In this research, a tri-objective mathematical model is proposed for the Transportation-Location-Routing problem. The model considers a three-echelon supply chain and aims to minimize total costs, maximize the minimum reliability of the traveled routes and establish a well-balanced set of routes. In order to solve the proposed model, four metaheuristic algorithms, including Multi-Objective Gre...

This paper presents an algorithm of particle swarm optimization with reduction for global optimization problems. Particle swarm optimization is an algorithm which refers to the collective motion such as birds or fishes, and a multi-point search algorithm which finds a best solution using multiple particles. Particle swarm optimization is so flexible that it can adapt to a number of optimization...

Text Automatic identification of digital signal types is of interest for both civil and military applications. This paper presents an efficient signal type identifier that includes a variety of digital signals. In this method, a combination of higher order moments (HOM) and higher order cumulants (HOC) are used as the features. A multi-layer perceptron neural network with SASS learning algorith...

The most recent approaches of multi-objective optimization constitute application of meta-heuristic algorithms for which, parameter tuning is still a challenge. The present work hybridizes swarm intelligence with fuzzy operators to extend crisp values of the main control parameters into especial fuzzy sets that are constructed based on a number of prescribed facts. Such parameter-less particle ...

In this paper multi objective optimization problem for partitioning process of VLSI circuit optimization is solved using IPO algorithm. The methodology used in this paper is based upon the dynamic of sliding motion along a frictionless inclined plane. In this work, modules and elements of the circuit are divided into two smaller parts (components) in order to minimize the cutsize and area imbal...

This paper assumes each user has more than one queue, derives a new packet-dependant proportional fairness power allocation pattern based on the sum of weight capacity and the packet’s priority in users’ queues, and proposes 4 new cross-layer packet-dependant OFDM scheduling schemes based on proportional fairness for heterogeneous classes of traffic. Scenario 1, scenario 2 and scenario 3 lead r...

This paper presents a novel approach for designing a linear phase digital high pass FIR filter using Improved Particle Swarm Optimization (IPSO) algorithm. Design of FIR f ilter is a multi-modal optimization problem. The conservative gradient based optimization techniques are not efficient for digital filter design. Given the specifications for the filters to be realized, IPSO algorithm generat...

To enhance the optimization ability of particle swarm algorithm, a novel quantum-inspired particle swarm optimization algorithm is proposed. In this method, the particles are encoded by the probability amplitudes of the basic states of the multi-qubits system. The rotation angles of multi-qubits are determined based on the local optimum particle and the global optimal particle, and the multi-qu...
