Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleAn Improved Clustering Based Genetic Algorithm for Solving Complex NP ProblemsR. Sivaraj, T. RavichandranProblem statement: The selection process is a major factor in genetic algorithm which determines the optimality of solution for a complex problem. The selection pressure is the critical step which finds out the best individuals in the entire population for further genetic operators. The proposed algorithm tries to find out the best individuals with reduced selection pressure than standard genetic … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 28 Jun 2011 · 6,928 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSlime Mould Reproduction: A New Optimization Algorithm for Constrained Engineering ProblemsRajalakshmi Sakthivel, Kanmani SelvaduraiIn recent explorations of biologically inspired optimization strategies, the Slime Mould Reproduction (SMR) algorithm emerges as an innovative meta-heuristic optimization technique. This algorithm is deeply rooted in the reproductive dynamics observed in slime molds, particularly the intricate balance these organisms strike between local and global spore dispersal. By replicating this balance, the SMR algorithm deftly navigates between exploration and exploitation … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 21 Dec 2023 · 5,943 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleTwo-Stage Estimation in Inverse Problems using Combined Wavelet Thresholding and Penalized Maximum LikelihoodRobert G Aykroyd, Hassan AljohaniInverse problems occur in a wide range of practical scientific investigations where the variables of interest are only observed indirectly, such as magnetic and seismic imaging in geophysics, electrical tomography in industrial process monitoring, or PET scanning in medicine. Linear inverse problems can be thought of as highly multivariate regression problems with strong multicollinearity where the aim is to interpret … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 29 Sep 2017 · 7,925 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHybrid Block Method for Direct Numerical Approximation of Second Order Initial Value Problems Using Taylor Series ExpansionsOluwaseun Adeyeye, Zurni OmarIn this article, a hybrid block method is utilized for the numerical approximation of second order Initial Value Problems (IVPs). The rigor of reduction to a system of first order initial value problems is bypassed as the hybrid block method directly solves the second order IVPs. Likewise, the methodology utilized also avoids the cumbersome steps involved in the widely adopted … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 17 Feb 2017 · 7,953 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMental Health Problems and Coping among Flood Victims in Ghana: A Comparative Study of Victims and Non-VictimsEmmanuel Dziwornu, Nuworza KugbeyThe occurrence of natural disasters results in loss of lives and properties. However, the short and long term focus of assistance is usually on the physical wellbeing of the victims with no attention to their accompanying mental health issues. This study examined the mental health problems and coping strategies among flood victims and non-victims in the Eastern Region of Ghana. … …Current Research in Psychology, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 28 Aug 2015 · 9,843 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAdaptive Acceptance Criterion (AAC) Algorithm for Optimization ProblemsAnmar AbuhamdahOptimization methods commonly are designed for solving the optimization problems. Local search algorithms are optimization method, which are good candidate in exploiting the search space. However, most of them need parameter tuning and incapable of escaping from local optima. This work proposes non-parametric Acceptance Criterion (AC) that not relies on user-defined, which motivate to propose an Adaptive Acceptance Criterion (AAC). … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 23 Jul 2015 · 6,969 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Non-Linear Absolutely-Stable Explicit Numerical Integration Algorithm for Stiff Initial-Value ProblemsEssam R. El-ZaharThe time-step in integration process has two restrictions. The first one is the time step restriction due to accuracy requirement τac and the second one is the time-step restriction due to stability requirement τst. The most of explicit methods have small stability regions and consequently small τst. It obliges us to solve stiff problems with small step size τst << … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 11 · 11 Sep 2013 · 7,559 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDynamic Propagation Problems of Mode III Semi-Infinite CrackLu Nian-Chun, Li Xin-Gang, Cheng Yun-Hong, Cheng JinBy means of the theory of complex functions, dynamic propagation problems of mode III semi- infinite crack were researched. The problems studied can be facilely transformed into riemann-hilbert problems and the universal expression of analytical solutions of stress, displacement and dynamic stress intensity factor under the conditions of moving increasing loads Px/t and Pt2/x, respectively, are very facilely obtained using … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 28 Aug 2013 · 7,281 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Best Candidates Method for Solving Optimization ProblemsHlayel Abdallah AhmadProblem statement: This study is about describing solution technique called Best Candidates Method (BCM) for solving optimization problems; the goal is to minimize the computation time to get the optimal solution. In this study I apply the BCM to the linear assignment problems (LAP) that is one of the optimization problems in the Operation Research (OR). Approach: The optimization problem … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 27 Feb 2012 · 8,341 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSolving Directly Two Point Non Linear Boundary Value Problems Using Direct Adams Moulton MethodZanariah Abdul Majid, Phang Pei See, Mohamed SuleimanProblem statement: In this study, a direct method of Adams Moulton type was developed for solving non linear two point Boundary Value Problems (BVPs) directly. Most of the existence researches involving BVPs will reduced the problem to a system of first order Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs). This approach is very well established but it obviously will enlarge the systems of … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 18 May 2011 · 7,882 accessesView PDFCite
