Power Electronics DC-DC converter plays an important role in different applications, for example, electric vehicles, wind generation and PV systems. This paper addresses the design of DC-DC X-converter with optimal LQR controller combined with integral gain action. Therefore, the proposed controlling scheme for DC-DC converter is very important to make the system stable under different conditions. In order to achieve high performance for DC-DC converter system, the current controller was made first as an inner loop and then an output voltage controller was designed as an outer loop. The behavior of an LQR controller design with integral action is characterized by two parameters: state and control weighting matrices. The problem of finding the semi-optimum weighting matrices has been formulated as an optimization problem. Standard Shuffled Frog-Leaping (SSFL) optimization algorithm is introduced to optimize the selection of the controller s weighting matrices. Furthermore, an Enhanced SFL Optimization Algorithm (ESFLA) is proposed to improve the stability performance of the considered system. The performances of both SSFLA and ESFLA are evaluated in terms of speed of convergence to the global optimum and algorithm accuracy, based on a set of ten benchmark test functions. The simulation results demonstrate that the DC-DC X-converter based on LQR with integral gain timed by ESFLA outperforms other designs incorporating SSFLA in terms of control effort, stability performance as well as transient response specifications.

We introduce a simple evolution scheme for multiobjective optimization problems, called the Pareto Archived Evolution Strategy (PAES). We argue that PAES may represent the simplest possible nontrivial algorithm capable of generating diverse solutions in the Pareto optimal set. The algorithm, in its simplest form, is a (1 + 1) evolution strategy employing local search but using a reference archive of previously found solutions in order to identify the approximate dominance ranking of the current and candidate solution vectors. (1 + 1)-PAES is intended to be a baseline approach against which more involved methods may be compared. It may also serve well in some real-world applications when local search seems superior to or competitive with population-based methods. We introduce (1 + lambda) and (mu + lambda) variants of PAES as extensions to the basic algorithm. Six variants of PAES are compared to variants of the Niched Pareto Genetic Algorithm and the Nondominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm over a diverse suite of six test functions. Results are analyzed and presented using techniques that reduce the attainment surfaces generated from several optimization runs into a set of univariate distributions. This allows standard statistical analysis to be carried out for comparative purposes. Our results provide strong evidence that PAES performs consistently well on a range of multiobjective optimization tasks.

In this paper, we provide a systematic comparison of various evolutionary approaches to multiobjective optimization using six carefully chosen test functions. Each test function involves a particular feature that is known to cause difficulty in the evolutionary optimization process, mainly in converging to the Pareto-optimal front (e. g., multimodality and deception). By investigating these different problem features separately, it is possible to predict the kind of problems to which a certain technique is or is not well suited. However, in contrast to what was suspected beforehand, the experimental results indicate a hierarchy of the algorithms under consideration. Furthermore, the emerging effects are evidence that the suggested test functions provide sufficient complexity to compare multiobjective optimizers. Finally, elitism is shown to be an important factor for improving evolutionary multiobjective search.

It is shown that the property of being bounded below (having closed range) of weighted composition operators on Hardy and Bergman spaces can be tested by their action on a set of simple test functions, including reproducing kernels. The methods used in the analysis are based on the theory of reverse Carleson embeddings.

In this study, a modification of the classical Secant method for solving nonlinear, univariate and unconstrained optimization problems based on the development of the cubic approximation is presented. The iteration formula including an approximation of the third derivative of f(x) by using the Taylor series expansion is derived. The performance of the new method is analyzed in terms of the number of iterations in comparison with the Secant methods using six test functions. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

We introduce the Weak-form Estimation of Nonlinear Dynamics (WENDy) method for estimating model parameters for non-linear systems of ODEs. Without relying on any numerical differential equation solvers, WENDy computes accurate estimates and is robust to large (biologically relevant) levels of measurement noise. For low dimensional systems with modest amounts of data, WENDy is competitive with conventional forward solver-based nonlinear least squares methods in terms of speed and accuracy. For both higher dimensional systems and stiff systems, WENDy is typically both faster (often by orders of magnitude) and more accurate than forward solver-based approaches. The core mathematical idea involves an efficient conversion of the strong form representation of a model to its weak form, and then solving a regression problem to perform parameter inference. The core statistical idea rests on the Errors-In-Variables framework, which necessitates the use of the iteratively reweighted least squares algorithm. Further improvements are obtained by using orthonormal test functions, created from a set of C-infinity bump functions of varying support *** demonstrate the high robustness and computational efficiency by applying WENDy to estimate parameters in some common models from population biology, neuroscience, and biochemistry, including logistic growth, Lotka-Volterra, FitzHugh-Nagumo, Hindmarsh-Rose, and a Protein Transduction Benchmark model. Software and code for reproducing the examples is available at https://***/MathBioCU/WENDy.

A novel nature-inspired metaheuristic optimization algorithm, called the quantum firefly algorithm, is proposed in this paper. The algorithm imitates (a) the social behaviour of fireflies mating in nature, (b) laws of quantum physics, and (c) laws of natural evolution. The algorithm combines the powers of two well-known algorithms: the firefly algorithm and the quantum genetic algorithm. The proposed quantum firefly algorithm's performance is tested on 15 mathematical test functions and one structural design problem. The obtained results show that the quantum firefly algorithm is very competitive compared to the firefly algorithm and the quantum genetic algorithm.

Evolutionary computation techniques have received a great deal of attention regarding their potential as optimization techniques for complex numerical functions. However, they have not produced a significant breakthrough in the area of nonlinear programming due to the fact that they have not addressed the issue of constraints in a systematic way. Only recently have several methods been proposed for handling nonlinear constraints by evolutionary algorithms for numerical optimization problems;however, these methods have several drawbacks, and the experimental results on many test cases have been disappointing. In this paper we (1) discuss difficulties connected with solving the general nonlinear programming problem;(2) survey several approaches that have emerged in the evolutionary computation community;and (3) provide a set of 11 interesting test cases that may serve as a handy reference for future methods.
