Particle algorithms for optimization on binary spaces
We discuss a unified approach to stochastic optimization of pseudo-Boolean objective functions based on particle methods, including the cross-entropy method and simulated annealing as special cases.

Dynamic programming approach to structural optimization problem – numerical algorithm [PDF]
In this paper a new shape optimization algorithm is presented. As a model application we consider state problems related to fluid mechanics, namely the Navier-Stokes equations for viscous incompressible fluids.

Optimal error estimate for a system of several quasi variational inequalities
This paper presents and examines a finite element approximation for a system of multiple quasi-variational inequalities. We analyze these inequalities, including terms for sources and obstacles that depend on the solution itself.

Hierarchy Strengthened Grey Wolf Optimizer for Numerical Optimization and Feature Selection
Grey wolf optimizer (GWO) is an efficient swarm intelligence algorithm for kinds of optimization problems. However, GWO tends to be trapped in local optimum when solving large-scale problems.

ABSTRACT Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in early childhood. Its clinical behavior is highly variable, ranging from spontaneous regression to fatal outcome despite intensive treatment. The International Society of Pediatric Oncology Europe Neuroblastoma Group (SIOPEN) Radiology and Nuclear Medicine Specialty Committees ...

Three-Dimensional Microwave Imaging: Fast and Accurate Computations with Block Resolution Algorithms
This paper considers the microwave imaging reconstruction problem, based on additive penalization and gradient-based optimization. Each evaluation of the cost function and of its gradient requires the resolution of as many high-dimensional linear systems

An α-Model Parametrization Algorithm for Optimization with Differential-Algebraic Equations
An optimization task with nonlinear differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) was approached. In special cases in heat and mass transfer engineering, a classical direct shooting approach cannot provide a solution of the DAE system, even in a relatively ...

ABSTRACT Introduction Adolescent siblings of children with cancer are at elevated risk for psychosocial problems. Unfortunately, various barriers such as limited family time and resources, conflicting schedules, and psychosocial staffing constraints at cancer centers hinder sibling access to support.
