This paper introduces a novel population-based bio-inspired meta-heuristic optimization algorithm, called Blood Coagulation Algorithm (BCA). BCA derives inspiration from the process of blood coagulation in human body. The underlying concepts and ideas behind proposed algorithm are cooperative behavior thrombocytes their intelligent strategy clot formation. These behaviors modeled utilized to un...

The present work is concerned with the development of a new algorithm for determination of the equilibrium composition of gaseous detonations. The elements balance equations, and the second law of thermodynamics (i.e., the minimization of the Gibbs free energy of products), are used to determine the equilibrium composition of the detonation products. To minimize the Gibbs free energy with tradi...

this paper presents a biogeography-based optimization (bbo) algorithm to solve the economic loaddispatch (eld) problem with generator constraints in thermal plants. the applied method can solvethe eld problem with constraints like transmission losses, ramp rate limits, and prohibited operatingzones. biogeography is the science of the geographical distribution of biological species. the modelsof...
