Real-Time Path Planning for Power Tower Inspection Based on Hybrid Algorithm
The sequence of conventional shooting viewpoints for power tower is fixed and the inspection distance of multi-rotor UAV is not optimal. In addition, as the dimension increases, the path planning algorithm cannot meet the requirements of real-time path ...

Odd-flavor Simulations by the Hybrid Monte Carlo [PDF]
The standard hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm is known to simulate even flavors QCD only. Simulations of odd flavors QCD, however, can be also performed in the framework of the hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm where the inverse of the fermion matrix is ...

Hybridization of Evolutionary Algorithms [PDF]
Evolutionary algorithms are good general problem solver but suffer from a lack of domain specific knowledge. However, the problem specific knowledge can be added to evolutionary algorithms by hybridizing. Interestingly, all the elements of the evolutionary algorithms can be hybridized.

Application of a single-objective, hybrid genetic algorithm approach to pharmacokinetic model building. [PDF]
A limitation in traditional stepwise population pharmacokinetic model building is the difficulty in handling interactions between model components. To address this issue, a method was previously introduced which couples NONMEM parameter estimation and ...
