Abstract: This paper proposes a generalized Firefly Algorithm (FA) to solve an optimization framework having objective function and constraints as multivariate functions of independent optimization ...

In the Micromouse competition, tiny autonomous robots race to solve complex mazes as quickly as possible. Some of the fastest robots can complete the course in as little as six seconds, using sensors, ...

Abstract: In this study, an optimal output feedback tracking control approach with a Q-learning algorithm is presented for Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy discrete-time systems with immeasurable states.

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In 1939, upon arriving late to his statistics course at UC Berkeley, George Dantzig—a first-year graduate student—copied two problems ...

Optimal Blue CEO Joe Tyrrell has responded to a class action lawsuit alleging mortgage price-fixing, calling the claims baseless and frivolous. The company, along with 26 major lenders, is accused of ...

The leading approach to the simplex method, a widely used technique for balancing complex logistical constraints, can’t get any better. In 1939, upon arriving late to his statistics course at the ...

It’s hard to ignore the seismic shifts brought about by algorithm-driven content. Every time you scroll through your social media feed or check your favorite news app, algorithms are diligently at ...

Every day, researchers search for optimal solutions. They might want to figure out where to build a major airline hub. Or to determine how to maximize return while minimizing risk in an investment ...

“All in.” Your opponent slides a stack of chips across the high-stakes poker table. You glance back at your cards, a pair of sixes. The game is Texas Hold’em. Only two of you remain, and no community ...
