Dairy sire mating recommendations to limit extremes and target intermediate optima [PDF]

JDS Communications
Traditional genetic selection using total merit indexes operates under the simple assumption that higher is better. Some traits, however, are subject to preferred upper or lower thresholds and some may have intermediate optima.

A merit function approach for evolution strategies

EURO Journal on Computational Optimization, 2021
In this paper, we extend a class of globally convergent evolution strategies to handle general constrained optimization problems. The proposed framework handles quantifiable relaxable constraints using a merit function approach combined with a specific ...

Aberration compensation in two-dimensional reflective optical systems [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2023
We present a novel approach to minimize aberrations in imaging systems. The energy distributions at the source and target of an optical system play a crucial role in designing freeform surfaces through illumination optics methodologies.

Dynamic Programming Ring for Point Target Detection

Applied Sciences, 2022
To improve the detection efficiency of a long-distance dim point target based on dynamic programming (DP), this paper proposes a multi-frame target detection algorithm based on a merit function filtering DP ring (MFF-DPR).
