Numerical optimization using flow equations

Finding Numerical Solutions of Diophantine Equations using Ant Colony Optimization

The paper attempts to find numerical solutions of Diophantine equations, a challenging problem as there are no general methods to find solutions of such equations. It uses the metaphor of foraging habits of real ants. The ant colony optimization based procedure starts with randomly assigned locations to a fixed number of artificial ants. Depending upon the quality of these positions, ants depos...

numerical solution of incompressible boussinesq equations using fourth-order compact scheme: lock exchange flow

in recent years, the number of research works devoted to applying the highly accurate numerical schemes, in particular compact finite difference schemes, to numerical simulation of complex flow fields with multi-scale structures, is increasing. the use of compact finite-difference schemes are the simple and powerful ways to reach the objectives of high accuracy and low computational cost. compa...

Numerical solution of functional integral equations by using B-splines

This paper describes an approximating solution, based on Lagrange interpolation and spline functions, to treat functional integral equations of Fredholm type and Volterra type. This method can be extended to functional differential and integro-differential equations. For showing efficiency of the method we give some numerical examples.

Numerical Optimization Using Computer Experiments

Engineering design optimization often gives rise to problems in which expensive objective functions are minimized by derivative-free methods. We propose a method for solving such problems that synthesizes ideas from the numerical optimization and computer experiment literatures. Our approach relies on kriging known function values to construct a sequence of surrogate models of the objective fun...
