We all have strong intuitions about a connection between Coordination and the notion of "equivalence" (Hebrew: , תוליקש). This is reflected by the fact that researchers often use terms like ‘parallelism’, ‘similarity’, or ‘symmetry’ when providing structural definitions of coordinated constructions (e.g., Azar 1977; Haspelmath, 2007; Van Valin 1990). Certain questions, such as the following, re...

Multi-objective Optimization of a Solar Driven Combined Power and Refrigeration System Using Two Evolutionary Algorithms Based on Exergoeconomic Concept

This paper deals with a multi-objective optimization of a novel micro solar driven combined power and ejector refrigeration system (CPER). The system combines an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) with an ejector refrigeration cycle to generate electricity and cold capacity simultaneously. Major thermodynamic parameters, namely turbine inlet temperature, turbine inlet pressure, turbine back pressure, ...

Bayesian Optimization Algorithms for Multi-objective Optimization

In recent years, several researchers have concentrated on using probabilistic models in evolutionary algorithms. These Estimation Distribution Algorithms (EDA) incorporate methods for automated learning of correlations between variables of the encoded solutions. The process of sampling new individuals from a probabilistic model respects these mutual dependencies such that disruption of importan...
