As we all know, traditional electromagnetism mechanism (EM) algorithm has the disadvantage with low solution precision, lack of mining ability and easily falling into precocity. This paper proposes a new chaos electromagnetism mechanism algorithm combining chaotic mapping with limited storage QuasiNewton Method (EM-CMLSQN). Its main idea is that it adopts limit quasi-Newton operator to replace ...

Recently, many researchers in the field of automatic content-based image retrieval have devoted a remarkable amount of research looking formethods to retrieve the best relevant images to the query image.This paper presents a novel algorithm for increasing the precision in content-based image retrieval based on electromagnetism optimization technique.The electromagnetism optimization is a nature...

this paper studies the multi-stage supply chain system (msscm) controlled by the kanban mechanism. in the kanban system, decision making is based on the number of kanbans as well as batch sizes. a kanban mechanism is employed to assist in linking different production processes in a supply chain system in order to implement the scope of just-in-time (jit) philosophy. for a msscm, a mixed-integer...

Based on the electromagnetism-like algorithm, an evolutionary algorithm, improved EM algorithm with genetic algorithm technique (IEMGA), for optimization of fractional-order PID (FOPID) controller is proposed in this article. IEMGA is a population-based meta-heuristic algorithm originated from the electromagnetism theory. It does not require gradient calculations and can automatically converge ...

Segmentation is one of the most important tasks in image processing. It consist in classify the pixels into two or more groups depending on their intensity levels and a threshold value. The quality of the segmentation depends on the method applied to select the threshold. The use of the classical implementations for multilevel thresholding is computationally expensive since they exhaustively se...

Fixed charge solid transportation problem (FCSTP) is one of the main and most important problems in transportation and network research areas. To tackle such an NP-hard problem, An Electromagnetism-like algorithm (EM) is employed. To the best of our knowledge, EM has been considered for any kind of transportation problems. Due to the significant role of parameters on the algorithm’s performance...
