One of the most powerful tools for solving optimization problems is algorithms (inspired by nature) based on populations. These provide a solution to problem randomly searching in search space. The design’s central idea derived from various natural phenomena, behavior and living conditions organisms, laws physics, etc. A new population-based algorithm called Binary Spring Search Algorithm (BSSA...

Multiobjective (MO) optimization is an emerging field which is increasingly being encountered in many fields globally. Various metaheuristic techniques such as differential evolution (DE), genetic algorithm (GA), gravitational search algorithm (GSA), and particle swarm optimization (PSO) have been used in conjunction with scalarization techniques such as weighted sum approach and the normal-bou...

With the increasing power demand, voltage fluctuations are to be controlled for a reliable and stable power system. On the same way voltage fluctuations create reactive power mismatch in the system. To overcome these conditions we have to perform reactive power optimisation that would balance the reactive power flow of the system. There are several methods and algorithms that serve best for thi...

The problem to search for possible correlation between the Gamma Ray Bursts of still unknown origin and data recorded with the Gravitational Wave detectors is studied. A new algorithm for this search based on the Kolmogoroff comparison of distributions is given, which is not affected by the presence of non-gaussian noise.

1 I N T RO D U C T I O N It is generally believed that the most intense gravitational waves (GWs) arriving at the Earth from remote sources in the Universe correspond to very short duration (,1 ms) bursts, generated in the explosion of a supernova (Thorne 1987), or in gamma-ray bursters (Roland, Frossati & Teyssier 1994). Since their very first origins, cylindrical bar GWantennas have been appl...

Multi objective (MO) optimization is an emerging field which is increasingly being implemented in many industries globally. In this work, the MO optimization of the extraction process of bioactive compounds from the Gardenia Jasminoides Ellis fruit was solved. Three swarm-based algorithms have been applied in conjunction with normal-boundary intersection (NBI) method to solve this MO problem. T...
