Gear reducer is one of the most widely used methods in mechanical transmission, optimization of which is of great significance in improving the bearing capacity, prolonging service life and reducing its size and quality. By Visual Basic programming mixed with MATLAB, automatic optimization design for gear reducer is realized in the paper, design efficiency and quality greatly improved. Genetic algorithm...
In this paper, the author converts inequality constrained optimization problem into equality constrained optimization problem by using slack variables. Then we construct a new multiplier penalty function using the penalty function who belongs to equality constraints and was raised by Bertskas in 1982.
Since system identification is closely related to control theory it is quite convenient that common tools of control may prove to be useful for identification as well. Semidefinite programming is now considered as a standard tool in control theory, however its applications for identification purposes are rare. This paper shows how L1 identification of the ARX model structure can be formulated as a...
Operating municipal infrastructure projects are a special operation model that the Government and the project investors achieve the operating infrastructure projects by signing infrastructure concession contracts. This paper is aimed at the feature of operating infrastructure projects to achieve the objective of maximizing the value of the projects, under the conditions the concession period and the...
This paper addresses a new uncertainty set - interval random uncertainty set for robust Value-at-Risk optimization. The form of interval random uncertainty set makes it suitable for capturing the downside and upside deviations of real-world data. These deviation measures capture distributional asymmetry and lead to better optimization results. We also apply our interval random chance-constrained programming...
Wireless spectrum is a limited and valuable resource for communications. However, wireless spectrum is known to be underutilized in spacial, temporal, and spectral domains. The dynamic spectrum access (DSA) of cognitive radio networks provides the capability to improve the spectrum efficiency by allowing secondary users to access the spectrum opportunistically without interfering primary users. The...
Nowadays, many industries use the Computerized Numerical Control (CNC) for Printed Circuit Board (PCB) drilling machines in industrial operations. It takes a long time to find optimal tour for large number of nodes (up to thousands). To achieve more effective results, optimization systems approach is required to be equipped in drilling machine. Euclidean Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) is one of...
Graphic Processing Unit (GPU), with many light-weight data-parallel cores, can provide substantial parallel computing power to accelerate several general purpose applications. Both the AMD and NVIDIA corps provide their specific high performance GPUs and software platforms. As the floating-point computing capacity increases continually, the problem of ``memory-wall'' becomes more serious, especially...
This paper introduces a self adaptive differential evolution (SADE) and self-tuning Hybrid differential Evolution (HDE) methods for dealing with optimal reactive power dispatch aiming at power loss reduction. The optimum reactive power dispatch of power systems is to allocate reactive power control variables so that the objective function composed of power losses is minimized and the prescribed voltage...
This paper presents Biogeography Based Optimization (BBO) technique for solving constrained economic dispatch problems in power system, Considering valve point nonlinearities of generators. In this paper, two ELD problems of different characteristics have been used to investigate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm A comparison of simulation results reveals that the proposed algorithm is better...
Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a new robust swarm intelligence technique, which has exhibited good performance on well-known numerical test problems. Though many improvements published aims to increase the computational efficiency, there are still many works need to do. Inspired by evolutionary programming theory, this paper proposes a self-adaptive particle swarm optimization in which the velocity...
This paper presents a coevolutionary algorithm named cooperative coevolutionary invasive weed optimization (CCIWO) and investigates its performance for global optimization of functions with numerous local optima and also Nash equilibrium (NE) search for games. Ability of CCIWO for function optimization is tested through a set of common benchmarks of stochastic optimization, and reported results are...
This paper proposes a design methodology for solving a multi-objective circuit design problem, which is based on formulating the problem as a multi-objective geometric program (MOGP) with variable weight factors. In general, to solve the problem using GP, multiple objectives are combined into a scalar objective by assigning arbitrary, fixed weight factors to individual objectives. On the contrary,...
In this paper, we consider a finite n-person non cooperative game. A non-linear optimization model is formulated in a space of dimension equal to sum of the total number of pure strategies in the game and the number of players. A Nash equilibrium of the given game is shown to be equivalent to an optimal solution of the optimization model with zero optimal value. The algorithm is coded in MATLAB using...
