many real world problems can be modelled as an optimization problem. evolutionary algorithms are used to solve these problems. ant colony algorithm is a class of evolutionary algorithms that have been inspired of some specific ants looking for food in the nature. these ants leave trail pheromone on the ground to mark good ways that can be followed by other members of the group. ant colony optim...

An energy decomposition scheme based on the block-localized wave function ~BLW! method is proposed. The key of this scheme is the definition and the full optimization of the diabatic state wave function, where the charge transfer among interacting molecules is deactivated. The present energy decomposition ~ED!, BLW-ED, method is similar to the Morokuma decomposition scheme in definition of the ...

the multiple traveling salesman problem (mtsp) is a generalization of the famous traveling salesman problem (tsp), where more than one salesman is used in the solution. although the mtsp is a typical kind of computationally complex combinatorial optimization problem, it can be extended to a wide variety of routing problems. this paper presents an efficient and evolutionary optimization algorith...

an evolutionary structural optimization (eso) method is used for plastic design of frames. based on safe theorems some criteria are derived and made an effort to satisfy them during the optimization process. in this regard, equilibrium is checked and yield condition is gradually satisfied during the optimization process. in this method, the amount of used material and the stiffness for each ele...

We apply a nonlocal adaptive spectral transform for sparse modeling of phase and amplitude of a coherent wave eld. The reconstruction of this complex-valued wave eld from Gaussian noisy observations is considered. The problem is formulated as a multi-objective alternating constrained optimization. The developed iterative algorithm decouples the inversion of the forward propagation operator and ...

Abstarct: This paper presents an algorithm for solving the multi-objective reactive power dispatch problem in a power system. Modal analysis of the system is used for static voltage stability assessment. Loss minimization and maximization of voltage stability margin are taken as the objectives. Generator terminal voltages, reactive power generation of the capacitor banks and tap changing transf...

the present study is concerned with the simultaneous optimization of the size of components and the arrangement of connections for performance-based seismic design of low-rise spsws. design variables include the size of beams and columns, the thickness of the infill panels, the type of each beam-to-column connection and the type of each infill-to-boundary frame connection. the objective functio...

In view of the existing seismic signal analysis model there are some problems is Analysis of the result is bad, the accuracy is not high. This paper puts forward an algorithm based on discrete wavelet and generalized the ICA model of seismic signal analysis. First for continuous Wavelet transform exists redundant of problem, on standard small wave transform algorithm of transform domain in the ...
