Synthesis of optimal heat and mass exchange networks using a two-step hybrid approach including detailed unit designs by Short, Michael

“…Subsequent iterations of the network design step are then updated with information from the detailed network designs. The algorithm has certain advantages over previous methods in that the network optimisation is based on more realistic representations of the actual units therein and also that the method increases the likelihood of attaining a globally optimal solution through the generation and assessment of multiple candidate networks throughout the algorithm. …”

Drone Base Station Trajectory Management for Optimal Scheduling in LTE-Based Sparse Delay-Sensitive M2M Networks by Zeinab, El Sayed

“…Based on this formulation, we decided to compare between an Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) based technique that optimizes the drone movement among the sparsely-deployed MTCDs and a Genetic Algorithm (GA) based solution that achieves the same purpose. …”

Principal points, principal curves and principal surfaces by Ganey, Raeesa

“…Principal points of a distribution have been initially introduced by Flury (1990) who tackled the problem of optimal grouping in multivariate data. In essence, principal points are the theoretical counterparts of cluster means obtained by the k-means algorithm. …”
