numerous problems encountered in real life cannot be actually formulated as a single objective problem; hence the requirement of multi-objective optimization (moo) had arisen several years ago. due to the complexities in such type of problems powerful heuristic techniques were needed, which has been strongly satisfied by swarm intelligence (si) techniques. particle swarm optimization (pso) has ...

As a solution for sequence optimization, and to obtain that is strong robustness variations, multi-objective robust design optimization (MORDO) genetic algorithm (GA) are applied problem. result, it found the MORDO good method obtaining with condition even in problem optimization. Moreover, confirmed GA advantageous as regards calculation time. making best use of these advantages, hybrid propos...

A new optimization method is proposed in this paper for finding the firing angles in multi-level voltage source inverters to eliminate low-order selective harmonics and reduce total harmonic distortion (THD) value of the output voltage. For thid end, Fourier series is used for calculating objective function and selecting specific harmonics. Regarding the nature and complexity of the employed no...

In this paper, we present a high order sliding mode controller of a DC motor drive connected to a multi-cellular converter. More specifically, we design a second order (super twisting) control algorithm for the speed regulation of a DC motor. For this, a switching control for the multi-cellular converter is derived in order to supply the correct reference value for the speed regulation. A pract...

vendor selection decisions are complicated by the fact that various conflicting multi-objective factors must be considered in the decision making process. the problem of vendor selection becomes still more compli-cated with the inclusion of incremental discount pricing schedule. such hard combinatorial problems when solved using meta heuristics produce near optimal solutions. this paper propose...

a three stage production system is considered in this paper. there are two stages to fabricate and ready the parts and an assembly stage to assembly the parts and complete the products in this system. suppose that a number of products of different kinds are ordered. each product is assembled with a set of several parts. at first the parts are produced in the first stage with parallel machines a...
