Temperature control by chip-implemented adaptive recurrent fuzzy controller designed by evolutionary algorithm

TL;DR: Online adaptive temperature control by field-programmable gate array (FPGA) - implemented adaptive recurrent fuzzy controller (ARFC) chip is proposed in this paper and the incorporated Simplex method helps find a better solution around the local region of the best solution found by PSO so far.

Parallel Estimation of Distribution Algorithms

Jiri Ocenasek
TL;DR: The thesis deals with the new evolutionary paradigm based on the concept of Estimation of Distribution Algorithms (EDAs) that use probabilistic model of promising solutions found so far to obtain new candidate solutions of optimized problem.

Systems and methods for efficient frontier supplementation in multi-objective portfolio analysis

TL;DR: In this article, a method for multi-objective portfolio optimization for use in investment decisions based on competing objectives and a plurality of constraints constituting a portfolio problem is presented. But this method is not suitable for the problem of multi-dimensional portfolio optimization.

Error thresholds in genetic algorithms

TL;DR: This work uses a genetic algorithm, instead of the quasispecies model, as the underlying model of evolution, and investigates whether the phenomenon of error thresholds is found on finite populations of bit strings evolving on complex landscapes, and finds that error thresholds depend mainly on the selection pressure and genotype length.
