The discovery of piezoelectricity, endogenous electric fields and transmembrane potentials
in biological tissues raised the question whether or not electric fields play an important role in …

Recent theoretical research has shown that self-adjusting and self-adaptive mechanisms
can provably outperform static settings in evolutionary algorithms for binary search spaces. …

Recently a mechanism called stagnation detection was proposed that automatically adjusts
the mutation rate of evolutionary algorithms when they encounter local optima. The so-called …

Stagnation detection has been proposed as a mechanism for randomized search heuristics
to escape from local optima by automatically increasing the size of the neighborhood to find …

Two mechanisms have recently been proposed that can significantly speed up finding distant
improving solutions via mutation, namely using a random mutation rate drawn from a heavy…

The Metropolis algorithm (MA) is a classic stochastic local search heuristic. It avoids getting
stuck in local optima by occasionally accepting inferior solutions. To better and in a rigorous …

The purpose of this study is to numerical simulation of turbulent nanofluid flow in the narrow
channel with a heated wall and a spherical dimple placed on it by using of single- phase …

We prove that Simulated Annealing with an appropriate cooling schedule computes arbitrarily
tight constant-factor approximations to the minimum spanning tree problem in polynomial …

In this paper, an optimized design for rhombic transposition flaps is created using a reliable
finite element model that assures convergence for stress and deformation results. Defining a …

The co-occurrence of deep vein thrombosis with vascular aneurysms, whether venous or
arterial, seems to be uncommon. This case report details a patient who experienced an …
