For any agency dealing with the design of the water distribution network, an economic design will be an objective. In this research, Central Force Optimization (CFO) and Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm were used to optimize Ismail Abad water Distribution network. Optimization of the network has been evaluated by developing an optimization model based on CFO and DE algorithm in MATLAB and ...

This paper describes the use of a modified Differential Evolution strategy that identifies multiple solutions to the numerical optimization of multidimensional objective functions. Traditional approaches to this class of problems, such as Newton’s Method, are restricted for use on continuous, differentiable functions; in addition, the solution identified by these approaches i often dependent up...

In recent years, soft computing methods have generated a large research interest. The synthesis of the fuzzy logic and the evolutionary algorithms is one of these methods. A particular evolutionary algorithm (EA) is differential evolution (DE). As for any EA, DE algorithm also requires parameters tuning to achieve desirable performance. In this paper tuning the perturbation factor vector of DE ...

differential transform method has been applied to solve many functional equations so far. in this article, we have used this method to solve wave-like equations. differential transform method is capable of reducing the size of computational work. exact solutions can also be achieved by the known forms of the series solutions. some examples are prepared to show theefficiency and simplicity of th...

differential evolution Iztok Fister Jr.,∗ Iztok Fister,† and Janez Brest‡ Abstract Differential evolution possesses a multitude of various strategies for generating new trial solutions. Unfortunately, the best strategy is not known in advance. Moreover, this strategy usually depends on the problem to be solved. This paper suggests using various regression methods (like random forest, extremely ...
