Application of Particle Swarm Optimization and Genetic Algorithm Techniques to Solve Bi-level Congestion Pricing Problems
The solutions used to solve bi-level congestion pricing problems are usually based on heuristic network optimization methods which may not be able to find the best solution for these type of problems. The application of meta-heuristic methods can be seen as viable alternative solutions but so far, it has not received enough attention by researchers in this field. Therefore, the objective of thi...
متن کاملA Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm for Mixed-Variable Nonlinear Problems
Many engineering design problems involve a combination of both continuous anddiscrete variables. However, the number of studies scarcely exceeds a few on mixed-variableproblems. In this research Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is employed to solve mixedvariablenonlinear problems. PSO is an efficient method of dealing with nonlinear and non-convexoptimization problems. In this paper,...
متن کاملStackelberg solutions to noncooperative two-level nonlinear programming problems through particle swarm optimization
In this paper, we focus on two-level nonlinear programming problems with no coordination between the decision maker at the upper level ( the leader) and the decision maker at the lower level (the follower), and propose a computational method through particle swarm optimization (PSO) for obtaining Stackelberg solutions to two-level nonlinear programming problems. Furthermore, we carry out numeri...
متن کاملAn approach to Improve Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm Using CUDA
The time consumption in solving computationally heavy problems has always been a concern for computer programmers. Due to simplicity of its implementation, the PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) is a suitable meta-heuristic algorithm for solving computationally heavy problems. However, despite the simplicity, the algorithm is inefficient for solving real computationally heavy problems but the pr...
متن کاملSuppressing Vibration In A Plate Using Particle Swarm Optimization
In this paper a mesh-free model of the functionally graded material (FGM) plate is presented. The piezoelectric material as a sensor and actuator has been distributed on the top and bottom of the plate, respectively. The formulation of the problem is based on the classical laminated plate theory (CLPT) and the principle of virtual displacements. Moreover, the Particle Swarm optimization (PSO) ...
