Exploiting Local Optimality in Metaheuristic Search

, 2020
A variety of strategies have been proposed for overcoming local optimality in metaheuristic search. This paper examines characteristics of moves that can be exploited to make good decisions about steps that lead away from a local optimum and then lead toward a new local optimum.

Reconfigurable Magnetic Soft Microrobot for Acoustically Triggered Targeted Bacterial Sterilization

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Reconfigurable magnetic soft microrobots integrate in situ‐grown piezoelectric zinc oxide nanorods that produce reactive oxygen species upon acoustic excitation. Combining magnetically guided transport with thermally induced planar reconfiguration, the microrobots achieve targeted delivery and enhanced bacterial sterilization through efficient on ...

Complete local search with memory [PDF]

Neighborhood search heuristics like local search and its variants are some of the most popular approaches to solve discrete optimization problems of moderate to large size. Apart from tabu search, most of these heuristics are memoryless. In this paper we

ATTRIBUTE SELECTION MODEL FOR OPTIMAL LOCAL SEARCH AND GLOBAL SEARCH

Jurnal Teknologi, 2016
Attribute selection also known as feature selection is an essential process in data sets that comprise numerous numbers of input attributes. However, finding the optimal combination of algorithms for producing a good set of attributes has remained a challenging task.

A local search-based bi-objective optimization considering distance constraints

Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2014
Conflicting interrelationships among objective functions are often encountered in real-world engineering design problems. If such exist in a multiobjective optimization problem, no unique solution can simultaneously minimize all of the objective ...

High‐Yield Synthesis of Fe‐NC Electrocatalysts Using Mg2+ Templating and Schiff‐Base Porous Organic Polymers

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Fe─NC porous oxygen reduction electrocatalysts are prepared employing a 2,4,6‐Triaminopyrimidine‐based porous organic polymer, a Mg2+ Lewis acid, and a low‐temperature cation exchange protocol. Using the polymer precursor achieves high pyrolysis yields and results in atomically dispersed FeNx sites. The resulting catalysts feature hierarchical porosity

Single Solid‐State Ion Channels as Potentiometric Nanosensors

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Single gold nanopores functionalized with mixed self‐assembled monolayers act as solid‐state ion channels for direct, selective potentiometric sensing of inorganic ions (Ag⁺). The design overcomes key miniaturization barriers of conventional ion‐selective electrodes by combining low resistivity with suppressed loss of active components, enabling robust
