Partical Swarm Optimization Applied To The Atomic Cluster Optimization Problem
نویسنده
چکیده
The Particle Swarm Optimization method has proven quite successful in treating a variety of applied problems. Here we further test its capabilities by studying its behavior when applied to a challenging problem, namely the search for energy conformations of atomic clusters. In its simplest form this is known as the Lennard-Jones Problem. Results are compared with those achieved using simple Genetic Algorithms.

متن کاملA NEW MEMETIC SWARM OPTIMIZATION FOR SPECTRAL LAYOUT DESIGN OF BRACED FRAMES
For most practical purposes, true topology optimization of a braced frame should be synchronized with its sizing. An integrated layout optimization is formulated here to simultaneously account for both member sizing and bracings’ topology in such a problem. Code-specific seismic design spectrum is applied to unify the earthquake excitation. The problem is solved for minimal structural weight un...
