Abstract:
This thesis introduces and analyses a numerical method for solving time-dependent partial differential equations (PDEs) on surfaces. This method is based on the closest point method, and solves the surface PDE by solving a suitably chosen equation in a band surrounding the surface. As it uses an implicit closest point representation of the surface, the method has the advantages of being simple to implement for very general surfaces, and amenable to discretization with a broad class of numerical schemes. The method proposed in this work introduces a new equation in the embedding space, which sa

Abstract:
Nesting problems have been present for as long as mankind exists. Present days these problems occur in many different industries, e.g. textile, paper, wood, metal and glass industry. These industries produce massive amounts of products to answer the global demand. To minimize the material waste making these products, a good cutting and packing layout is beneficial. The last three decades, researchers have focused on developing methods to solve these problems through computing, instead of solving them manually. Many possible solutions have been found, each method focusing on the specifications

The tools used are evolution settings of multiscale and very weak multiscale convergence, which are extensions of, or closely related to, the classical method of two-scale convergence.

The effectiveness of an optimization algorithm can be reduced to its ability to navigate an objective function’s topology.

Secondly, its performance is significantly influenced by the control parameters, which are problem dependent and which vary in different regions of space

Abstract:
Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) are well-established techniques to approach those problems which for the classical optimization methods are difficult to solve. Tackling problems with mixed-type of variables, many local optima, undifferentiable or non-analytical functions are some examples to highlight the outstanding capabilities of the evolutionary algorithms. Among the various kinds of evolutionary algorithms, differential evolution (DE) is well known for its effectiveness and robustness. Many comparative studies confirm that the DE outperforms many other optimizers. Finding more accurate solu

碩士<br>大同大學<br>資訊工程學系(所)<br>96<br>Data clustering is one of the important issues on the data mining techniques which is the process of considering as the number of cluster and the center of cluster. Most of data clustering algorithms are prior known of the number of cluster but dynamic clustering is able to find the optimal number of cluster and center of cluster dynamically by algorithms. This research is used differential evolution algorithm to perform data clustering which is called as dynamic clustering using differential evolution (DCDE). This algorithm is accessed the number of cluster of

Abstract:
碩士<br>中原大學<br>資訊管理研究所<br>98<br>Differential evolution, termed DE, is a novel and rapidly developed evolution computation in recent year. There are some advantages of DE, including simple structure, easy use and rapid convergence speed. Besides, DE can be also applied on complex optimization problem. However, there are some problems, such as premature convergence and stagnation, remaining in DE algorithm. To overcome those disadvantages, a different method was proposed, named CO-DE, by combining with a simple co-evolutionary model and reset mechanism. Thus, CO-DE can maintain appropriate swarm

Abstract:
博士<br>大同大學<br>機械工程學系(所)<br>98<br>Differential evolution (DE) is a heuristic optimization method used to solve many optimization problems in real-valued search space. It has the advantage of incorporating a relatively simple and efficient form of mutation and crossover. In this study, two modified differential evolution algorithm, adaptive multi-population differential evolution and modified binary differential evolution, have been developed for dealing with different types of optimization problems.

Abstract:
Kinematics based guidance laws like the proportional navigation (PN) and many other linear optimal guidance laws perform well in near-collision course conditions. These have been studied thoroughly in the literature from all aspects, ranging from optimality to capturability, for planar or two dimensional interceptor-target engagements, and to a lesser extent, for three dimensional engagements. But guidance in widely off-collision course conditions like high initial heading errors has been relatively less studied. This is probably due to the inherently high nonlinearity of the problem, which ma

The proposed TMDE is a method of combining the tradition DE with the Taguchi method into mutation, and TCDE is a method of using sliding levels of Taguchi method into crossover. On the other hand, the biggest problem in finding optimal solutions is that we cannot know the range of searching. Hence, in this thesis, we incorpor

When the number of stocks is large, the complexity of the problem becomes high and it consumes much more CPU time to solve it. Recently some researchers have utilized particle swarm optimization (PSO) and differential evolution (DE) to solve the portfolio optimization problem. Unfortunately, their CPU usage becomes high as the sizes of test problems increase. This study tries to overcome this problem. A discrete differe
