The practical application of a multi-objective optimization strategy based on evolutionary algorithms was proposed to optimize the plastics thermoforming process. For that purpose, in this work, differently from other works literature, shaping step considered individually with aim optimizing thickness distribution final part originated sheets characterized by different profiles, such as constan...

calculating total cast of bank resources procurement methods which include current -free loan deposit, saving interest-free loan deposit, regular and net short-term investment deposit, long-term investment deposit and surety bond cash deposit and presenting their optimal integration require precise scientific studies. hence, this study is an attempt to know which methods are the best optimal in...

In recent years, particle swarm optimization (PSO) proposed by Kennedy et al. has been widely used as a general approximate solution method for optimization problems. The authors proposed a revised PSO (rPSO) method incorporating the homomorphous mapping and the multiple stretching technique in order to cope with shortcomings of PSO and showed its efficiency for nonlinear programming problems. ...
