Many practical engineering applications can be formulated as a global optimization problem, in which objective function has many local minima, and derivatives of the objective function are unavailable. Differential Evolution (DE) is a floating-point encoding evolutionary algorithm for global optimization over continuous spaces (Storn & Price, 1997) (Liu & Lampinen, 2005) (Price, Storn & Lampine...

The aim of t h s work was to publish a catalog of all the 1 5 0 0 crags and climbable rocks in France. The main source is an important TEX file describing all these places, including for each one: a serial number, a quotation of its importance, its usual name and some information about its location. This master file is scanned by a Fortran programme which computes the coordmates of the respecti...
