Ant Evolutionary Algorithms for Molecular Conformation Problems

نویسنده

  • C. Markides
چکیده

Ant based optimisation methods were invented by Marco Dorigo and so far have been used almost entirely for order-based problems (finding routes in communication nets or manufacturing scheduling task orderings), the basic ant methods are not apparently suitable for searching in Real-valued spaces or in combinatorial but non-ordered spaces. The aim is to look into various ways of extending the ant-colony algorithms to investigate their use in Real-valued spaces such as molecular conformation problems.

New Ant Colony Algorithm Method based on Mutation for FPGA Placement Problem

Many real world problems can be modelled as an optimization problem. Evolutionary algorithms are used to solve these problems. Ant colony algorithm is a class of evolutionary algorithms that have been inspired of some specific ants looking for food in the nature. These ants leave trail pheromone on the ground to mark good ways that can be followed by other members of the group. Ant colony optim...

Gradient-based Ant Colony Optimization for Continuous Spaces

A novel version of Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithms for solving continuous space problems is presented in this paper. The basic structure and concepts of the originally reported ACO are preserved and adaptation of the algorithm to the case of continuous space is implemented within the general framework. The stigmergic communication is simulated through considering certain direction vect...

Adaptive Rule-Base Influence Function Mechanism for Cultural Algorithm

This study proposes a modified version of cultural algorithms (CAs) which benefits from rule-based system for influence function. This rule-based system selects and applies the suitable knowledge source according to the distribution of the solutions. This is important to use appropriate influence function to apply to a specific individual, regarding to its role in the search process. This rule ...

PERFORMANCE OF DIFFERENT ANT-BASED ALGORITHMS FOR OPTIMIZATION OF MIXED VARIABLE DOMAIN IN CIVIL ENGINEERING DESIGNS

Ant colony optimization algorithms (ACOs) have been basically introduced to discrete variable problems and applied to different research domains in several engineering fields. Meanwhile, abundant studies have been already involved to adapt different ant models to continuous search spaces. Assessments indicate competitive performance of ACOs on discrete or continuous domains. Therefore, as poten...
