a method based on electrical capacitance tomography (ect) and an improved least squares support vector machine (ls-svm) is proposed for void fraction measurement of oil-gas two-phase flow. in the modeling stage, to solve the two problems in ls-svm, pruning skills are employed to make ls-svm sparse and robust; then the real-coded genetic algorithm is introduced to solve the difficult problem of ...

real coded genetic algorithm, rcga, is the type of ga which operates on chromosomes with real valued parameters. different mutation and crossover operations are defined for rcga. one usable crossover for this kind of ga is to consider its chromosomes simply as bit strings and utilize the same operations as binary coded ga. in this paper, we attempt to show that this kind of crossover can not ha...

This paper presents an efficient generation alternation model for real-coded genetic algorithm called rc-CGA. The most important characteristic of the proposed rcCGA model is the implicit self-adaptive feature in its crossover and mutation mechanism. By applying two crossover operators (BLX-α and UNDX crossover) in conjunction with Non-Uniform mutation to rc-CGA, respectively, we define two new...

in this paper, we present an application of evolved neural networks using a real coded genetic algorithm for simulations of monthly groundwater levels in a coastal aquifer located in the shabestar plain, iran. after initializing the model with groundwater elevations observed at a given time, the developed hybrid genetic algorithm-back propagation (ga-bp) should be able to reproduce groundwater ...

Multilayer perceptrons (MLPs) are widely used for pattern classification and regression problems. Backpropagation (BP) algorithm is known technique in the training of multilayer perceptrons. However for its optimum training convergence, the learning and momentum parameters need to be tuned on trial and error method. Further, sometimes the backpropagation algorithm fails to achieve global conver...
