Abstract. Inspired by observing fireworks explosion, a novel swarm intelligence algorithm, called Fireworks Algorithm (FA), is proposed for global optimization of complex function...
A general-purpose, simulation-based algorithm S-ACO for solving stochastic combinatorial optimization problems by means of the ant colony optimization (ACO) paradigm is investigate...
—Inspired by the contours in topography, this paper proposes a contour method for the population-based stochastic algorithms to solve the problems with continuous variables. Rely...
We propose a general-purpose stochastic optimization algorithm, the so-called annealing stochastic approximation Monte Carlo (ASAMC) algorithm, for neural network training. ASAMC c...
The problem of optimal synthesis of an integrated water system is addressed in this work, where water using processes and water treatment operations are combined into a single net...
