An Evolutionary Approach Based On Viral Replication For Solving Combinatorial Optimization Problems, Claudia Evangelina Valles Sosa
Open Access Theses & Dissertations
A new multi-objective evolutionary algorithm that mimics the way viruses replicate is presented. The purpose of viral replication is to allow the reproduction and survival of its kind. The algorithm is able to produce a large number of solutions to be evaluated by imitating the way viral replication and the infection process work. The well-known multi-objective redundancy allocation problem is used to show the performance of this new viral-based evolutionary approach. The algorithm considers the maximization of system reliability, the minimization of system cost, and the minimization of system weight to be optimized simultaneously. The solution to the multi-objective optimization …

Open Access Theses & Dissertations
The intention of this research is to develop a new algorithm that it is mainly focus in the principle of echolocation or also called biosonar. This principle is active in many animals such as: birds, shrews, dolphins and bats, these last ones are going to be a fundamental part of our study. These animals use it as radar in order to find food, obstacles or just to locate objects.
These animals use ultrasound beams with a certain degree of angle and multiple receivers; such as the two ears that are located slightly apart, so at the time of the returning …
