Objective functions—mathematical formulations that define what success looks like—provide this essential clarity. While common in traditional optimization, these structured targets are often ...

Genetic algorithm is a search algorithm based on the mechanics of natural selection and natural genetics. The purpose of this paper is to optimize/maximize de Jong’s function1 in GA using ...

The nonlinear QUANEW algorithm is not a feasible point algorithm, and the value of the objective function need not decrease (minimization) or increase (maximization) monotonically. Instead, the ...
