In this paper, an Adaptive Evolutionary Computation(AEC) is proposed. AEC uses a genetic algorithm(GA) and an evolution strategy (ES) in an adaptive manner is order to take merits of two different evolutionary computations: global search capability of GA and local search capability of ES. In the reproduction procedure, proportions of the population by GA and ES are adaptively modulated according to the fitness. AEC is used to design the membership functions and the scaling factors of fuzzy logic controller (FLC). To evaluate the performances of the proposed FLC, we make an experiment on FLC for the speed control of an actual DC series motor system with nonlinear characteristics. Experimental results show that the proposed controller has better performance than that of PD controller.

In this paper, fuzzy logic controllers(FLC) are designed for control of flight. For tuning FLC, we used adaptive evolutionary algorithms(AEA) which uses a genetic algorithm(GA) and an evolution strategy (ES) in an adaptive manner in order to take merits of two different evolutionary computations. We used AEA to search for optimal settings of the membership functions shape and gains of the inputs and outputs of FLC. Finally, the proposed controller is applied to the high-angle-of-attack flight system for a supermaneuverable version of the f-18 aircraft and compares with other methods.

In this paper, we proposed an adaptive PSO(APSO) algorithm which changes parameter values with every recursion based on the conventional particle swam optimization(CPSO). In order to solve the optimization problem, the proposed APSO algorithm is applied to some functions, such as the De Jong function, Ackley function, Davis function and Griewank function. The superiority of the proposed APSO algorithm compared with the genetic algorithm(GA) is proved through the numerical experiment. Finally we applied the proposed algorithm to developing a function for personal magnetic field exposure based with real datas which are acquired based on the consumer research and field measuring instrument.

Since self-organizing map (SOM) preserves the topology of ordering in input spaces and trains itself by unsupervised algorithm, it is Llsed in many areas. However, SOM has a shortcoming: structure cannot be easily detcrmined without many trials-and-errors. Structure-adaptive self-orgnizing map (SASOM) which can adapt its structure as well as its weights overcome the shortcoming of self-organizing map: SASOM makes use of structure adaptation capability to place the nodes of prototype vectors into the pattern space accurately so as to make the decision boundmies as close to the class boundaries as possible. In this scheme, the initialization of weights of newly adapted nodes is important. This paper proposes a method which optimizes SASOM with genetic algorithm (GA) to determines the weight vector of newly split node. The leanling algorithm is a hybrid of unsupervised learning method and supervised learning method using LVQ algorithm. This proposed method not only shows higher performance than SASOM in terms of recognition rate and variation, but also preserves the topological order of input patterns well. Experiments with 2D pattern space data and handwritten digit database show that the proposed method is promising.

This paper proposes the information retrieval improvement for the Web using the structure and hyperlinks of HTML documents along with user profile. The method bases on the rationale that terms appearing in different structure of documents may have different significance in identifying the documents. The method partitions the occurrence of terms in a document collection into six classes according to the tags in which particular terms occurred (such as Title, H1-H6 and Anchor). We use genetic algorithm to determine class importance values and expand user query. We also use this value in similarity computation and update user profile. Then a genetic algorithm is used again to select some terms from user profile to expand the original query. Lastly, the search engine uses the expanded query for searching and the results of the search engine are scored by similarity values between each result and the user profile. Vector space model is used and the weighting schemes of traditional information retrieval were extended to include class importance values. The tested results show that precision is up to 81.5%.

To optimize movement of a multi-joint robot arm is known to be a difficult problem, because it is a kind of redundant system. Although the end-effector is set its position by each angle of the joints, the angle of each joint cannot be uniquely determined by the position of the end-effector. There exist the infinite number of different sets of joint angles which represent the same position of the end-effector. This paper describes how to manage the angle of each joint to move its end-effector preferably on an X-Y plane with obstacles in the end-effector’s reachable area, and how to optimize the movement of a multi-joint robot arm, evading obstacles. The definition of “preferable” movement depends upon a purpose of robot operation. First, we divide viewpoints of preference into two, 1) the standpoint of the end-effector, and 2) the standpoint of joints. Then, we define multiple objective functions, and formulate it into a multi-objective programming problem. Finally, we solve it using multi-purpose genetic algorithm, and obtain reasonable results. The method described here is possible to add appropriate objective function if necessary for the purpose.

With the growing demand for metallic dampers in engineering practice, it is urgent to establish a reasonable approach to evaluating the mechanical performance of metallic dampers under seismic excitations. This paper introduces an effective method for parameter identification of the modified Bouc-Wen model and its application to evaluating the fatigue performance of metallic dampers (MDs). The modified Bouc-Wen model which eliminates the redundant parameter is used to describe the hysteresis behavior of MDs. Relations between the parameters of the modified Bouc-Wen model and the mechanical performance parameters of MDs are studied first. A modified Genetic Algorithm using real-integer hybrid coding with relative fitness as well as adaptive crossover and mutation rates (called RFAGA) is then proposed to identify the parameters of the modified Bouc-Wen model. A reliable approach to evaluating the fatigue performance of the MDs with respect to the Chinese Code for Seismic Design of Buildings (GB 50011-2010) is finally proposed based on the research results. Experimental data are employed to demonstrate the process and verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach. It is shown that the RFAGA is able to converge quickly in the identification process, and the simulation curves based on the identification results fit well with the experimental hysteresis curves. Furthermore, the proposed approach is shown to be a useful tool for evaluating the fatigue performance of MDs with respect to the Chinese Code for Seismic Design of Buildings (GB 50011-2010).

This study develops a two stage procedure to identify the structural damage based on the optimized artificial neural networks. Initially, the modal strain energy index (MSEI) is established to extract the damaged elements and to reduce the computational time. Then the genetic algorithm (GA) and artificial neural networks (ANNs) are combined to detect the damage severity. The input of the network is modal strain energy index and the output is the flexural stiffness of the beam elements. The principal component analysis (PCA) is utilized to reduce the input variants of the neural network. By using the genetic algorithm to optimize the parameters, the ANNs can significantly improve the accuracy and convergence of the damage identification. The influence of noise on damage identification results is also studied. The simulation and experiment on beam structures shows that the adaptive parameter selection neural network can identify the damage location and severity of beam structures with high accuracy.

In this thesis, we have designed the indirect adaptive controller using Dynamic Neural Units(DNU) for unknown nonlinear systems. Proposed indirect adaptive controller using Dynamic Neural Unit based upon the topology of a reverberating circuit in a neuronal pool of the central nervous system. In this thesis, we present a genetic DNU-control scheme for unknown nonlinear systems. Our method is different from those using supervised learning algorithms, such as the backpropagation (BP) algorithm, that needs training information in each step. The contributions of this thesis are the new approach to constructing neural network architecture and its training.

In this paper, we construct a hybrid intelligent controller based on a fusion scheme of GA(Genetic Algorithm) and FCM(Fuzzy C-Means) clustering-based ANFIS(Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System). In the structure identification, a set of fuzzy rules are generated for a given criterion by FCM clustering algorithm. In the parameter identification, premise parameters are optimally searched by adaptive GA. On the other hand, consequent parameters are estimated by RLSE(Recursive Least Square Estimate) to reduce the search space. Finally, we applied the proposed method to the truck backer-upper control and obtained a better performance than previous works.
