We present a primal-dual interior-point algorithm with a filter line-search method for nonlinear programming. Local and global convergence properties of this method were analyzed i...
This paper describes a Parallel Space Decomposition (PSD) technique for the Mesh Adaptive Direct Search (MADS) algorithm. MADS extends Generalized Pattern Search for constrained n...
This paper presents a study of parallel genetic algorithms (GAs) with multiple populations (also called demes or islands). The study makes explicit the relation between the probab...
Selection methods in Evolutionary Algorithms, including Genetic Algorithms, Evolution Strategies ES and Evolutionary Programming, EP are compared by observing the rate of converge...
Significant improvement over a patented lens design is achieved using multi-objective evolutionary optimization. A comparison of the results obtained from NSGA2 and ε-MOEA is done...
