Abstract:

In this study, a new approach isintroduced to solve Blasius differential equation using of ImperialistCompetitive Algorithm (ICA). This algorithm is inspired by competitionmechanism among Imperialists and colonies and has demonstrated excellent capabilitiessuch as simplicity, accuracy, faster convergence and better global optimumachievement in contrast to other evolutionary algorithms. The obtained results havebeen compared with the exact solution of Blasius equation and another resultobtained in previous works and showhigher accuracy and less computational requirements. Inaddition, the method presented with details can beeasily extended to solve a wide range of nonlinear problems.

Using Imperialist competitive algorithm optimization in multi-response nonlinear programming

The quality of manufactured products is characterized by many controllable quality factors. These factors should be optimized to reach high quality products. In this paper we try to find the controllable factors levels with minimum deviation from the target and with a least variation. To solve the problem a simple aggregation function is used to aggregate the multiple responses functions then a...

OPTIMIZATION TO IDENTIFY MUSKINGUM MODEL PARAMETERS USING IMPERIALIST COMPETITIVE ALGORITHM

In engineering, flood routing is an important technique necessary for the solution of a floodcontrol problem and for the satisfactory operation of a flood-prediction service. A simple conceptual model like the Muskingum model is very effective for the flood routing process. One challenge in application of the Muskingum model is that its parameters cannot be measured physically. In this article ...

Solving the n-queens problem using a tuned hybrid imperialist competitive algorithm

The n-queens problem is a classical combinatorial optimization problem which has been proved to be NP-hard. The goal is to place n non-attacking queens on an n×n chessboard. In this paper, the Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA), which is a recent evolutionary metaheuristic method, has been applied for solving the n-queens problem. As another variation, the ICA was combined with a local sea...
