Genetic algorithms for reliability-based optimization of water distribution systems [PDF]
A new approach for reliability-based optimization of water distribution networks is presented. The approach links a genetic algorithm ~GA! as the optimization tool with the first-order reliability method ~FORM! for estimating network capacity reliability.

Pseudo derivative evolutionary algorithm and convergence analysis [PDF]
In this paper, a novel evolutionary algorithm (EA), called pseudo-derivative EA (called PDEA), is proposed. The basic idea of PDEA is to use pseudo-derivative, which is obtained based on the information produced during the evolution, and to help search ...
