1. Introduction Game is a competitive activity involving skill, chance, or endurance on the part of two or more persons who play according to a set of rules, usually for their own amusement or for that of spectators Most of the design problems in the nature can be considered as optimization problems which request some […]

Inspired by Plants Survival An New Optimization is presented: Fertile Field Algorithm for Continuous Nonlinear Optimization Problems
1. Introduction Nature, as a rich source of solutions, can be an inspirational guide to answer scientific expectations [1]. Seed dispersal mechanism as one of the most common reproduction [2] method among the plants is a unique technique with millions of years of evolutionary history [3]. Inspired by plants survival, a novel method of optimization […]

1. Introduction A new optimization algorithm called Rain optimization Algorithm (ROA) [1] is validated by applying on computationally expensive benchmark problems [2]. ROA mimics the natural behavior of raindrops trickling down a hill (high position) towards a valley (low position) [3]. 2. Inspiration of ROA The main inspiration of ROA is from raindrop behavior [4]. Raindrops naturally trickle down along […]

1. Introduction In different real-world problems there is a need to minimize production cost, risks, and maximize reliability etc [1]. Optimization is the process of determining the best value for a decision variable of a function so as to minimize or maximize an objective function [2]. The objective of the optimization process is to determine […]

1. Introduction In Chemistry, the vapor-liquid equilibrium process describes the distribution of chemical species combining two essential phases [1]: vapor phase and liquid phase. Using a binary system of compounds is possible to simulate a search process based on the equilibrium between both phases [2]. Understanding the distribution of chemical components in both the vapor and liquid phase, called vapor-liquid […]

1. Introduction The Border collie is often considered to be the brightest dog from other breeds that are considered to have higher cognitive skill levels [1]. It is known that dogs, like people, have different levels of intelligence [2]. Intelligence is determined by the ability of the dog to learn, which generally means the ability […]
