In view of the traditional support vector machine (SVM) learning algorithm’s learning parameters is not easy determined in the process of video key frame extraction and the accuracy is low, an independent perturbation variable difference SVM algorithm is used for video key frame extraction. First of all, analyzed the biological mechanism of differential evolution algorithm, put forward an impro...

In recent years, soft computing methods have generated a large research interest. The synthesis of the fuzzy logic and the evolutionary algorithms is one of these methods. A particular evolutionary algorithm (EA) is differential evolution (DE). As for any EA, DE algorithm also requires parameters tuning to achieve desirable performance. In this paper tuning the perturbation factor vector of DE ...

the multivariate exponentially weighted moving average (mewma) control chart is one of the best statistical control chart that are usually used to detect simultaneous small deviations on the mean of more than one cross-correlated quality characteristics. the economic design of mewma control charts involves solving a combinatorial optimization model that is composed of a nonlinear cost function ...

Optimal design of cantilever reinforced concrete retaining wall can lead considerable cost saving if its involvement in hill road formation and railway line formation is significant.  A study of weight reduction optimization of reinforced cantilever retaining wall subjected to a sloped backfill using Differential Evolution Algorithm (DEA) is carried out in the present research.  The r...

The shape optimization of gravity dam is posed as an optimization problem with goals of minimum value of concrete, stresses and maximum safety against overturning and sliding need to be achieved. Optimally designed structure generally saves large investments especially for a large structure. The size of hydraulic structures is usually huge and thus requires a huge investment. If the optimizatio...

Differential Evolution (DE) is a novel evolutionary approach capable of handling nondifferentiable, non-linear and multi-modal objective functions. DE has been consistently ranked as one of the best search algorithm for solving global optimization problems in several case studies. This paper presents an Improved Constraint Differential Evolution (ICDE) algorithm for solving constrained optimiza...

Optimal reactive power dispatch of power systems is a complicated nonlinear combinatorial optimization problem. The Differential Evolution Algorithm (DEA) is an effective method to solve such problems. But DE still has some drawbacks like slow convergence speed and the parameters selection having a great effect on the algorithm performance. So a modified differential evolution is proposed in th...

In this paper, an improved multi-objective differential evolution algorithm(IDEA) is proposed for multi-objective optimization problems. In IDEA, the select operator combines the advantages of DE with the mechanisms of Pareto-based ranking and distance density, besides, a randomly migration strategy is proposed. IDEA is implemented on four classical multi-objective problems, the simulation resu...

In order to serve for the ecological monitoring efficiency of Poyang Lake, an improved hybrid algorithm, mixed with differential evolution and particle swarm optimization, is proposed and applied to optimize the coverage problem of wireless sensor network. And then, the affect of the population size and the number of iterations on the coverage performance are both discussed and analyzed. The fo...
