a guided tabu search for profile optimization of finite element models
Authors
abstract
in this paper a guided tabu search (gts) is utilized for optimal nodal ordering of finite element models (fems) leading to small profile for the stiffness matrices of the models. the search strategy is accelerated and a graph-theoretical approach is used as guidance. the method is evaluated by minimization of graph matrices pattern equivalent to stiffness matrices of finite element models. comparison of the results with those of some powerful methods, confirms the robustness of the algorithm.

full textTabu search and finite convergence
We establish finite convergence for some tabu search algorithms based on recency memory or frequency memory, distinguishing between symmetric and asymmetric neighborhood structures. These are the first demonstrations of explicit bounds provided by such forms of memory, and their finiteness suggests an important distinction between these ideas and those underlying certain "probabilistic" procedu...

Using Metaheuristics models and Evolutionary Algorithms for solving portfolio problem has been considered in recent years.In this study, by using particles swarm optimization and tabu search algorithms we optimized two-sided risk measures . A standard exact penalty function transforms the considered portfolio selection problem into an equivalent unconstrained minimization problem. And in final...
full textDevelopment of a Finite Element Methodology for Flexible Track Models in Railway Dynamics Applications
The dynamic analysis of railway vehicles involves the construction of three independent models: the vehicle model; the track model; and the wheel-rail contact model. In this work, a multibody formulation with Cartesian coordinates is used to describe the kinematic structure of the rigid bodies and joints that constitute the vehicle model. A methodology is also proposed in order to create detail...

full textTabu Search for Multiobjective Optimization: MOTS
This paper presents the multiobjective tabu search method, MOTS. Being an adaptation of the well known tabu search, it is used heuristically to generate non-dominated alternatives to multiobjective combinatorial optimization problems. MOTS works with a set of current solutions which, through manipulation of weights, are optimized towards the nondominated frontier while at the same time seek to ...
