optimization of structures for minimum weight has become important in the recent designs. in this study, a genetic optimization algorithm for weight minimization of steel frames has been used. the genetic algorithm is an optimization and search technique based on the principles of genetics and natural selection. constraints regarding material strength and serviceability are taken from “aisc cod...

in this paper a discrete big bang-big crunch algorithm is applied to optimal design of reinforced concrete planar frames under the gravity and lateral loads. optimization is based on aci 318-08 code. columns are assumed to resist axial loads and bending moments, while beams resist only bending moments. second-order effects are also considered for the compression members, and columns are checked...

The aim of this paper is to improve the convergence rate of frame algorithm based on Richardson iteration and Chebyshev methods. Based on Richardson iteration method, we first square the existing convergence rate of frame algorithm which in turn the number of iterations would be bisected and increased speed of convergence is achieved. Afterward, by using Chebyshev polynomials, we improve this s...

in this paper the author considers a general method, based on time domain samples for spectral manipulation of time limited signals. first, the original signal is divided into some frames in the time domain. then, by presenting a suitable theoretical and computational algorithm, and using a method for improving the speed of convergence, we find the local bandwidth of each frame; thereby, each f...

‎We present an application of the dual Gabor frames to image‎ ‎processing‎. ‎Our algorithm is based on finding some dual Gabor‎ ‎frame generators which reconstructs accurately the elements of the‎ ‎underlying Hilbert space‎. ‎The advantages of these duals‎ ‎constructed by a polynomial of Gabor frame generators are compared‎ ‎with their canonical dual‎.

background: increasing frame rate is a challenging issue for better interpretation of medical images and diagnosis based on tracking the small transient motions of myocardium and valves in real time visualization. methods: in this paper, manifold learning algorithm is applied to extract the nonlinear embedded information about echocardiography images from the consecutive images in two dimension...

In this paper a new method for determining the search area for motion estimation algorithm based on block matching is suggested. In the proposed method the search area is adaptively found for each block of a frame. This search area is similar to that of the full search (FS) algorithm but smaller for most blocks of a frame. Therefore, the proposed algorithm is analogous to FS in terms of reg...
