Clustering is one of the known techniques in the field of data mining where data with similar properties is within the set of categories. K-means algorithm is one the simplest clustering algorithms which have disadvantages sensitive to initial values of the clusters and converging to the local optimum. In recent years, several algorithms are provided based on evolutionary algorithms for cluster...

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 new approach is proposed for the optimum design of single-phase induction motor. by using the classical design equations and the evolutionary algorithms such as genetic algorithms (ga), particle swarm optimization (pso) and modified particle swarm optimization (mpso), a single phase induction motor (spim) was designed with the maximum efficiency. the finite element method (fem)...

the multiple traveling salesman problem (mtsp) is a generalization of the famous traveling salesman problem (tsp), where more than one salesman is used in the solution. although the mtsp is a typical kind of computationally complex combinatorial optimization problem, it can be extended to a wide variety of routing problems. this paper presents an efficient and evolutionary optimization algorith...
