The ITTC 1957 model-ship correlation line was used to predict frictional drag and the corrected linearized thin-ship theory was employed to estimate the wave drag The evolution strategy （ES） which is a member of the evolutionary algorithms （EAs） family obtains an optimum hull form by considering some design constraints. Standard Wigley hull is considered as an initial hull in optimization procedures for two test cases and new hull forms were achieved at Froude numbers 0.24, 0.316 and 0.408. In one case the ES technique was ran for the initial hull form, where the main dimensions were fixed and the only variables were the hull offsets. In the other case in addition to hull offsets, the raain dimensions were considered as variables that are optimized simultaneously.

However, a deviation between the PG and dose distributions, as well as the difference between the reconstructed PG and exact values, limit the effectiveness of the approach in accurate range monitoring during clinical applications. The aim of the study was to realize a PG-based dose reconstruction with a Compton camera, thereby further improving the prediction accuracy of in vivo range verification and providing a novel method for beam monitoring during proton therapy. In this paper, we present an approach based on a subset-driven origin ensemble with resolution recovery and a double evolutionary algorithm to reconstruct the dose depth profile(DDP) from the gamma events obtained by a cadmium-zinc-telluride Compton camera with limited position and energy resolution. Simulations of proton pencil beams with clinical particle rate irradiating phantoms made of different materials and the CT-based thoracic phantom were used to evaluate the feasibility of the proposed method. The results show that for the monoenergetic proton pencil beam irradiating homogeneous-material box phantom,the accuracy of the reconstructed DDP was within 0.3 mm for range prediction and within 5.2% for dose prediction. In particular, for 1.6-Gy irradiation in the therapy simulation of thoracic tumors, the range deviation of the reconstructed spreadout Bragg peak was within 0.8 mm, and the relative dose deviation in the peak area was less than 7% compared to the exact values. The results demonstrate the potential and feasibility of the proposed method in future Compton-based accurate dose reconstruction and range verification during proton therapy.展开更多

However, most of existing feature selection methods are serial and inefficient to be applied to massive text data sets. In this case, a feature selection method based on parallel collaborative evolutionary genetic algorithm is presented. The presented method uses genetic algorithm to select feature subsets and takes advantage of parallel collaborative evolution to enhance time efficiency, so it can quickly acquire the feature subsets which are more representative. The experimental results show that, for accuracy ratio and recall ratio, the presented method is better than information gain, x2 statistics, and mutual information methods; the consumed time of the presented method with only one CPU is inferior to that of these three methods, but the presented method is supe rior after using the parallel strategy.展开更多

However, the performance of these algorithms may severely deteriorate when the optimization objectives for an accelerator are equal to or greater than four. Recently, many-objective evolutionary algorithms(MaOEAs)that can solve problems with four or more optimization objectives have received extensive attention. In this study, two diffraction-limited storage ring(DLSR) lattices of the Extremely Brilliant Source(ESRF-EBS) type with different energies were designed and optimized using three MaOEAs and a widely used MOEA. The initial population was found to have a significant impact on the performance of the algorithms and was carefully studied. The performances of the four algorithms were compared, and the results demonstrated that the grid-based evolutionary algorithm(GrEA) had the best performance.Ma OEAs were applied in many-objective optimization of DLSR lattices for the first time, and lattices with natural emittances of 116 and 23 pm·rad were obtained at energies of 2 and 6 GeV, respectively, both with reasonable dynamic aperture and local momentum aperture(LMA). This work provides a valuable reference for future many-objective optimization of DLSRs.展开更多

Network-wide management and optimization problems are typicallyvery complex with a huge solution space, large number of variables, and multiple objectives. Heuristic algorithms can solve theseproblems in an acceptable time but are usually limited to some particular problem circumstances. On the other hand, evolutionaryalgorithms(EAs), which are general stochastic algorithms inspired by the natural biological evolution and/or social behavior of species, can theoretically be used to solve any complex optimization problems including those found in SDNs. This paper reviewsfour types of EAs that are widely applied in current SDNs: Genetic Algorithms(GAs), Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO), Ant Colony Optimization(ACO), and Simulated Annealing(SA) by discussing their techniques, summarizing their representative applications, and highlighting their issues and future works. To the best of our knowledge, our work is the first that compares the tech-niques and categorizes the applications of these four EAs in SDNs.展开更多

Simulations of proton pencil beams with clinical particle rate irradiating phantoms made of different materials and the CT-based thoracic phantom were used to evaluate the feasibility of the proposed method. The results show that for the monoenergetic proton pencil beam irradiating homogeneous-material box phantom,the accuracy of the reconstructed DDP was within 0.3 mm for range prediction and within 5.2% for dose prediction. In particular, for 1.6-Gy irradiation in the therapy simulation of thoracic tumors, the range deviation of the reconstructed spreadout Bragg peak was within 0.8 mm, and the relative dose deviation in the peak area was less than 7% compared to the exact values. The results demonstrate the potential and feasibility of the proposed method in future Compton-based accurate dose reconstruction and range verification during proton therapy.

文摘Feature selection is one of the important topics in text classification. However, most of existing feature selection methods are serial and inefficient to be applied to massive text data sets. In this case, a feature selection method based on parallel collaborative evolutionary genetic algorithm is presented. The presented method uses genetic algorithm to select feature subsets and takes advantage of parallel collaborative evolution to enhance time efficiency, so it can quickly acquire the feature subsets which are more representative. The experimental results show that, for accuracy ratio and recall ratio, the presented method is better than information gain, x2 statistics, and mutual information methods; the consumed time of the presented method with only one CPU is inferior to that of these three methods, but the presented method is supe rior after using the parallel strategy.
文摘Multi-objective evolutionary algorithms(MOEAs) are typically used to optimize two or three objectives in the accelerator field and perform well. However, the performance of these algorithms may severely deteriorate when the optimization objectives for an accelerator are equal to or greater than four. Recently, many-objective evolutionary algorithms(MaOEAs)that can solve problems with four or more optimization objectives have received extensive attention. In this study, two diffraction-limited storage ring(DLSR) lattices of the Extremely Brilliant Source(ESRF-EBS) type with different energies were designed and optimized using three MaOEAs and a widely used MOEA. The initial population was found to have a significant impact on the performance of the algorithms and was carefully studied. The performances of the four algorithms were compared, and the results demonstrated that the grid-based evolutionary algorithm(GrEA) had the best performance.Ma OEAs were applied in many-objective optimization of DLSR lattices for the first time, and lattices with natural emittances of 116 and 23 pm·rad were obtained at energies of 2 and 6 GeV, respectively, both with reasonable dynamic aperture and local momentum aperture(LMA). This work provides a valuable reference for future many-objective optimization of DLSRs.

文摘Shenvi et al.have proposed a quantum algorithm based on quantum walking called Shenvi-Kempe-Whaley(SKW)algorithm,but this search algorithm can only search one target state and use a specific search target state vector.Therefore,when there are more than two target nodes in the search space,the algorithm has certain limitations.Even though a multiobjective SKW search algorithm was proposed later,when the number of target nodes is more than two,the SKW search algorithm cannot be mapped to the same quotient graph.In addition,the calculation of the optimal target state depends on the number of target states m.In previous studies,quantum computing and testing algorithms were used to solve this problem.But these solutions require more Oracle calls and cannot get a high accuracy rate.Therefore,to solve the above problems,we improve the multi-target quantum walk search algorithm,and construct a controllable quantum walk search algorithm under the condition of unknown number of target states.By dividing the Hilbert space into multiple subspaces,the accuracy of the search algorithm is improved from p_(c)=(1/2)-O(1/n)to p_(c)=1-O(1/n).And by adding detection gate phase,the algorithm can stop when the amplitude of the target state becomes the maximum for the first time,and the algorithm can always maintain the optimal number of iterations,so as to reduce the number of unnecessary iterations in the algorithm process and make the number of iterations reach t_(f)=(π/2)(?).

文摘A novel multi-objective optimization algorithm incorporating vector method and evolution strategies,referred as vector dominant multi-objective evolutionary algorithm(VD-MOEA),is developed and applied to the aerodynamic-structural integrative design of wind turbine blades.A set of virtual vectors are elaborately constructed,guiding population to fast move forward to the Pareto optimal front and dominating the distribution uniformity with high efficiency.In comparison to conventional evolution algorithms,VD-MOEA displays dramatic improvement of algorithm performance in both convergence and diversity preservation when handling complex problems of multi-variables,multi-objectives and multi-constraints.As an example,a 1.5 MW wind turbine blade is subsequently designed taking the maximum annual energy production,the minimum blade mass,and the minimum blade root thrust as the optimization objectives.The results show that the Pareto optimal set can be obtained in one single simulation run and that the obtained solutions in the optimal set are distributed quite uniformly,maximally maintaining the population diversity.The efficiency of VD-MOEA has been elevated by two orders of magnitude compared with the classical NSGA-II.This provides a reliable high-performance optimization approach for the aerodynamic-structural integrative design of wind turbine blade.

文摘High-brightness electron beams are required to drive LINAC-based free-electron lasers(FELs)and storage-ring-based synchrotron radiation light sources.The bunch charge and RMS bunch length at the exit of the LINAC play a crucial role in the peak current;the minimum transverse emittance is mainly determined by the injector of the LINAC.Thus,a photoin-jector with a high bunch charge and low emittance that can simultaneously provide high-quality beams for 4th generation synchrotron radiation sources and FELs is desirable.The design of a 1.6-cell S-band 2998-MHz RF gun and beam dynamics optimization of a relevant beamline are presented in this paper.Beam dynamics simulations were performed by combining ASTRA and the multi-objective genetic algorithm NSGA II.The effects of the laser pulse shape,half-cell length of the RF gun,and RF parameters on the output beam quality were analyzed and compared.The normalized transverse emittance was optimized to be as low as 0.65 and 0.92 mm·mrad when the bunch charge was as high as 1 and 2 nC,respectively.Finally,the beam stability properties of the photoinjector,considering misalignment and RF jitter,were simulated and analyzed.
文摘A scheduling model of closely spaced parallel runways for arrival aircraft was proposed,with multi-objections of the minimum flight delay cost,the maximum airport capacity,the minimum workload of air traffic controller and the maximum fairness of airlines′scheduling.The time interval between two runways and changes of aircraft landing order were taken as the constraints.Genetic algorithm was used to solve the model,and the model constrained unit delay cost of the aircraft with multiple flight tasks to reduce its delay influence range.Each objective function value or the fitness of particle unsatisfied the constrain condition would be punished.Finally,one domestic airport hub was introduced to verify the algorithm and the model.The results showed that the genetic algorithm presented strong convergence and timeliness for solving constraint multi-objective aircraft landing problem on closely spaced parallel runways,and the optimization results were better than that of actual scheduling.
文摘A software defined networking(SDN) system has a logically centralized control plane that maintains a global network view and enables network-wide management, optimization, and innovation. Network-wide management and optimization problems are typicallyvery complex with a huge solution space, large number of variables, and multiple objectives. Heuristic algorithms can solve theseproblems in an acceptable time but are usually limited to some particular problem circumstances. On the other hand, evolutionaryalgorithms(EAs), which are general stochastic algorithms inspired by the natural biological evolution and/or social behavior of species, can theoretically be used to solve any complex optimization problems including those found in SDNs. This paper reviewsfour types of EAs that are widely applied in current SDNs: Genetic Algorithms(GAs), Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO), Ant Colony Optimization(ACO), and Simulated Annealing(SA) by discussing their techniques, summarizing their representative applications, and highlighting their issues and future works. To the best of our knowledge, our work is the first that compares the tech-niques and categorizes the applications of these four EAs in SDNs.
