In deriving automatic numerical optimization algorithms for aerodynamic applications, it is quite important to choose a suitable cost function and a suitable set of design parameters. The unknown airfoil/blade profiles are usually chosen to be the design parameters. However, there are certain advantages in using the pressure/velocity distribution as the design variable in some applications;the optimized distribution can be used in a three-dimensional inverse design method to generate the actual profile shape. In this paper this approach will be addressed. Two methods are used to parameterize the circulation distribution for compressor blades. The Dawes code is used to calculate the viscous effect. An automatic optimization algorithm is developed, and two objective functions defined by the entropy loss or the aerodynamic blockage are examined.

Peephole optimization when integrated with automatic code generation into a uniform framework has significant advantages in the specification and implementation of efficient compiler back-ends. Attribute grammars provide a framework for expression of machine-specific code optimizations. We present a grammar-driven peephole optimization algorithm that is particularly well suited to attributed-parsing code generators. Integration via semantic attributes corrects interrelated phase-ordering problems and produces a faster and smaller compiler back-end.

During actual flight processes, aircraft face various complex operating conditions and must consider the requirements of different disciplines to achieve good overall performance. Multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) for aircraft is a complex and time-consuming task, making efficiency crucial in aircraft design. This paper starts from the conventional MDO process, covering five aspects including design variables, performance evaluation methods, MDO strategies, optimization algorithms, and knowledge extraction for enhancing MDO efficiency. It introduces multiple techniques and current research status aimed at improving MDO efficiency, and, combined with artificial intelligence, outlines future directions for MDO development. This paper aims to help MDO researchers clarify their thoughts and provide references for advancing current MDO methods.

Overbreak is an undesirable phenomenon in blasting operations. The causing factors of overbreak can be generally divided as blasting and geological parameters. Due to multiplicity of effective parameters and complexity of interactions among these parameters, empirical methods may not be fully appropriated for blasting pattern design. In this research, artificial neural network (ANN) as a powerful tool for solving such complicated problems is developed to predict overbreak induced by blasting operations in the Gardaneh Rokh tunnel, Iran. To develop an ANN model, an established database comprising of 255 datasets has been utilized. A three-layer ANN was found as an optimum model for prediction of overbreak. The coefficient of determination (R-2) and root mean square error (RMSE) values of the selected model were obtained as 0.921, 0.4820, 0.923 and 0.4277 for training and testing, respectively, which demonstrate a high capability of ANN in predicting overbreak. After selecting the best model, the selected model was used for optimization purpose using artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm as one of the most powerful optimization algorithms. Considering this point that overbreak is one of the main problems in tunneling, reducing its amount causes to have a good tunneling operation. After making several models of optimization and variations in its weights, the optimum amount for the extra drilling was 1.63 m(2), which is 47% lower than the lowest value (3.055 m(2)). It can be concluded that ABC algorithm can be introduced as a new optimizing algorithm to minimize overbreak induced by tunneling.

The analog-integrated circuits industry is exerting increasing pressure to shorten the analog circuit design time. This pressure is put primarily on the analog circuit designers that in turn demand automated circuit design tools evermore vigorously. Such tools already exist in the form of circuit optimization software packages but they all suffer a common ailment - slow convergence. Even taking into account the increasing computational power of modern computers the convergence times of such optimization tools can range from a few days to even weeks. Different authors have tried diverse approaches for speeding up the convergence with varying success. In this paper authors propose a combined optimization algorithm that attempts to improve the speed of convergence by exploiting the positive properties of the underlying optimization methods. The proposed algorithm is tested on a number of test cases and the convergence results are discussed.

In order to improve the working performance of the lower limb rehabilitation robot and the safety of the trained object, the mechanical characteristics of a cable-driven lower limb rehabilitation robot (CDLR) are studied. The dynamic model of the designed CDLR was established. Four kinds of cable tension optimization algorithms were proposed to obtain a good rehabilitation training effect, and the quality of the feasible workspace of the CDLR was analyzed. Finally, a real-time evaluation index of the cable tension optimization algorithms was given to measure the calculation speed of the optimization algorithms. The numerical research results were provided to confirm the characteristics of the four kinds of the optimization algorithms. The research results provide a basis for the follow-up research on the safety and compliance control strategy of the CDLR system.

The precise model for Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs) is vital for simulation, control, and performance analysis of PEMFCs. It is crucial to accurately estimate the model parameters. Over the past decade, the extraction of unknown parameters of PEMFCs model is formulated as optimization problem and several metaheuristic techniques have emerged to solve this problem. Despite the development of these techniques to tackle the problem, the slow convergence rate and susceptibility to being trapped in local minima are regarded as weaknesses of these methods. Additionally, because the PEMFC model is a nonlinear and complex model, not all optimization algorithms are suitable for solving it. This article introduces a novel approach that utilizes the Autonomous Groups Particle Swarm optimization (AGPSO) algorithm for extracting precise values for uncertain parameters inherent in PEMFC model of 250Wstack and BCS-500W stack utilized significantly in the literature. The optimization problem's fitness function is formulated as the total squared errors (TSEs) between the voltage datasets measured and estimated. Three different versions of AGPSO algorithm are presented. Statistical analysis is performed on these three versions to assess their robustness, and the most robust version is identified. Furthermore, the performance of the most robust version is extensively tested and analyzed through a complete comparison with recent optimization algorithms findings from the updated state-of-the-art literature such as BO, QOBO, TGA, HHO and ASO. Further, a statistical analysis was carried out that ensured the reliability and robustness of the introduced AGPSO. The results highlight the efficacy and feasibility of AGPSO-based approach across all compared algorithms, demonstrating an enhancement in the accuracy of the PEMFC model. A twophase sensitivity analysis, conducted through Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS), was employed to assess how variations in optimized parameters af

Several real-world optimization problems are dynamic and involve a number of objectives. Different researches using evolutionary algorithms focus on these characteristics, but few works investigate problems that are both dynamic and many-objective. Although widely investigated in formulations with multiple objectives, the evolutionary approaches are still challenged by the dynamic multiobjective optimization problems defining a relevant research topic. Some models have been proposed specifically to attack them as the well-known DNSGA-II and MS-MOEA algorithms, which have been extensively investigated on formulations with two or three objectives. Recently, the D-MEANDS algorithm was proposed for dynamic many-objective problems (DMaOPs). In a previous work, D-MEANDS was confronted to DNSGA-II and MS-MOEA solving dynamic many-objective scenarios of the knapsack problem: up to six objectives with five changes or four objectives with ten changes. In this work, we evaluate the behavior of such algorithms in instances up to eight objectives and twenty environmental changes. These enabled us to better understand D-MEANDS weak points which led us to the proposition of D-MEANDSMD. The proposal offers a better balance between memory and diversity. We also included a more recent MOEA in this comparison: the DDIS-MOEA/D-DE. From the results obtained using 27 instances of the dynamic multi- objective knapsack problem, D-MEANDS-MD showed promise for solving discrete DMaOPs compared with the others.

One of the most complex physiological systems whose modeling is still an open study is the respiratory control system where different models have been proposed based on the criterion of minimizing the work of breathing (WOB). The aim of this study is twofold: to compare two known models of the respiratory control system which set the breathing pattern based on quantifying the respiratory work;and to assess the influence of using direct-search or evolutionary optimization algorithms on adjustment of model parameters. This study was carried out using experimental data from a group of healthy volunteers under CO2 incremental inhalation, which were used to adjust the model parameters and to evaluate how much the equations of WOB follow a real breathing pattern. This breathing pattern was characterized by the following variables: tidal volume, inspiratory and expiratory time duration and total minute ventilation. Different optimization algorithms were considered to determine the most appropriate model from physiological viewpoint. algorithms were used for a double optimization: firstly, to minimize the WOB and secondly to adjust model parameters. The performance of optimization algorithms was also evaluated in terms of convergence rate, solution accuracy and precision. Results showed strong differences in the performance of optimization algorithms according to constraints and topological features of the function to be optimized. In breathing pattern optimization, the sequential quadratic programming technique (SQP) showed the best performance and convergence speed when respiratory work was low. In addition, SQP allowed to implement multiple non-linear constraints through mathematical expressions in the easiest way. Regarding parameter adjustment of the model to experimental data, the evolutionary strategy with covariance matrix and adaptation (CMA-ES) provided the best quality solutions with fast convergence and the best accuracy and precision in both models.

With the development of digital devices, the recording process has become increasingly easier to conduct. However, the portability of the recording devices has also made recording difficult to monitor. If private conversations are illegally recorded, it will cause serious secret-leakage events. Therefore, it is imperative to prevent unauthorized recordings. Recent works have demonstrated that the nonlinearity effect of microphones can be leveraged to interfere with microphone recording using ultrasounds. However, an ultrasonic array has a limited jamming area. The design of an anti-recording system composed of multiple ultrasonic arrays remains to be addressed. In this paper, a jamming system, JamSys, is presented to prevent eavesdropping in a given region. We propose a new scheme composed of the angle coverage model and the modified harmony search algorithm (MHSA) to optimize the deployment of ultrasonic arrays, which achieves the maximum jamming area with the given number of arrays. In the simulation and experiments, three different optimization algorithms, the MHSA, the genetic algorithm (GA), and the regular coverage algorithm (RCA) are compared. The MHSA is demonstrated to provide the best results.
