On the limitations of classical benchmark functions for evaluating robustness of evolutionary algorithms

Although evolutionary algorithms (EAs) have some operators which let them explore the whole search domain, still they get trapped in local minima when multimodality of the objective function is increased. To improve the performance of EAs, many optimization techniques or operators have been introduced in recent years. However, it seems that these modified versions exploit some special properties of the classical multimodal benchmark functions, some of which have been noted in previous research and solutions to eliminate them have been proposed.In this article, we show that quite symmetric behavior of the available multimodal test functions is another example of these special properties which can be exploited by some EAs such as covariance matrix adaptation evolution strategy (CMA-ES). This method, based on its invariance properties and good optimization results for available unimodal and multimodal benchmark functions, is considered as a robust and efficient method. However, as far as black box optimization problems are considered, no special trend in the behavior of the objective function can be assumed; consequently this symmetry limits the generalization of optimization results from available multimodal benchmark functions to real world problems. To improve the performance of CMA-ES, the Elite search sub-algorithm is introduced and implemented in the basic algorithm. Importance and effect of this modification is illustrated experimentally by dissolving some test problems in the end.     

Generalized evolution variational inequalities and their applications to partial differential equations

We study the existence of solutions to generalized evolution vari ational inequalities by pseudomonotone mapping theory. We obtain results which generalize and extend previously known theorems. We then apply our results to parabolic partial differential equations with discontinuous nonlinearities.     

On the proximinality of compact operators over spaces of measurable functions

The main results in this paper are, the characterization of all the σfinite positive measures μ and v, for which K(L₁(μ, L₁(v)) proximinal in K(L₁(μ, L₁(v)) all the a-finite positive measures fi and v, for which K(L_∞(μ), L_∞(v)) is proximinal in L(L_∞μ)), L_v(v)) and all the compact Hausdorff spaces Q, for which K(C(Q), L_∞(μ)) is proximinal in L(C(Q), :_∞(μ))     

Random Line Tessellations of the Plane: Statistical Properties of Many-Sided Cells

We consider a family of random line tessellations of the Euclidean plane introduced in a more formal context by Hug and Schneider (Geom. Funct. Anal. 17:156, 2007) and described by a parameter α≥1. For α=1 the zero-cell (that is, the cell containing the origin) coincides with the Crofton cell of a Poisson line tessellation, and for α=2 it coincides with the typical Poisson-Voronoi cell. Let p _n (α) be the probability for the zero-cell to have n sides. We construct the asymptotic expansion of log p _n (α) up to terms that vanish as n→∞. Our methods are nonrigorous but of the kind commonly accepted in theoretical physics as leading to exact results. In the large-n limit the cell is shown to become circular. The circle is centered at the origin when α>1, but gets delocalized for the Crofton cell, α=1, which is a singular point of the parameter range. The large-n expansion of log p _n (1) is therefore different from that of the general case and we show how to carry it out. As a corollary we obtain the analogous expansion for the typical n-sided cell of a Poisson line tessellation.     

Study on the denoising method for the electromagnetic ultrasonic echoes from multiple interfaces

The electromagnetic ultrasound is used in the detection of interfaces of the adhesive multilayer structures to solve the unstable coupling problem in ultrasonic testing by traditional piezoelectric transducers. Based on the analysis of the transforming mechanism of electromag-netic ultrasound energy and the resultant dead zone from mutual inductance of the transducer, the wavelet filtering by soft-thresholding and adaptive noise canceling methods are used simul-taneously to the detected electromagnetic ultrasonic signals to overcome the drawbacks of the low signal to noise ratio （SNR） and the wide intrinsic dead zone of the transducer. Processed results in the interface detection of a three layered adhesive sample of steel and rubber materials demonstrate that the wavelet filtering enhances the SNR about 12dB while the adaptive noise canceling narrows the dead zone effectively.     

Directivity calculation with experimental verification for a conformal array of underwater acoustic transducers

The radiation directivity of a complicated conformal array of underwater acoustic transducers is presented based on the boundary ＂element method. It includes the element directivity of each transducer, the natural beam pattern and the controlled beam pattern of the transducer array. At first, the boundary element model of the conformal array is built up, and then the boundary condition is exerted on the model according to the design and environment in which the transducer array is used, and the radiation directivity of the conformal array is calculated. An experiment has been done to measure the directivity in an anechoic water tank. The calculated and the experimental results are compared and analyzed. They are consistent to each other. It is shown that the boundary element method together with the detailed calculations is successful to simulate and predict the radiation directivity of an underwater acoustic transducer array.
