Nowadays, firms apply the merger and acquisition strategy for gaining synergy, increasing the wealth of stockholders, economics of scales, enhancing efficiency, increasing the ability to research and develop, developing the firm and decreasing the risk. Developing an optimized model with the ability to identify the effective variables on the merger and acquisition process has a significant ...

Introduction: C. elegans neural network is a good sample for neural networks studies, because its structural details are completely determined. In this study, the virtual neural network of this worm that was proposed by Suzuki et al. for control of movement was reconstructed by adding newly discovered synapses for each of these network neurons. These synapses are newly discovered in the actu...

in this paper we propose a method for solving some well-known classes of lane-emden type equations which are nonlinear ordinary differential equations on the semi-innite domain. the proposed approach is based on an unsupervised combined articial neural networks (ucann) method. firstly, the trial solutions of the differential equations are written in the form of feed-forward neural networks co...

Based on the electromagnetism-like algorithm (EM), we propose a novel hybrid learning algorithms which is the improved EM algorithm with genetic algorithm technique (IEMGA) for recurrent fuzzy neural system design. IEMGA are composed of initialization, local search, total force calculation, movement, and evaluation. They are hybridization of EM and GA. EM algorithm is a population-based meta-he...

In this paper we present an improved neural network to solve strictly convex quadratic programming(QP) problem. The proposed model is derived based on a piecewise equation correspond to optimality condition of convex (QP) problem and has a lower structure complexity respect to the other existing neural network model for solving such problems. In theoretical aspect, stability and global converge...

Abstract: In this research, at first, the natural frequencies of a cracked beam are obtained analytically, then, location and depth of a crack in beam is identified by neural network method. The research is applied on a beam with an open crack for three different boundary conditions.

‎By p-power (or partial p-power) transformation‎, ‎the Lagrangian function in nonconvex optimization problem becomes locally convex‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎we present a neural network based on an NCP function for solving the nonconvex optimization problem‎. An important feature of this neural network is the one-to-one correspondence between its equilibria and KKT points of the nonconvex optimizatio...
