The performance of coevolutionary topologies in developing competitive tree manipulation strategies for symbolic regression by Ombura, Martin

“…We adopt a hybrid evolutionary algorithm (EA) that implements the tree based phenotypic structure of genetic programming (GP) and the list-based chromosome of genetic algorithm (GA) that permits embedding of mathematical tree manipulation (MTM) strategies, as well as adequate selection mechanisms for search. …”

An investigation into higher and partial moment portfolio selection frameworks by Polden, Stuart John

“…It solves the endogeneity issue present in the co-semivariance matrices, through the usage of a direct multi-search algorithm. The two frameworks were tested across multiple datasets, including one of pure stocks and one of asset classes, to test the ability to both allocate assets and select stocks. …”

Nonlinear heat transfer and thermo mechanical stress analysis using finite elements. by Pennington, Derek Steven

“…Four, eight and nine noded isoparametric continuum finite elements with the option of the plane stress, plane strain and axisymetric cases are utilized. Nonlinear heat transfer due to temperature dependent thermal conductivity and/or internal heat generation is solved using an iterative method based on the Newton-Raphson algorithm. …”
