Simplified forms of the particle swarm algorithm are very beneficial in contributing to understanding how a particle swarm optimization (PSO) swarm functions. One of these forms, PSO with discrete recombination, is extended and analyzed, demonstrating not just improvements in performance relative to a standard PSO algorithm, but also significantly different behavior, namely, a reduction in burs...

Integration of Global Positioning System (GPS) and Inertial Navigation System (INS) has been extensively used in aircraft applications like autopilot, to provide better navigation, even in the absence of GPS. Even though Kalman Filter (KF) based GPS/INS integration provides a robust solution to navigation, it requires prior knowledge of the error model of INS, which increases the complexity of ...

The Selective Harmonic Elimination (SHE) technique is the fundamental switching frequency scheme which is used to eliminate specific order harmonics. In this paper, the elimination of low order harmonics in cascaded multilevel inverter with equal DC sources is proposed. The modulation strategy used here is SHEPWM in which non linear equations that characterize the low order harmonics are obtain...

This paper presents an optimal design of linear phase digital high pass finite impulse response (FIR) filter using Improved Particle Swarm Optimization (IPSO). In the design process, the filter length, pass band and stop band frequencies, feasible pass band and stop band ripple sizes are specified. FIR filter design is a multi-modal optimization problem. An iterative method is introduced to fin...

in this article, multiple-product pvrp with pickup and delivery that is used widely in goods distribution or other service companies, especially by railways, was introduced. a mathematical formulation was provided for this problem. each product had a set of vehicles which could carry the product and pickup and delivery could simultaneously occur. to solve the problem, two meta-heuristic methods...

In this paper, we present the interaction and co-evolutionary process between genetic algorithm-based agent (GA-based agent) and particle swarm optimization-based agent (PSO-based agent) in the bargaining game. Experimental results show that a PSO-based agent evolves a greedy agent even though the deal can't be accomplished but a GA-based one evolves a passive agent to accomplish a deal. Becaus...

Problem statement: Web service is a technology that provides flexibility and interconnection between different distributed applications over the Internet and intranets. When a client request cannot be satisfied by any individual service, existing web services can be combined into a composite web service. When there are a large number of Web services available, it is not easy to find an executio...

Over communication networks, images can be easily copied and distributed in an illegal way. The copyright protection for authors and owners is necessary. Therefore, the digital watermarking techniques play an important role as a valid solution for authority problems. Digital image watermarking techniques are used to hide watermarks into images to achieve copyright protection and prevent its ill...
