This note examines the utility of pseudorandom variables (prv) in Global Search and Optimization (GSO) using Central Force Optimization (CFO) as an example. Most GSO metaheuristics are stochastic in ...

In experiments, researchers showed that the disease-spreading insects couldn’t resist the sweet smell of a fungus that infected and killed them. By Jason P. Dinh Watch your back, DEET. There’s a new ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For computer scientists, solving problems is a bit like mountaineering. First they must choose a problem to solve—akin to identifying a ...

Abstract: Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) are the solution approaches for solving optimization problems using the classical generate-and-test method. These algorithms are widely used by the ...

The operation of the power grid is closely related to meteorological disasters. Changes in meteorological conditions may have an impact on the operation and stability of the power system, leading to ...
