Although the interest in nature-inspired optimization of dynamic problems has been growing constantly over the past decade, very little has been done to analyze and characterize a...
To obtain the expertise to correctly perform minimally– invasive vascular interventions thorough training is required. Training using simulation systems are increasingly becomin...
This paper introduces a novel scheme of improving the performance of particle swarm optimization (PSO) by a vector differential operator borrowed from differential evolution (DE)....
Differential evolution (DE) is well known as a simple and efficient scheme for global optimization over continuous spaces. In this paper we present two new, improved variants of D...
We present a theoretical analysis of Watson’s Hierarchicalif-and-only-if (HIFF) problem using a variety of tools. These include schema theory and course graining, the concept of...
