Mobile sensors deployment over a target area is an important problem for autonomous operations in applications such as surveillance and environmental monitoring. The problem of optimal deployment of heterogeneous anisotropic field sensor network, having different sensing range, is addressed in this paper. A sensor coverage model for a planar field sensor is developed through introducing a performance...
This paper develops an novel evolutionary algorithm, I Ching algorithm (ICA) for solving optimization problems. The new algorithm employs an novel method by implying new operators from I Ching, which comes from ancient Chinese culture. There are some transformation methods such as a penalty method and a multiplier method. The penalty method is often used to solve optimization problems, because the...
This paper analyses the back pressure match and optimization using a regulated back-pressure valve (BPV) for the cathode outlet flow in a high pressure PEMFC engine. At a given power, the cathode input and output flow rate determine the cathode pressure, and consequently determine the compressor power consumption. In order to maintain a high efficiency during operation, the BPV has to be adjusted...
The Bin Packing Problem (BPP) is one of the classic NP-hard problems in combinatorial optimization. It is difficult to find the optimal solution even though the size of the problem is small. Many researchers applied the traditional evolutionary algorithm, Genetic Algorithms (GA), Evolution Strategy (ES) etc. to solve the BPP problem in recent research. In this study, a new optimization algorithm,...
