A Discrete Hybrid Teaching-Learning-Based Optimization algorithm for optimization of space trusses
In this study, to enhance the optimization process, especially in the structural engineering field two well-known algorithms are merged together in order to achieve an improved hybrid algorithm. These two algorithms are Teaching-Learning Based Optimization (TLBO) and Harmony Search (HS) which have been used by most researchers in varied fields of science. The hybridized algorithm is called A Di...
متن کاملA Discrete Parameter Stochastic Approximation Algorithm for Simulation Optimization
We develop in this paper a two-timescale simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation algorithm for simulation based parameter optimization over discrete sets. This algorithm is applicable in cases where the cost to be optimized is in itself the longrun average of certain cost functions whose noisy estimates are obtained via simulation. We present the convergence analysis of our algorithm...
متن کاملOptimization of a SPECT system for imaging of 90Y in liver using Monte Carlo method
Introduction: Acquiring a high quality image has assigned an important concern for obtaining accurate diagnosis in nuclear medicine. Detector and collimator are critical component of Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) imaging system for giving accurate information from exact pattern of radionuclide distribution in the target organ. The images are strongly affect...
متن کاملConstrained Discrete Optimization via Dual Space Search
This paper proposes a novel algorithm for solving NP-hard constrained discrete minimization problems whose unconstrained versions are solvable in polynomial time such as constrained submodular function minimization. Applications of our algorithm include constrained MAP inference in Markov Random Fields, and energy minimization in various computer vision problems. Our algorithm assumes the exist...
متن کاملOptimization technique for a Prompt Gamma-ray SPECT collimator system.
Because background radiation in an irradiation room creates a problem with the PG-SPECT (Prompt Gamma-ray Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography) system, which evaluates the absorbed dose for the Boron Neutron Capture Therapy treatment, optimization of a collimator system was performed while taking the shielding of background gamma-rays into consideration. Assuming that a parallel-beam coll...
