This paper presents a simple mathematical analysis of some features of the Harmony Search algorithm (HS). HS is a recently developed derivative-free optimization algorithm, which ...
ct 8 Harmony search (HS) is a new meta-heuristic optimization method imitating the music improvisation process where 9 musicians improvise their instruments' pitches searching...
In this paper, the dynamic multi-swarm particle swarm optimizer (DMS-PSO) and a sub-regional harmony search (SHS) are hybridized to obtain DMS-PSO-SHS. A Modified multi-trajectory ...
Various algorithms have been developed and applied to structural optimization, in which cross-sectional areas of structure members are assumed to be continuous. In most cases of p...
