— In this paper, a new method is proposed to evaluate the reliability of stochastic mechanical systems. This technique is based on the combination of the probabilistic transforma...
Abstract. Small populations are very desirable for reducing the required computational resources in evolutionary optimization of complex real-world problems. Unfortunately, the sea...
We introduce a new approach to GA (Genetic Algorithms) based problem solving. Earlier GAs did not contain local search (i.e. hill climbing) mechanisms, which led to optimization d...
