Two test problems on multiobjective optimization (one simple general problem and the
second one on an engineering application of cantilever design problem) are solved using …

Differential evolution (DE) algorithms are commonly used metaheuristics for global
optimization, but there has been very little research done on the generation of their initial …

This paper presents the simulation and optimal design of an auto-thermal ammonia
synthesis reactor. The main objective in the optimal design of an auto-thermal ammonia …

Inverse problems arise from the necessity of obtaining parameters of theoretical models to
simulate the behavior of the system for different operating conditions. Several heuristics that …

This paper presents the application of Differential Evolution (DE), an evolutionary
computation technique for the optimal design of gas transmission network. As a gas …

In the present work the differential evolution approach (DE) is used for the estimation of
radiative properties in two-layer participating media. This physical phenomenon is modelled …

The global optimization of mixed integer non-linear programming (MINLP) problems is an
active research area in many engineering fields. In this work, Differential Evolution (DE), a …

The performance of population based search techniques like Differential Evolution (DE)
depends largely on the selection of initial population. A good initialization scheme not only …

The radiative transfer phenomenon is modeled by an integro-differential equation known as
Boltzmann equation. This equation describes mathematically the interaction of the radiation …

Despite the good accuracy of finite element (FE) models to represent the dynamic behaviour
of mechanical systems, practical applications show significant discrepancies between …
