in this paper, matlab code for a recently developed meta-heuristic methodology, the vibrating particles system (vps) algorithm, is presented. the vps is a population-based algorithm which simulates a free vibration of single degree of freedom systems with viscous damping. the particles gradually approach to their equilibrium positions that are achieved from current population and historically b...

this paper presents a comparison study between the multilayer perceptron (mlp) and radial basis function (rbf) neural networks with supervised learning and back propagation algorithm to track hand gestures. both networks have two output classes which are hand and face. skin is detected by a regional based algorithm in the image, and then networks are applied on video sequences frame by frame in...

This work proposes a nodal-based evolutionary design optimization algorithm to frame structures whose edges are the Delaunay triangulation of homogeneously distributed nodes in domain. The remaining can freely sway domain except for loading and boundary nodes. As result, it extend space admissible solutions this problem reduce number variables. Then, sensitivity objective function, namely, sum ...
