  • Differential evolution is an efficient algorithm for solving continuous optimization problems. However, its performance deteriorates rapidly, and the runtime increases exponentially when differential evolution is applied for solving large-scale optimization problems. Hence, a novel cooperative coevolution differential evolution based on Spark (known as SparkDECC) is proposed. The divide-and-conquer strategy is used in SparkDECC. First, the large-scale problem is decomposed into several low-dimensional subproblems using the random grouping strategy. Subsequently, each subproblem can be addressed in a parallel manner by exploiting the parallel computation capability of the resilient distributed datasets model in Spark. Finally, the optimal solution of the entire problem is obtained using the cooperation mechanism. The experimental results on 13 high-benchmark functions show that the new algorithm performs well in terms of speedup and scalability. The effectiveness and applicability of the proposed algorithm are verified.

  • We establish some common fixed point theorems satisfying weak ψ - ϕ contraction on partially ordered non-Archimedean fuzzy metric spaces. By using this results we show the existence of fixed point on the domain of words and apply this approach to deduce the existence of solution for some recurrence equations associated to the analysis of Quicksort algorithms and divide and Conquer algorithms, respectively and also give an example to show the usefulness of our hypothesis. Our results generalize, extend and improve several well-known results of the existing literature in fixed point theory.

  • Fuzzy Min-Max Neural Network(FMMNN) is a powerful classifier, It has, however, some problems. Learning result depends on the presentation order of input data and the training parameter that limits the size of hyperbox. The latter problem affects the result seriously. In this paper, the new approach to alleviate that without loss of on-line learning ability is proposed. The committee machine is used to achieve the multi-resolution FMMNN. Each expert is a FMMNN with fixed training parameter. The advantages of small and large training parameters are used at the same time. The parameters are selected by performance and independence measures. The Decision of each expert is guided by the gating network. Therefore the regional and parametric divide and conquer scheme are used. Simulation shows that the proposed method has better classification performance.

  • Recently, the modular learning are very popular and receive much attention for pattern classification. The modular learning method based on the "divide and conquer" strategy can not only solve the complex problems, but also reach a better result than a single classifier′s on the learning quality and speed. In the neural network area, some researches that take the modular learning approach also have been made to improve classification performance. In this paper, we propose a simple modular neural network for characters recognition of vehicle number plate and evaluate its performance on the clustering methods of feature vectors used in constructing subnetworks. We implement two clustering method, one is grouping similar feature vectors by K-means clustering algorithm, the other grouping unsimilar feature vectors by our proposed algorithm. The experiment result shows that our algorithm achieves much better performance.

  • This paper describes an efficient path generation method for area coverage. Its applications include robots for de-mining, cleaning, painting, and so on. Our method is basically based on a divide and conquer strategy. We developed a novel cell decomposition algorithm that divides a given area into several cells. Each cell is covered by a robot motion that requires minimum time to cover the cell. Using this method, completeness and time efficiency of coverage are easily achieved. For the completeness of coverage in dynamic environments, we also propose a path following method that makes the robot cover missed areas as a result of the presence of unknown obstacles. The effectiveness of the method is verified using computer simulations.

  • This paper gives two graph-based algorithms for radioactive decay computation. The first algorithm identifies the connected components of the graph induced from the given radioactive decay dynamics to reduce the size of the problem. The solutions are derived over the precalculated connected components, respectively and independently. The second algorithm utilizes acyclic structure of radioactive decay dynamics. The algorithm evaluates the reachable vertices of the induced system graph from the initially activated vertices and finds the minimal set of starting vertices populating the entire reachable vertices. Then, the decay calculations are performed over the reachable vertices from the identified minimal starting vertices, respectively, with the partitioned initial value over the reachable vertices. Formal arguments are given to show that the proposed graph inspired divide and conquer calculation methods perform the intended radioactive decay calculation. Empirical efforts comparing the proposed radioactive decay calculation algorithms are presented.

  • 트리는 계층적인 구조를 표현하는 데 편리한 자료 구조로서 그 응용 분야가 정렬, 탐색, 컴파일러, 계층적 데이터베이스 모델, 조직 차트 등 매우 광범위하다. 트리를 시각적으로 도시하는 것은 단순히 노드를 나열하는 것보다 구조적 관계를 표현하는데 효과적이다. 트리를 크기가 제한된 하면세 도시할 경우에는 시각적 측면을 고려하여 가능한 한 최소의 면적에 도시하는 것이 필요하다. Tilford가 제안한 트리 도시 알고리즘은 왼쪽 알고리즘은 왼쪽부터 최소 간격을 유지하면서 노드의 위치를 결정하는 알고리즘의 특성 때문에 두 개의 높이가 큰 서브 트리가 양쪽으로 있을 때, 두 서브 트리 사이의 작은 서브트리들이 오른쪽에 공간이 있음에도 불구하고 왼쪽으로 치우치게 위치되는 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 노드들의 균형을 고려하여 배치하는 분할-정복 알고리즘을 개발하였고 알고리즘의 정확성을 증명하였다.

  • This paper considers the problem of routing connections in a optical multi tree networks using WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing), where each connection between a pair of nodes in the network is assigned a path through the network and a wavelength on that path, so that connections whose paths share a common link in the network are assigned different wavelengths. The problem of optimal coloring of the paths on the optical multi-networks is NP-hard[1], but if that is the coloring of all paths, then there exists efficient polynomial time algorithm. In this paper, using a "divide & conquer" method, we give efficient algorithm to assign wavelengths to all the paths of a tree network based on the theory of [7]. Here, our time complexity is 0(n4log n).

  • 최근, 분류기 쪽에서는 모듈라 학습을 이용한 방법들에 대해서 상당한 관심이 모아지고 있다. 모듈라 학습 방법은 divide and conquer 개념에 바탕을 두고 있기 때문에 복잡한 문제에 대해서 학습 질 측면이나 학습 속도 면에서 단일 분류기에 비해 좋은 결과들을 나타내고 있다. 인공신경망을 이용한 분류 방법 쪽에서도 이러한 연구들이 이루어지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 번호판 인식을 위한 간단한 형태의 모듈라 신경망을 제안하고 이의 성능을 평가하였다. 실험 결과, 일반적인 차량 번호판의 영상에서 성공적인 결과를 보였으며, 잡음에 의한 훼손된 번호판도 좋은 인식 결과를 보였다. 또한 인식률 측면 뿐만 아니라 학습 속도 면에서도 상당한 이득이 있었다.
