Gravitational smoothing as a global optimization strategy
نویسندگان
چکیده
An optimization scheme for atomic cluster structures, based on exaggerating the importance of the gravitational force, is introduced. Results are presented for calculations on Lennard-Jones clusters of 13, 38, and 55 atoms, and the 13-atom Morse cluster.

Solving the minimum sum-of-squares clustering problem by hyperbolic smoothing and partition into boundary and gravitational regions
This article considers the minimum sum-of-squares clustering (MSSC)problem. The mathematical modeling of this problem leads to a min − sum −min formulation which, in addition to its intrinsic bi-level nature, has the significant characteristic of being strongly nondifferentiable. To overcome these difficulties, the proposed resolution method, called Hyperbolic Smoothing, adopts a smoothing stra...
متن کاملSolving the Minimum Sum of L1 Distances Clustering Problem by Hyperbolic Smoothing and Partition into Boundary and Gravitational Regions
This article considers the minimum sum of distances clustering (MSDC) problem, where the distances are measured through the L1 or Manhattan metric. The mathematical modeling of this problem leads to a min−sum− min formulation which, in addition to its intrinsic bi-level nature, has the significant characteristic of being strongly nondifferentiable. To overcome these difficulties, the proposed r...
متن کاملCombined Economic and Emission Dispatch Solution Using Exchange Market Algorithm
This paper proposes the exchange market algorithm (EMA) to solve the combined economic and emission dispatch (CEED) problems in thermal power plants. The EMA is a new, robust and efficient algorithm to exploit the global optimum point in optimization problems. Existence of two seeking operators in EMA provides a high ability in exploiting global optimum point. In order to show the capabilities ...
متن کاملGlobal Optimization via a Modified Potential Smoothing Kernel
A new potential smoothing method, the shifted-tophat (or stophat) is presented. This method uses a tophat function as the smoothing kernel, instead of the gaussian used in conventional methods. Stophat smoothing is applied, as part of the Potential Smoothing and Search (PSS) procedure for global optimization, to several biomolecular problems, including polyalanine helices, united-atom and all-a...
متن کاملParameters Assignment of Electric Train Controller by Using Gravitational Search Optimization Algorithm
The speed profile of the train will be determined according to criteria such as safety, travel convenience, and the type of electric motor used for traction. Due to the passengers and cargo on the train, the electric train load is constantly changing. This will require reassigning the speed controller’s parameters of the electric train. For this purpose, the Gravitational Search optimization Al...
