The theoretical analysis of evolutionary algorithms is believed to be very important for understanding their internal search mechanism and thus to develop more efficient algorithms. This paper presents a simple mathematical analysis of the explorative search behavior of a recently developed metaheuristic algorithm called harmony search (HS). HS is a derivative-free real parameter optimization algorithm,...
The current explosion of digital media creates threats towards the security in multimedia data broadcasting. Watermarking technique becomes a prospective solution to this coercion by means of Intellectual Property Right Protection, Authentication and Integrity Verification of digital media. In this paper we introduce an approach that enables us to develop a low power, real time, reliable and secure...
A raised cosine filter based interpolation for the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) technique is presented in this paper as an alternative to the cubic spline interpolation used in the original implementation. By adjusting a parameter in the proposed technique one can control the quality of decomposition of the algorithm. This results in superior performance compared to the original approach which...
This paper presents a simple mathematical analysis of some features of the Harmony Search algorithm (HS). HS is a recently developed derivative-free optimization algorithm, which draws inspiration from the musical process of searching for a perfect state of harmony. This work analyses the evolution of the population-variance over successive generations in HS and thereby draws some important conclusions...
