Bio-Inspired Ant Lion Optimizer for a Constrained Petroleum Product Scheduling
IEEE Access, 2022 Real-world optimization problems demand sophisticated algorithms. Over the years bio-inspired approach, a subset of computational intelligence has demonstrated remarkable success in real-world use cases, especially where exact or deterministic algorithms

Evaluation of the Addition of Firth’s Penalty Term to the Bradley-Terry Likelihood [PDF]
, 2016 A major shortcoming of the Bradley-Terry model is that the maximum likelihood estimates are infinite-valued in the presence of separation and may be unreliable when data are nearly separated.

A survey of methods for discrete optimum struct ural design
Computer Assisted Methods in Engineering and Science, 2023 The available methods and solutions of problems in discrete optimum structural design are reviewed. They are classified into the following categories: branch and bound methods, dual approach, enumeration methods, penalty function approach, simulated ...

Convergence study and optimal weight functions of an explicit particle method for the incompressible Navier--Stokes equations [PDF]
, 2019 To increase the reliability of simulations by particle methods for incompressible viscous flow problems, convergence studies and improvements of accuracy are considered for a fully explicit particle method for incompressible Navier--Stokes equations. The

Dynamic flow optimization for a three-loop fluid heat dissipation system in spacecraft
Case Studies in Thermal Engineering, 2022 Dynamic optimization of the fluid loop is critical for the active thermal control system (ATCS) for future spacecraft. In this paper, the dynamic heat transfer model of a three-loop fluid heat dissipation system is constructed by the transient heat ...

Exact augmented Lagrangian functions for nonlinear semidefinite programming
, 2018 In this paper, we study augmented Lagrangian functions for nonlinear semidefinite programming (NSDP) problems with exactness properties. The term exact is used in the sense that the penalty parameter can be taken appropriately, so a single minimization ...

A second derivative SQP method: local convergence [PDF]
, 2008 In [19], we gave global convergence results for a second-derivative SQP method for minimizing the exact ℓ1-merit function for a fixed value of the penalty parameter. To establish this result, we used the properties of the so-called Cauchy step, which was
