When the electronic nose (E-nose) is used to predict the concentration of mixed gas, the
traditional regression prediction algorithm may lead to unsatisfactory prediction results and …

This paper proposes a quick and accurate method based on an improved quantum-behaved
particle swarm optimization (QPSO) algorithm for route planning of fixed-wing unmanned …

The ever-increasing electricity demand, its dependency on fossil fuels, and the consequent
environmental degradation are major concerns of this era. The worldwide domination of …

Motivated by concepts in quantum mechanics and particle swarm optimization (PSO),
quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization (QPSO) was proposed as a variant of PSO …

Reliability optimization of a redundancy allocation problem is an important area of research
in the literature. The main purpose of this type of problem is to enhance the reliability of the …

Aroma plays a significant role in the quality of citrus fruits and processed products. The
detection and analysis of citrus volatiles can be measured by an electronic nose (E-nose); in …

Many engineering optimization problems may be rephrased in terms of equivalent binary
problems, and these can be effectively tackled with evolutionary algorithms. Unfortunately …

In this paper a novel Quantum Double Delta Swarm (QDDS) algorithm modeled after the
mechanism of convergence to the center of attractive potential field generated within a …

Low-concentration samples play an important role in the training of the electronic nose (E-
nose), while low-concentration samples are difficult to obtain because of the limited …
