How to select the suitable parameters and kernel model is a very important problem for Twin Support Vector Machines (TSVMs). In order to solve this problem, one solving algorithm called Invasive Weed Optimization Algorithm for Optimizating the Parameters of Mixed Kernel Twin Support Vector Machines (IWO-MKTSVMs) is proposed in this paper. Firstly, introducing the mixed kernel, the twin support ...

An improved adaptive beamforming technique of antenna arrays is introduced. The technique is implemented by using a novel Invasive Weed Optimization (IWO) variant called Adaptive Dispersion Invasive Weed Optimization (ADIWO) where the seeds produced by a weed are dispersed in the search space with standard deviation specified by the fitness value of the weed. The adaptive seed dispersion makes ...

In this paper, Invasive Weed Optimization (IWO) algorithm is used to find the optimum solution of Combined Economic Emission Dispatch (CEED) problem. The main objective is to minimize the fuel cost as well as emission level, while satisfying the power demand and associative operational constraints. The bi-objective problem is made to a single objective function using the price penalty factor. S...

Recently, many studies are carried out with inspirations from ecological phenomena for developing optimization techniques. The new algorithm that is motivated by a common phenomenon in agriculture is colonization of invasive weeds. In this paper, a modified invasive weed optimization (IWO) algorithm is presented for optimization of multiobjective flexible job shop scheduling problems (FJSSPs) w...

a new powerful optimization algorithm inspired from colonizing weeds is utilized to solve the well-known quadratic assignment problem (qap) which is of application in a large number of practical areas such as plant layout, machinery layout and so on. a set of reference numerical problems from qaplib is taken in order to evaluate the efficiency of the algorithm compared with the previous ones wh...

Antenna array design is one of the most imperative electromagnetic optimization problem of current interest. In the antenna arrays the side lobe level is main problem which causes waste of energy. In this paper, different evolutionary algorithms are presented for reduction of side lobe level in antenna array. The invasive weed optimization(IWO) algorithm outperform PSO, ACO, and GA based on met...
