In this paper, a hybrid meta-heuristic algorithm, based on imperialistic competition algorithm (ICA), harmony search (HS), and simulated annealing (SA) is presented. The body of the proposed hybrid algorithm is based on ICA. The proposed hybrid algorithm inherits the advantages of the process of harmony creation in HS algorithm to improve the exploitation phase of the ICA algorithm. In addition...

As we all know, traditional electromagnetism mechanism (EM) algorithm has the disadvantage with low solution precision, lack of mining ability and easily falling into precocity. This paper proposes a new chaos electromagnetism mechanism algorithm combining chaotic mapping with limited storage QuasiNewton Method (EM-CMLSQN). Its main idea is that it adopts limit quasi-Newton operator to replace ...

This paper introduces a modification on the movement force vector of the Birbil and Fang’s electromagnetism-like algorithm [1] for solving global optimization problems with bounded variables. The proposed movement vector combines the total force exerted on each point of the population, at the current iteration, with the rate of change in the force vector of a previous iteration. Several widely ...

in this paper by combining caching and replication techniques proposed a hybrid heuristic method based on the greedy algorithm to use the benefit of each other techniques. the algorithm in each interaction compares all the contents and one that made the best benefit value is selected for replication. the hybrid approach tested in a simulation environment and the results show that hybrid algorit...

Recently, many researchers in the field of automatic content-based image retrieval have devoted a remarkable amount of research looking formethods to retrieve the best relevant images to the query image.This paper presents a novel algorithm for increasing the precision in content-based image retrieval based on electromagnetism optimization technique.The electromagnetism optimization is a nature...

Electromagnetism-like Mechanism (EM) heuristic is a population-based stochastic global optimization method inspired by the attraction-repulsion mechanism of the electromagnetism theory. EM was originally proposed for solving continuous global optimization problems with bound constraints and it has been shown that the algorithm performs quite well compared to some other global optimization metho...

In the Chinese high school physics curriculum, three operational procedures are introduced in electromagnetism, namely right-hand grip rule, left-hand and rule. This often led to confusion for student differentiate these rules, thus focus on surface characteristics of problem or be misled by unrelated details. study adopts conceptual framework representation model understanding, use it guide de...
