In this paper a new hybrid glowworm swarm algorithm (SAGSO) for solving structural optimization problems is presented. The structure proposed to be optimized here is a simply-supported concrete I-beam ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In 1939, upon arriving late to his statistics course at UC Berkeley, George Dantzig—a first-year graduate student—copied two problems ...

The leading approach to the simplex method, a widely used technique for balancing complex logistical constraints, can’t get any better. In 1939, upon arriving late to his statistics course at the ...

Abstract: Particle swarm optimization (PSO), genetic algorithm (GA), and nonlinear simplex optimization method (SOM) are some of the most prominent gradient-free optimization algorithms in engineering ...

Multiple objectives to be optimized simultaneously are prevalent in real-life problems. This paper develops a new Pareto Method for bi-objective optimization which yields analytical solutions. The ...

Process integration and optimization are important areas within process system engineering. It identifies targets and utilizes synergies in the overall production process, and minimizes the ...

Abstract: A new heuristic optimization algorithm is presented to solve the nonlinear optimization problems. The proposed algorithm utilizes a stochastic method to achieve the optimal point based on ...

Article Views are the COUNTER-compliant sum of full text article downloads since November 2008 (both PDF and HTML) across all institutions and individuals. These metrics are regularly updated to ...
