer Vision community. The high performance texture analysis capability of the human visual system have encouraged the researchers to model the characteristics of the receptive cells of the human eye suggesting a close r...

Enhanced genetic algorithms (GA) applied in space-time block coded (STBC)multiuser detection (MUD) systems in Rayleigh flatfading channels are reported in this paper. Firstly, an improved objective function, which is designed to help speed up the search for the optimal solution, is introduced. Secondly, a decorrelating detector (DD) and a minimum mean square error (MMSE) detector have been adde...

To design crossover operators with high search ability in realcoded Genetic Algorithms, it will be efficient to utilize both information regarding the parent distribution and the landscape of the objective function. Here, we propose a new offspring generation method using Delaunay triangulation. The proposed method can concentrate offspring in regions with a satisfactory evaluation value, inher...

Most real-coded genetic algorithm research has focused on developing effective crossover operators, and as a result, many different types have been proposed. Some forms of crossover operators are more suitable to tackle certain problems than others, even at the different stages of the genetic process in the same problem. For this reason, techniques which combine multiple crossovers have been su...

Abstract— A real coded genetic algorithm is applied for designing infinite impulse response (IIR) filter based on L1approximation error criterion. The proposed real coded genetic algorithm, which is a technique for optimization inspired by genetics and natural evolution method, enhances the search capability and provides a fast convergence for calculating the optimal filter coefficients. The fi...

Researchers studying Evolutionary Algorithms and their applications have always been confronted with the sample complexity problem. The relationship between population size and global convergence is not clearly understood. Population size is usually chosen depending on researcher’s experience. In this paper, we study the population size using Probably Approximately Correct (PAC) learning theory...

Fast decoding algorithms are described for a number of established coded aperture systems. The fast decoding algorithms for all these systems offer significant reductions in the number of calculations required when reconstructing images formed by a coded aperture system and hence require less computation time to produce the images. The algorithms may therefore be of use in applications that req...

In this paper, a method based on binary-coded genetic algorithm is proposed to explore an optimization method, for obtaining an optimal elliptical tank. This optimization method enhances the rollover threshold of a tank vehicle, especially under partial filling conditions. Minimizing the overturning moment imposed on the vehicle due to c.g. height of the liquid load, lateral acceleration and ca...
