This paper describes a new method of evolution that is named Transplant Evolution (TE). None of the individuals of the transplant evolution contains genotype as in Grammatical Evolution (GE). Each individual of the transplant evolution contains the phenotype in the tree structure. Reproduction methods as crossover and mutation work with parts of phenotypes (sub-trees). The hierarchical structur...

This article presents the results on existence, uniqueness and stability of mild solutions to neutral stochastic functional evolution integro-differential equations with non-Lipschitz condition and Lipschitz condition. The existence of mild solutions for the equations are discussed by means of semigroup theory and theory of resolvent operator. Under some sufficient conditions, the results are o...

In this paper we show that the technique of handling boundary constraints has a significant influence on the efficiency of the Differential Evolution method. We study the effects of applying several such techniques taken from the literature. The comparison is based on experiments performed for a standard DE/rand/1/bin strategy using the CEC2005 benchmark. The paper reports the results of experi...

Accuracy alone is insufficient to evaluate the performance of a classifier especially when the number of classes increases. This paper proposes an approach to deal with multi-class problems based on Accuracy (C) and Sensitivity (S). We use the differential evolution algorithm and the ELM-algorithm (Extreme Learning Machine) to obtain multi-classifiers with a high classification rate level in th...

We study an important yet under-addressed problem of quickly and safely improving policies in online reinforcement learning domains. As its solution, we propose a novel exploration strategy diverse exploration (DE), which learns and deploys a diverse set of safe policies to explore the environment. We provide DE theory explaining why diversity in behavior policies enables effective exploration ...

We describe our development and use of DescriptiveEnvironment (DE). This is a program to aid researchers in Finite Model Theory and students of logic to automatically generate examples, counterexamples of conjectures, reductions between problems, and visualizations of structures and queries. DescriptiveEnvironment is available for free use under an ISC license at http://www.cs.umass.edu/∼immerm...

Distribution system plays an important role in supplying the electricity from generation to the consumers via transmission system. The power system is one of the most complex systems in the world. Because of the high R/X value the losses in the distribution system is more. The one of the roles of capacitor is reducing the losses in the distribution system. This paper presents an improved method...

We have compared the Y chromosomal lineage dating between sequence data and commonly used Y-SNP plus Y-STR data. The coalescent times estimated using evolutionary Y-STR mutation rates correspond best with sequence-based dating when the lineages include the most ancient haplogroup A individuals. However, the times using slow mutated STR markers with genealogical rates fit well with sequence-base...
