An orthogonal genetic algorithm is developed for solving the binary linear implicit programming problem based on the orthogonal design. The orthogonal design with the factor analysis, an experimental design method is applied to the genetic algorithm to make the algorithm more robust, statistical y sound and quickly convergent. A crossover operator formed by the orthogonal array and the factor analysis is presented. First, this crossover operator can generate a smal but representative sample of points as offspring. After al of the better genes of these offspring are selected, a best combination among these offspring is then generated. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.展开更多

A good-point set theory that helps to produce a uniform initial population is used to enhance the optimization efficiency of the genetic algorithm. The crossover and mutation probabilities are improved by using the function of sigmoid and they can be adjusted nonlinearly between average fitness and maximal fitness with individual fitness. Based on the analyses of different structures between the LIM and the rotary induction motor （RIM） and referring to the analysis method of the RIM, the steady-state characteristics of the LIM that considers the end effects of the LIM is calculated and the optimal design model of the thrust-power ratio index is also presented. Through the comparison between the optimal scheme and the old scheme, the thrust-power ratio index of the LIM is obviously increased and the validity of the NAGA is proved.展开更多

Various methods are proposed for solving this problem. Of all the algorithms, the ge- netic algorithm is an alternative to conventional approaches to find the solution of the bilevel linear programming. In this paper, we describe an adaptive genetic algorithm for solving the bilevel linear programming problem to overcome the difficulty of determining the probabilities of crossover and mutation. In addition, some techniques are adopted not only to deal with the difficulty that most of the chromosomes maybe infeasible in solving constrained optimization problem with genetic algorithm but also to improve the efficiency of the algorithm. The performance of this proposed algorithm is illustrated by the examples from references.展开更多

In application of this method, first, the traditional Genetic Programming（GP） is used to generate the nonlinear input-output models that are represented in a binary tree structure; then, the Orthogonal Least Squares algorithm （OLS） is used to estimate the contribution of the branches of the tree （refer to basic function term that cannot be decomposed anymore according to special rule） to the accuracy of the model, which contributes to eliminate complex redundant subtrees and enhance GP＇s convergence speed; and finally, a simple, reliable and exact linear-in-parameter nonlinear model via GP evolution is obtained. The real aero-engine start process test data simulation and the comparisons with Support Vector Machines （SVM） validate that the proposed method can generate more applicable, interpretable models and achieve comparable, even superior results to SVM.展开更多

However, they have a major drawback related to the time complexity and memory occupation when running on a uniprocessor computer. This paper proposes a parallel decoder for linear block codes, using parallel genetic algorithms (PGA). The good performance and time complexity are confirmed by theoretical study and by simulations on BCH(63,30,14) codes over both AWGN and flat Rayleigh fading channels. The simulation results show that the coding gain between parallel and single genetic algorithm is about 0.7 dB at BER = 10﹣5 with only 4 processors.展开更多

It first studies circling trajectories and derives some stability conditions by quantitative analysis in the state transition graph.

The hypocenters location of selected earthquakes and crustal structure of this area are obtained using the travel time data of local earthquakes acquired by the Telemetered Seismic Network of Northern China. The mean and standard residuals of hypocenter location acquired by this method are much less than those provided by the report of respective earthquakes. The crustal structure of the first and the second layers obtained interpret the outline of the plain and mountain area in the region successfully and the crustal structure of the third layer nearly coincides with the Moho discontinuity obtained by artificial seismic sounding. These show the genetic algorithm is effective to the inversion of hypocenter location and three dimensional velocity structure.展开更多
