In DNA computing, the design of coding sequences is an important factor affecting reliability computing. different sequence designs, suitable constraints should be selected and rationalized according to these constraints. this paper, improved particle swarm optimization algorithm based on elastic collision strategy (EC-PSO) used optimize by using adaptation function that satisfies multiple EC-P...

in the field of health losses resulting from failure to establish the facilities in a suitable location and the required number, beyond the cost and quality of service will result in an increase in mortality and the spread of diseases. so the facility location models have special importance in this area. in this paper, a successively inclusive hierarchical model for location of health centers i...

this article presents the application of two algorithms: heuristic big bang-big crunch (hbb-bc) and a heuristic particle swarm ant colony optimization (hpsaco) to discrete optimization of reinforced concrete planar frames subject to combinations of gravity and lateral loads based on aci 318-08 code. the objective function is the total cost of the frame which includes the cost of concrete, formw...

Cuckoo search (CS) is a novel biologically inspired algorithm and has been widely applied to many fields. Although some binary-coded CS variants are developed to solve 0-1 knapsack problems, the search accuracy and the convergence speed are still needed to further improve. According to the analysis of the shortcomings of the standard CS and the advantage of the global harmony search (GHS), a no...
