1. Numerical analysis of collapse modes in optimized design of alveolar Steel-concrete composite beams via genetic algorithms
Abstract The objective of this study is to present the formulation and applications of the optimization problem of steel-concrete composite alveolar beams. In addition to presenting the formulation, a comparative analysis of the predominant collapse modes is performed numerically via the finite element method. The optimization program was developed with the

2. A DISCRETE DYNAMICAL SYSTEM AND ITS APPLICATIONS
ABSTRACT The main goal of this manuscript is to introduce a discrete dynamical system defined by symmetric matrices and a real parameter. By construction, we rediscovery the Power Iteration Method from the Projected Gradient Method. Convergence of the discrete dynamical system solution is established. Finally, we consider two applications, the first one cons

3. Direct sequencing of blocks in stochastic models with multi-mines and multi-destinations
Abstract Mining Scheduling is the one that maximizes profit from mining over time. By means of computational methods, the deposit is discretized in blocks and algorithms are used to consummate this objective. The methods that are widely known nowadays for mining scheduling optimization of a discrete block model were based on graph theory, and among those mos

4. Study and Optimization of Raman Amplifiers in Tellurite-Based Optical Fibers for Wide-Band Telecommunication Systems
Abstract Here we present a numerical analysis and the optimization of a multi-pump discrete Raman amplification system based on the use of a Tellurite optical fiber as the gain media. By using previously reported optimization techniques we were able to exploit the high Raman gain of Tellurite optical fibers and its multipeak spectrum to achieve amplification

5. STOCHASTIC DISCRETE LOT-SIZING WITH LEAD TIMES FOR FUEL SUPPLY OPTIMIZATION
ABSTRACT We address the problem of expected cost minimization of meeting the uncertain fuel demand during a time planning horizon, where supply is provided by selecting discrete shipments with lead times. Due to uncertainty and the passage of time, corrective actions can be taken such as cancellation and postponement on supply of shipments with associated co

6. NEW THEORETICAL INVESTIGATIONS ON THE GAP OF THE SKIVING STOCK PROBLEM
ABSTRACT The one-dimensional skiving stock problem is a combinatorial optimization problem being of high relevance whenever an efficient and sustainable utilization of given resources is intended. In the classical formulation, a given supply of (small) item lengths has to be used to build as many large objects (specified by some target length) as possible. F

7. Optimization of Planar Antenna Arrays Using the Firefly Algorithm
Abstract This paper describes the application of the Firefly Algorithm for the optimization of linear and planar antenna arrays. In order to demonstrate the potential of this technique, three applications are reported. The first one is the synthesis of a radiation pattern with isoflux distribution with a non-uniformly spaced linear array composed of isotropi

8. Optimal design of beam-column connections of plane steel frames using the component method
Abstract This paper presents a methodology for optimization of beam-column connections of plane steel frames. The objective is to obtain beam- column connections mechanically more efficient and with minimum cost by determination of the optimal dimensions for the components of the connection; satisfying mechanical constraints associated with the bending momen

9. Evolutionary Design of Engineering Constructions
Abstract The basic information required to utilize one of possible computation tools/algorithms (mainly the evolution strategy) to solve a wide class of real practical engineering optimization problems is presented and discussed in the present paper. The effectiveness of the considered method is demonstrated by the possibility of the use of different form o

10. A novel transition identification mechanism for the diesel blending and distribution scheduling problem using the discrete time representation with two time-scales granularity
ABSTRACT Transitions between tasks arise in many different scheduling problems. Sometimes transitions are undesired because they incur costs; sometimes they are undesired because they require setup time, and sometimes both. In one way or the other, frequently, transitions need to be identified and penalized in order for their frequency to be minimized. The p

12. Optimization of concrete I-beams using a new hybrid glowworm swarm algorithm
In this paper a new hybrid glowworm swarm algorithm (SAGSO) for solving structural optimization problems is presented. The structure proposed to be optimized here is a simply-supported concrete I-beam defined by 20 variables. Eight different concrete mixtures are studied, varying the compressive strength grade and compacting system. The solutions are evaluat
