ABSTRACT: Multi-objective optimization remains a significant and realistic problem in engineering. A trade-off among conflicting objectives subject to equality and inequality constraints is known as ...
Determining the least expensive path for a new subway line underneath a metropolis like New York City is a colossal planning challenge—involving thousands of potential routes through hundreds of city ...
The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For computer scientists, solving problems is a bit like mountaineering. First they must choose a problem to solve—akin to identifying a ...
It’s been difficult to find important questions that quantum computers can answer faster than classical machines, but a new algorithm appears to do it for some critical optimization tasks. For ...
Firefly Aerospace’s robotic vehicle became the second privately built spacecraft to make a soft landing on the moon. It could soon be joined by two more private lunar landers. By Kenneth Chang A ...
Abstract: This paper proposes an improvement of firefly algorithm for optimization problems. In this study, the rao algorithm was applied in crossover and mutation operators instead of procedures of ...
Abstract: In this paper, a novel firefly algorithm (FA) is presented to reduce the dependency on parameters. The new FA algorithm is called dynamic step factor based FA (DSFFA), in which the step ...
