In this paper, we present a memetic algorithm with novel local optimizer hybridization strategy for constrained optimization. The developed MA consists of multiple cycles. In each ...
DIRECT (DIviding RECTangles) is a deterministic global optimization algorithm for bound-constrained problems. The algorithm, based on a space-partitioning scheme, performs both gl...
Because of the increasing dominance of interconnect issues in advanced IC technology, placement has become a critical step in the IC design flow. To get accurate interconnect inf...
This paper considers the problem of designing a controller for an unknown plant based on input/output measurements. The new design method we propose is direct (no model identificat...
In combinatorial solution spaces Iterated Local Search (ILS) turns out to be exceptionally successful. The question arises: is ILS also capable of improving the optimization proces...
