We consider a shape optimization problem written in the optimal control form: governing operator is $p$-Laplacian Euclidean space $\\mathbb{R}^d$, cost of an integral type, and variable domain state equation. Conditions that guarantee existence will be discussed various situations. It proved domains have finite perimeter and, under some suitable assumptions, they are open sets. A crucial differ...

The Distributed Constraint Optimization Problem (DCOP) formulation is a powerful tool for modeling multi-agent coordination problems. To solve DCOPs in dynamic environment, Dynamic (D-DCOPs) have been proposed to model the inherent dynamism present many D-DCOPs sequence of static problems by reacting changes environment as agents observe them. Such reactive approaches ignore knowledge about fut...

this paper proposes a method to solve multi-objective problems using improved particle swarm optimization. we propose leader particles which guide other particles inside the problem domain. two techniques are suggested for selection and deletion of such particles to improve the optimal solutions. the first one is based on the mean of the m optimal particles and the second one is based on appoin...

Beginning  in  2011  an  international  academic  contest  named  as  International  Student Competition  in  Structural  Optimization  (ISCSO)  has  been  organized  by  the  authors  to encourage undergraduate and graduate students to solve structural engineering optimization&nbs...

In this paper, two algorithms have been developed for allocation and size determination of Active Power Filters (APF) in power systems. In the first algorithm, the objective is to minimize harmonic voltage distortion. The objective in the second algorithm is to minimize the new APF injection currents while satisfying harmonic standards. Genetic algorithm is proposed for these two optimization p...
