Solving Systems of Nonlinear Equations by Harmony Search

چکیده
In this paper, we aim to analyze the performance of some variants of the harmony search (HS) metaheuristic when solving systems of nonlinear equations through the global optimization of an appropriate merit function. The HS metaheuristic draws its inspiration from an artistic process, the improvisation process of musicians seeking a wonderful harmony. A new differential best HS algorithm, based on an improvisation operator that mimics the best harmony and uses a differential variation, is proposed. Computational experiments involving a well-known set of small-dimensional problems are presented.

متن کاملIntelligent Tuned Harmony Search for Solving Economic Dispatch Problem with Valve-point Effects and Prohibited Operating Zones
Economic dispatch with valve point effect and Prohibited Operating Zones (POZs) is a non-convex and discontinuous optimization problem. Harmony Search (HS) is one of the recently presented meta-heuristic algorithms for solving optimization problems, which has different variants. The performances of these variants are severely affected by selection of different parameters of the algorithm. Intel...
متن کاملIIR System Identification Using Improved Harmony Search Algorithm with Chaos
Due to the fact that the error surface of adaptive infinite impulse response (IIR) systems is generally nonlinear and multimodal, the conventional derivative based techniques fail when used in adaptive identification of such systems. In this case, global optimization techniques are required in order to avoid the local minima. Harmony search (HS), a musical inspired metaheuristic, is a recently ...
متن کاملOn Efficiency of Non-Monotone Adaptive Trust Region and Scaled Trust Region Methods in Solving Nonlinear Systems of Equations
In this paper we run two important methods for solving some well-known problems and make a comparison on their performance and efficiency in solving nonlinear systems of equations. One of these methods is a non-monotone adaptive trust region strategy and another one is a scaled trust region approach. Each of methods showed fast convergence in special problems and slow convergence in other o...
متن کاملNew Formulation and Solution in PCB Assembly Systems with Parallel Batch processors
This paper considers the scheduling problem of parallel batch processing machines with non-identical job size and processing time. In this paper, a new mathematical model with ready time and batch size constraints is presented to formulate the problem mathematically, in which simultaneous reduction of the makespan and earliness-tardiness is the objective function. In recent years, the nature-in...
