This paper proposes to solve the transmission network expansion planning problem (TNEP) using the AC model formulated with full non-linear load flow equations, incorporating the cost of losses in the transmission network. Additionally, the decomposed formulation finds the location and amount of the reactive compensation needed in the system. A comparison between evolutionary programming (EP) and a variation of EP with a Cultural Algorithm (CEP) is presented to solve this very complex optimization problem. The results are obtained using Garver's 6-bus test system and IEEE 24-bus test system.

Correctly tuning the hyperparameters of a machine learning model can improve classification results. Typically hyperparameter tuning is made by humans and experience is needed to fine tune them. Algorithmic approaches have been extensively studied in the literature and can find better results. In our work we employ a quantum genetic algorithm to address the hyperparameter optimization problem. The algorithm is based on qudits instead of qubits, allowing more available states. Experiments were performed on two datasets MNIST and CIFAR10 and results were compared against classic genetic algorithms.

Genome-scale metabolic networks reconstructions from different organisms have become popular in recent years. Genetic engineering is proven to be able to obtain the desirable phenotypes. Optimization algorithms are implemented in previous works to identify the effects of gene knockout on the results. However, the previous works face the problem of falling into local minima. Thus, a hybrid of Bees Algorithm and Flux Balance Analysis (BAFBA) is proposed in this paper to solve the local minima problem and to predict optimal sets of gene deletion for maximizing the growth rate of certain metabolite. This paper involves two case studies that consider the production of succinate and lactate as targets, by using E-coli as model organism. The results from this experiment are the list of knockout genes and the growth rate after the deletion. BAFBA shows better results compared to the other methods. The identified list suggests gene modifications over several pathways and may be useful in solving challenging genetic engineering problems.

This paper presents the application of evolutionary Computation (EC) techniques, Improved evolutionary Strategies (IES), Improved evolutionary programming (IEP) and Improved Genetic Algorithm (IGA) to least cost Generation Expansion Planning (GEP) problem. Least-cost GEP problem is a highly constrained nonlinear discrete dynamic optimization problem. Several conventional non-linear optimization methods have been used to solve the GEP problem. These methods may fail to provide global optima due to involvement of discrete variables in the constraints. Recently EC techniques are used to solve the combinatorial optimization GEP problems, due to its global search characteristics. The GEP problem is illustrated for a synthetic reliable test system with 4, 6 and 14 years planning horizon. The results obtained using IES, IEP and IGA are verified using Dynamic programming (DP) for 4 and 6 year planning horizon. The problem with 14 year planning horizon is simulated using IES, IEP and IGA.

Genetic programming and evolutionary programming are fields studying the application of artificial evolutionon evolving directly executable programs, in form of trees similar to Lisp expressions (GP-trees), or Finite State Automata (FSA).In this exercise, we study the performance of these methods on several example problems, and draw conclusionson the suitability of the representations with respect to the task structure and properties. We investigate the roleof incremental evolution and its bias in the context of FSA representation. The experiments are performed in simulation and/or confirmed on real robots.

This paper describes fast, efficient and global optimization method called wind driven optimization (WDO) algorithm for nulling pattern synthesis of uniformly spaced linear array having maximum side lobe level (SLL) suppression, restricted dynamic range ratio (DRR), beam width and null control by controlling the array elements amplitude-only. A broad null is placed in the direction of maximum interference by undesired signals while receiving signal from the desired direction. The WDO is a new nature-inspired evolutionary algorithm derived from to the point movement of the air parcel in the earth's atmosphere. It uses a new learning strategy to update the velocity and position of air packets based on their current pressure values to accelerate the convergence. The pressure (objective) function is based on an exact penalty method. The results are compared with those obtained by other evolutionary algorithm such as bacterial foraging optimization (BFO), plant growth simulation algorithm (PGSA) and bee algorithm. The simulation study demonstrates that the WDO outperforms the three algorithms particularly in terms of minimum SLL, beam width control, DRR, null control and the rate of convergence.

A new approach for 'ab initio' synthesis of thin lens structure of zoom lenses is reported. This is accomplished by an implementation of evolutionary programming, based on Genetic Algorithm, which explores the available configuration space formed by powers of individual components and inter-component separations. Normalization of the variables is carried out to get an insight on the optimum structures. The method has been successfully used to get thin lens structures of mechanically compensated, optically compensated, and linearly compensated zoom lens systems by suitable formulation of merit function of optimization. Investigations have been carried out on three component and four component zoom lens structures. Illustrative numerical results are presented.

This article presents an optimization study of the noise produced by rotors in the context of Urban Air Mobility (UAM). The importance of this study is based on the expected growth of UAM in larger cities across the globe and on the consequent effort to decrease the noise emitted by this type of aircraft. Provided that rotors constitute a major part of the noise produced by this aviation segment, given the fact that the aircraft are intended to be fully electric, the design of these components is of paramount importance for noise minimization. Herein, the focus is on small rotors given the availability of experimental data to compare the numerical results. For the simulation accomplished within the optimization process, an open-source aerodynamic and aeroacoustic code (FLOWUnsteady, or FLight, Optimization, and Wind Unsteady) was integrated within an optimization module created specifically for the current work. These tools are based on the Formulation 1A of Farassat (PSU-WOPWOP) and the Brooks-Pope-Marcolini airfoil noise model (FLOWNoise), being utilized for the prediction of the tonal and atonal noise, respectively. The simulation code is applied to predict rotor noise which is posteriorly reduced by the means of a gradient-free optimization algorithm, leading to the proposed optimal rotor design, with a reduction of 16,21% of the Energy Averaged Overall Sound Pressure Level (EAOSPL) having been achieved.

The paper presents two alternative schemes for pricing European and American call options, both based on artificial neural networks. The first method uses binomial trees linked to an innovative stochastic volatility model. The volatility model is based on wavelets and artificial neural networks. Wavelets provide a convenient signal/noise decomposition of the volatility in the non-linear feature space. Neural networks are used to infer future volatility levels from the wavelets feature space in an iterative manner. The bootstrap method provides the 95% confidence intervals for the options prices. In the second approach neural networks are trained with genetic algorithms in order to reverse-engineer the Black-Scholes formulae. The standard Black-Scholes model provides a starting point for an evolutionary training process, which yields improved options prices. Market options prices as quoted on the Chicago Board Options Exchange are used for performance comparison between the Black-Scholes model and the proposed options pricing schemes. The proposed models produce as good as and often better options prices than the conventional Black-Scholes formulae.

Packet Radio (PR) networks are to provide data communication among a set of nodes distributed over a region. A time division multiple access (TDMA) protocol is adopted for conflict free communication. The goal is to find a conflict free transmission schedule for different nodes at different time slots of a fixed length time cycle, called TDMA cycle. The optimization criterion is primarily to minimize the TDMA cycle length, and then to maximize the number of transmissions. First classical Genetic Algorithm is tried to solve this NP-complete problem, which showed poor performance for bigger networks. Then we proposed some special crossover operators suitable for this kind of problem. This modified operator could deliver very good quality of results even for big networks and in few generations. Some study on the dependence of the result on population:ion size etc. are studied. The results are empirically compared with other approaches, a greedy-heuristic algorithm and mean field annealing.
