During the last two decades, the water resources planning and management profession has
seen a dramatic increase in the development and application of various types of …

This article discusses solving non-linear programming problems containing integer, discrete
and continuous variables. A novel optimization method based on a recently introduced …

This paper presents an improved particle swarm optimizer (PSO) for solving multimodal
optimization problems with problem-specific constraints and mixed variables. The standard …

The standard binary-coded genetic algorithm (GA) has been improved using the three
strategies of automatic search space shifting to achieve hill-climbing, automatic search …

The design of a rendezvous phasing strategy can be formulated as a mixed integer
nonlinear programming problem. A new hybrid approach combining a genetic algorithm with …

This thesis presents a discussion on the study undertaken in the application of the monthly
time step Pitman rainfall-runoff model to the Kafue River basin. The study constituted one of …

This paper presents an optimization algorithm for engineering design problems having a mix
of continuous, discrete and integer variables; a mix of linear, non-linear, differentiable, non …

This paper is a compilation of urban wet weather flow (WWF) literature reviews for the
eleven years from 1996 through 2006. This subject, urban wet-weather flows, is comprised …

The design of a rendezvous phasing special-point maneuvers can be formulated as a mixed
one-zero, integer and continuous design variables problem. A hybrid approach combining …

There is evidence that hydrologic systems exhibit memory processes that may be
represented by fractional order systems. A new theory is developed in this work that …
