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...

rainfall-runoff modeling is most important component in the water resource management of river basins. the successful application of a conceptual rainfall-runoff model depends on how well it is calibrated. the degree of difficulty in solving the global optimization method is generally dependent on the dimensionality of the model and certain of the characteristics of object function. the purpose...

Understanding the search dynamics of multiobjective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) is still an open problem. This paper extends a recent network-based tool, trajectory networks (STNs), to model behavior MOEAs. Our approach uses idea decomposition, where problem transformed into several single-objective problems. We show that STNs can be used and distinguish two popular algorithms, MOEA/D NSGA-...
