This paper introduces an improved Differential Evolution algorithm (IDE) which aims at improving its performance in estimating the relevant parameters for metabolic pathway data to simulate glycolysis pathway for yeast. ...

Structured evolutionary algorithms have been investigated for some time. However, they have been under explored especially in the field of multi-objective optimization. Despite good results, the use of complex dynamics ...

Unsupervised models can provide supplementary soft constraints to help classify new data since similar instances are more likely to share the same class label. In this context, this paper reports on a study on how to make ...

The problem of optimal capacitor placement (OCP) in three-phase and unbalanced radial distribution systems consists in determining the types, rated power, and in which phases to allocate them, taking into account the ...

This paper proposes a novel metaheuristic framework using a Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm with the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II (NSGA-II). Both algorithms are combined employing a collaborative strategy ...

In an evermore competitive environment, power distribution companies need to continuously monitor and improve the reliability indices of their systems. The network reconfiguration (NR) of a distribution system is a technique ...
