despite the growing use of evolutionary multi-objective optimization algorithms in different categories of science, these algorithms as a powerful tool in portfolio optimization and specially solving multi-objective portfolio optimization problem is still in its early stages. in this paper, moeas have been used for solving multi-objective portfolio optimization problem in tehran stock market. f...

blind source separation technique separates mixed signals blindly without any information on the mixing system. in this paper, we have used two evolutionary algorithms, namely, genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization for blind source separation. in these techniques a novel fitness function that is based on the mutual information and high order statistics is proposed. in order to evalu...

in this paper, a chaotic particle swarm optimization with mutation-based classifier particle swarm optimization is proposed to classifypatterns of different classes in the feature space. the introduced mutation operators and chaotic sequences allows us to overcomethe problem of early convergence into a local minima associated with particle swarm optimization algorithms. that is, the mutationope...

Multi-objective clustering algorithms are preferred over its conventional single objective counterparts as they incorporate additional knowledge on properties of data in the from of objectives to extract the underlying clusters present in many datasets. Researchers have recently proposed some standardized multi-objective evolutionary clustering algorithms based on genetic operations, particle s...

A major difficulty in the use of metaheuristics (i.e. evolutionary and particle swarm algorithms) to deal with multi-objective optimization problems is the choice of a convenient point at which to stop computation. Indeed, it is difficult to find the best compromise between the stopping criterion and the algorithm performance. This paper addresses this issue using the Non-dominated Sorting Gene...

Optimization algorithms play a critical role in electromagnetic device designs due to the ever-increasing technological and economical competition. Although evolutionary algorithm-based methods have successfully been applied different design problems, these exhibit deficiencies when solving complex problems with multimodal discontinuous objective functions, which is quite common optimization de...

Placement process is one of the vital stages in physical design. In this stage, modules and elements of circuit are placed in distinct locations according to optimization basis. So that, each placement process tries to influence on one or more optimization factor. In the other hand, it can be told unequivocally that FPGA is one of the most important and applicable devices in our electronic worl...

the dogleg severity is one of the most important parameters in directional drilling. improvement of these indicators actually means choosing the best conditions for the directional drilling in order to reach the target point. selection of high levels of the dogleg severity actually means minimizing well trajectory, but on the other hand, increases fatigue in drill string, increases torque and d...

in this work, by using the particle swarm optimization the electron raman scattering for square double quantum wells is optimized. for this purpose, by combining the particle swarm algorithm together with the numerical solution procedures for equations, and also the perturbation theory we find the optimal structure that maximizes the electron raman scattering. application of this algorithm to t...

In this paper, we proposed a multi-objective Pareto based particle swarm optimization (MOPPSO) to minimize the architectural complexity and maximize the classification accuracy of a polynomial neural network (PNN). To support this, we provide an extensive review of the literature on multi-objective particle swarm optimization and PNN. Classification using PNN can be considered as a multi-object...
