Abstract. In this paper, we consider a nonlinear optimization problem with inequality constraints. The paper addresses the degenerate case when the active constraint gradients are ...
Abstract. In this paper we propose an optimal anytime version of constrained simulated annealing (CSA) for solving constrained nonlinear programming problems (NLPs). One of the goa...
Several kinematic control algorithms for redundant manipulators adopt generalized inverse matrices. In this line of thought, the generalized inverse control scheme is tested throu...
We describe the Enhanced Evolutionary Tabu Search (EE-TS) local search technique. The EE-TS metaheuristic technique combines Reactive Tabu Search with evolutionary computing eleme...
We transform the outputs of each hidden neuron in a multi-layer perceptron network to have zero output and zero slope on average, and use separate shortcut connections to model th...
