Parameter evaluation of a nonlinear Muskingum model using a constrained self-adaptive differential evolution algorithm

parameter estimation of the nonlinear muskingum model using simulated annealing

abstract the muskingum method is frequently used to route floods in hydrology. however, application of the model is still difficult because of the parameter estimation’s. recently, some of heuristic methods have been used in order to estimate the nonlinear muskingum model. this paper presents a efficient heuristic algorithm, simulated annealing, which has been used to estimate the three paramet...

Self-adaptive Differential Evolution Algorithm for Constrained Real-Parameter Optimization [CEC7569]

In this paper, we propose an extension of Self-adaptive Differential Evolution algorithm (SaDE) to solve optimization problems with constraints. In comparison with the original SaDE algorithm, the replacement criterion was modified for handling constraints. The performance of the proposed method is reported on the set of 24 benchmark problems provided by CEC2006 special session on constrained r...

Slope Stability Analysis Using a Self-Adaptive Genetic Algorithm

This paper introduces a methodology for soil slope stability analysis based on optimization, limit equilibrium principles and method of slices. In this study, the slope stability analysis problem is transformed into a constrained nonlinear optimization problem. To solve that, a Self-Adaptive Genetic Algorithm (GA) is utilized. In this study, the slope stability safety factors are the objective ...

Tuning of Extended Kalman Filter using Self-adaptive Differential Evolution Algorithm for Sensorless Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Drive

In this paper, a novel method based on a combination of Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) with Self-adaptive Differential Evolution (SaDE) algorithm to estimate rotor position, speed and machine states for a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) is proposed. In the proposed method, as a first step SaDE algorithm is used to tune the noise covariance matrices of state noise and measurement noise i...
