Levy Flights in Metaheuristics Optimization Algorithms – A Review

open access: yesApplied Artificial Intelligence, 2018
In recent years, Levy flight (LF) is increasingly being employed as search mechanism in metaheuristics optimization algorithms (MOA) to solve complex real world problems.

Probabilistic Multi‐Objective Energy Management System Model for an Energy Hub With PtG Technology for Cost Reduction and System Flexibility Improvement

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Overview of the under‐study hub energy model showing the energy conversion and distribution among integrated sources and loads. ABSTRACT In this paper, a probabilistic bi‐objective energy management system (EMS) model is proposed for an energy hub (EH) equipped with renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic and wind turbine connected to the main ...

A beetle antennae search algorithm based on Lévy flights and adaptive strategy

open access: yesSystems Science & Control Engineering, 2020
The beetle antennae search (BAS) algorithm is a new meta-heuristic algorithm which has been shown to be very useful in many applications. However, the algorithm itself still has some problems, such as low precision and easy to fall into local optimum ...

Characterizing Human Mobility Patterns in a Large Street Network

open access: yes, 2009
Previous studies demonstrated empirically that human mobility exhibits Levy flight behaviour. However, our knowledge of the mechanisms governing this Levy flight behaviour remains limited.

Evidence for encounter-conditional, area-restricted search in a preliminary study of Colombian blowgun hunters.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Active search for prey is energetically costly, so understanding how foragers optimize search has been central to foraging theory. Some theoretical work has suggested that foragers of randomly distributed prey should search using Lévy flights, while work

Indirect Evidence for L\'evy Walks in Squeeze Film Damping

open access: yes, 2010
Molecular flow gas damping of mechanical motion in confined geometries, and its associated noise, is important in a variety of fields, including precision measurement, gravitational wave detection, and MEMS devices.

Noncanonical Nucleotides in the Genome Around the Maternal‐Zygotic Transition

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
In this paper, Kazzazi et al. provide a comprehensive review of the dynamics of nonconventional nucleotides in the genome during early developmental stages, hypothesizing a potential role for these nucleotides in the activation of the zygotic genome. ABSTRACT From the very moment of fertilization and throughout development, the cells of animal embryos ...

Normal and Anomalous Fluctuation Relations for Gaussian Stochastic Dynamics

open access: yes, 2012
We study transient work Fluctuation Relations (FRs) for Gaussian stochastic systems generating anomalous diffusion. For this purpose we use a Langevin approach by employing two different types of additive noise: (i) internal noise where the Fluctuation ...

Generalized Lévy walks and the role of chemokines in migration of effector CD8+ T cells. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Chemokines have a central role in regulating processes essential to the immune function of T cells, such as their migration within lymphoid tissues and targeting of pathogens in sites of inflammation.
