Until now, in the field of electrical engineering, there have been many contributions on optimal design of electromagnetic devices. The gradient based methods such as the steepest descent method have fast convergence ability, however, they are apt to be trapped into a local optima [1]. Compared with gradient based methods, the evolutionary optimization algorithm have strong global searching ability,...
For a multi-source multi-sink computer network with fixed network topology, how to assign the transmission lines to the arcs to provide a certain level of network reliability is an important problem worthy of studying. Considering the assignment cost, this paper investigates the optimal transmission lines assignment problem with minimal assignment cost. At the same time, the data transferring reliability...
The well-known particle swarm optimization (PSO) proposed by Kennedy and Eberhart has been widely applied to the continuous optimal problems. However, it is still intractable to apply PSO to discrete optimization problems, such as permutation flow shop scheduling problems (PFSSP). In this paper, a new high performing metaheuristic algorithm hybridizing PSO with variable neighborhood search (VNS) is...
