Differential Evolution algorithm with Separated Groups for multi-dimensional optimization problems

The classical Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm, one of population-based Evolutionary Computation methods, proved to be a successful approach for relatively simple problems, but does not perform well for difficult multi-dimensional non-convex functions. A number of significant modifications of DE have been proposed in recent years, including very few approaches referring to the idea of distributed Evolutionary Algorithms. The present paper presents a new algorithm to improve optimization performance, namely DE with Separated Groups (DE-SG), which distributes population into small groups, defines rules of exchange of information and individuals between the groups and uses two different strategies to keep balance between exploration and exploitation capabilities. The performance of DE-SG is compared to that of eight algorithms belonging to the class of Evolutionary Strategies (Covariance Matrix Adaptation ES), Particle Swarm Optimization (Comprehensive Learning PSO and Efficient Population Utilization Strategy PSO), Differential Evolution (Distributed DE with explorative-exploitative population families, Self-adaptive DE, DE with global and local neighbours and Grouping Differential Evolution) and multi-algorithms (AMALGAM). The comparison is carried out for a set of 10-, 30- and 50-dimensional rotated test problems of varying difficulty, including 10- and 30-dimensional composition functions from CEC2005. Although slow for simple functions, the proposed DE-SG algorithm achieves a great success rate for more difficult 30- and 50-dimensional problems.     

On n-dimensional sampling theorems

Two n-dimensional nonuniform-sampling theorems are proved, which possess additional freedom for constructing recovery functions. One of these implies the n-dimensional uniform-sampling theorem for functions with band-limited Fourier transforms, which also has been proved here through distribution theory. Balth van der Pol's 1959 conjecture on nonuniform sampling for time function is a consequence of these two theorems. For either case, the recovery functions are analytic.     

Complete Enumeration of Small Realizable Oriented Matroids

Enumeration of all combinatorial types of point configurations and polytopes is a fundamental problem in combinatorial geometry. Although many studies have been done, most of them are for 2-dimensional and non-degenerate cases. Finschi and Fukuda (Discrete Comput Geom 27:117–136, 2002) published the first database of oriented matroids including degenerate (i.e., non-uniform) ones and of higher ranks. In this paper, we investigate algorithmic ways to classify them in terms of realizability, although the underlying decision problem of realizability checking is NP-hard. As an application, we determine all possible combinatorial types (including degenerate ones) of 3-dimensional configurations of 8 points, 2-dimensional configurations of 9 points, and 5-dimensional configurations of 9 points. We also determine all possible combinatorial types of 5-polytopes with nine vertices.     

Canonical factorization of continuous functions on the -torus

In this article we study the canonical factorization of continuous complex-valued functions on the -dimensional torus belonging to a weighted Wiener algebra with respect to a linear order on the -tuples of integers. It is proved that a function has a canonical factorization in this algebra if and only if it has a logarithm belonging to this algebra. A second characterization is given in terms of winding numbers. Moreover, the maximal ideal spaces of the relevant Banach algebras are identified.

     

The Closed Orbits of a Class of Cubic Vector Fields in R3

In this paper, we investigate the isolated closed orbits of two types of cubic vector fields in R₃ by using the idea of central projection transformation, which sets up a bridge connecting the vector field X(x) in R₃ with the planar vector fields. We have proved that the cubic vector field in R₃ can have two isolated closed orbits or one closed orbit on the invariant cone. As an application of this result, we have shown that a class of 3-dimensional cubic system has at least 10 isolated closed orbits located on 5 invariant cones, and another type of 3-dimensional cubic system has at least 26 isolated closed orbits located on 13 invariant cones or 26 invariant cones.     

Symmetry reductions and explicit solutions of a (3 + 1)-dimensional PDE

The symmetry of the (3 + 1)-dimensional partial differential equation has been derived via a direct symmetry method and proved to be infinite dimensional non-Virasoro type symmetry algebra. Many kinds of symmetry reductions have been obtained, including the (2 + 1)-dimensional ANNV equation and breaking soliton equation. And some new soliton solutions and complex solutions are obtained due to the Riccati equation method and symbolic computation.     

Links between some (2 + 1)-dimensional nonlinear evolution equations and Painlevé-II equations

Using the idea of transformation, some links between (2 + 1)-dimensional nonlinear evolution equations and the ordinary differential equations Painlevé-II equations has been illustrated. The Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (KP) equation, generalized (2 + 1)-dimensional break soliton equation and (2 + 1)-dimensional Boussinesq equation are researched. As a result, some new interesting results about these (2 + 1)-dimensional PDEs have been obtained, such as the exact solutions with arbitrary functions, rich rational solutions and the nontrivial Bäcklund transformations have been derived.

Bilinear identities for an extended B-type Kadomtsev–Petviashvili hierarchy

We construct bilinear identities for wave functions of an extended B-type Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (BKP) hierarchy containing two types of (2+1)-dimensional Sawada–Kotera equations with a self-consistent source. Introducing an auxiliary variable corresponding to the extended flow for the BKP hierarchy, we find the τ -function and bilinear identities for this extended BKP hierarchy. The bilinear identities generate all the Hirota bilinear equations for the zero-curvature forms of this extended BKP hierarchy. As examples, we obtain the Hirota bilinear equations for the two types of (2+1)-dimensional Sawada–Kotera equations in explicit form.     

Study on the behavior of oscillating solitons using the (2+1)-dimensional nonlinear system

By means of an extended homogeneous balance method and a variable separation hypothesis, a broad general variable separation solution with three specific arbitrary functions of the nonlinear (2+1)-dimensional Broer-Kaup (BK) equations was derived. Based on the derived solution, a number of abundant oscillating solitons, such as dromion, multi-dromion, solitoff, ring, multi-lump and so on, have been revealed in this study by selecting appropriate functions of the general variable separation solution.
