The design optimization of synchronous reluctance (SyR) machine and its extension to internal permanent magnet (IPM) motors for wide speed ranges is considered in this paper by means of a Finite Element Analysis-based multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA). The paper is focused on the rotor design, that is controversial key aspect of the design of high saliency SyR and IPM machines, due to the difficult modeling dominated by magnetic saturation. A three step procedure is presented, to obtain a starting SyR design with the optimal torque versus torque ripple compromise and then properly include PMs into the SyR geometry, given the desired constant power speed range of the final IPM machine. The designed rotors have been extensively analyzed by computer simulations and two SyR prototypes have been realized to demonstrate the feasibility of the design procedure.

The biological world is an ideal place for seeking inspiration for developing mathematical optimization algorithms. In this paper we propose two hybrid stochastic optimization algorithms that bear resemblance to the sexual reproduction cycle of Jellyfish and asexual reproductive cycle of species of Hydra. The performance of these two algorithms are investigated against other common optimization algorithms on a set of benchmark optimization problems. The results show that the proposed algorithms perform well.

Molecular communications are envisioned to transform medicine and environmental sciences, but currently only small, isolated networks have been deployed. It is essential, then, to develop new mechanisms to enable information flow from remote users to nanometric biological machines through next-generation networks, such as 6G mobile technologies. 6G mobile networks are characterized by an extreme Quality-of-Service, but in the context of molecular communications, two requirements turn critical: ultra-massive and extremely reliable communications. Molecular communications are simplex, so there is typically no channel to transmit acknowledgment messages. Furthermore, several nanometric receptors concentrated in just some square micrometers are an ultra-massive device density for 6G base stations. In this paper, we propose a computational algorithm to make reliable and massive 6G mobile molecular communications feasible. The proposed algorithm employs clustering to create a real-time map with the positions of the biological nanometric machines, and particle swarm optimization to track the identity of the different machines while slowly moving. To handle ultra-massive density, clustering operates by defining which magnetic particles used as communication interface belong to the same biological machine. While the optimization mechanism considers the current and previous clustering results and a probabilistic model to determine the identity of each cell. Reliability is achieved by an acknowledgment message generated by a 6G transceiver when the biological machines reach the expected destination. Simulation tools are employed to validate the proposed solution. Results show that the identification error is less than 15%, and the reliability achieves a probability of up to 90%.

Particle swarm optimization constitutes currently one of the most important nature-inspired metaheuristics, used successfully for both combinatorial and continuous problems. Its popularity has stimulated the emergence of various variants of swarm-inspired techniques, based in part on the concept of pair-wise communication of numerous swarm members solving optimization problem in hand. This paper overviews some examples of such techniques, namely Fully Informed Particle Swarm optimization (FIPSO), Firefly Algorithm (FA) and Glowworm Swarm optimization (GSO). It underlines similarities and differences among them and studies their practical features. Performance of those algorithms is also evaluated over a set of benchmark instances. Finally, some concluding remarks regarding the choice of suitable problem-oriented optimization technique along with areas of possible improvements are given as well.

This paper presents a smart navigation system that uses Building Information Modeling (BIM) data extracted from Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) files to generate a graph network for efficient path planning. The proposed method focuses on the construction of a graph networks, and the application of optimization algorithms to estimate optimal paths in a building environment. First, we extract relevant information about the building such as spaces, doors. This data serves to construct a graph network that represents the connectivity and relationships between different spaces in the building. Once the graph network is established, optimization algorithms are used to estimate optimal paths for navigation. The proposed method aims to provide accurate and efficient path recommendations, enhancing navigation in the building environment. The performance of our method is evaluated using a larger graph network derived from a real-world building. The results demonstrate the potential of the smart navigation system in achieving reliable path planning.

Conventional silicon optical waveguide can be effectively coupled to plasmonic waveguide, but there is no structure of comparable coupling efficiency, wide optical bandwidth and polarization independence to convert light from silicon waveguide to metal-dielectric-metal (MDM) waveguide. In this paper, we investigate a novel mode converter based on the embedded coding metamaterials to effectively convert the TE/TM mode in a silicon waveguide to the SPPs mode. We use some optimization methods (genetic algorithm, particle swarm optimization, multi-traversal direct-binary search and simulated annealing) in the design of coding metamaterials to improve the performance metrics. In order to obtain better results, we change the value of different parameters under the control of a single variable to study its influence on the structure of the design. The simulation results have been demonstrated numerically that high transmission efficiency is up to 93% and the bandwidth can cover from 1450 nm to 1650 nm, the converter can perform polarization-invariant conversion as well. Compared with the previous researches, we not only propose a high-performance mode converter but also introduce an efficient algorithm for the inverse design of coding metamaterials.

In recent years, in the aerospace industry, there has been a trend based on replacing the classic metallic materials with new advanced materials such as carbon fiber composites (CFC), fiberglass, etc. Due to this, the electromagnetic (EM) characterization of these new materials is essential to maintain safety and EM compatibility. This article will focus on the free space measurement technique, from which a series of optimization algorithms have been developed, allowing the extraction of permittivity and permeability of materials in a frequency range up to 40 GHz using the Time-Domain Gating from a Vector Network Analyzer (VNA).

PID controller tuning plays a very important role in the proper functioning of the plant in which the controller is incorporated. A modification to the already existing algorithms like the differential evolution (DE), particle swarm optimization (PSO) and teaching-learning-based optimization (TLBO) algorithms is done in this paper. The modification is done in the initialization method and is called the two stage initialization (TSI). In TSI, the population vector generation is done randomly in two stages. Then the newly generated population vector from TSI would go through the rest of the phases involved in the algorithms. Further, these two stage initialized optimization algorithms and their original versions are used to tune the PID controller for automatic voltage regulator (AVR) system. Comparison of the results so obtained due to the application of six optimization algorithms out of which three are already existing ones and the other three are their TSI versions to PID-AVR system is also done. It can be realized that TSI helps the existing algorithms to have greater convergence rate and also to converge at a lesser minimum value of the objective function.

In order to obtain accurate and reliable network planning and optimization results. The characteristics of WCDMA networks such as power control, soft handover (SHO) and the strong couplings between coverage and capacity have to be modelled accurately. These characteristics lead to unprecedented complexity of WCDMA radio network planning and optimisation that has not been seen in previous cellular networks. In this paper, we will present mathematical models that consider the characteristics of WCDMA radio networks. We will also present and compare the performance of four optimisation algorithms based on meta-heuristics that can be used to find solutions for practical WCDMA radio network planning and optimisation.
