In Systems Biology, system identification, which infers regulatory network in genetic system and metabolic pathways using experimentally observed time-course data, is one of the hottest issues. The efficient numerical optimization algorithm to estimate more than 100 real-coded parameters should be developed for this purpose.

Compared with conventional RCGA, the combination of UNDX (unimodal normal distribution crossover) with MGG (minimal generation gap), new algorithm has shown the superiority with improving early convergence in the first stage of search and suppressing evolutionary stagnation in the last stage of search.

Real-Code Genetic Algorithm for Ground State Energies of Hydrogenic Donors in GaAs-（Ga,Al）As Quantum Dots

We present a global optimization method, called the real-code genetic algorithm (RGA), to the ground state energies. The proposed method does not require partial derivatives with respect to each variational parameter or solving an eigenequation, so the present method overcomes the major difficulties of the variational method. RGAs also do not require coding and encoding procedures, so the computation time and complexity are reduced. The ground state energies of hydrogenic donors in GaAs-(Ga,Al)As quantum dots have been calculated for a range of the radius of the quantum dot radii of practical interest. They are compared with those obtained by the variational method. The results obtained demonstrate the proposed method is simple, accurate, and easy implement.

Adaptive Real-Coded Genetic Algorithm for Identifying Motor Systems

In this paper, the main objective is to identify the parameters of motors, which includes a brushless direct current (BLDC) motor and an induction motor. The motor systems are dynamically formulated by the mechanical and electrical equations. The real-coded genetic algorithm (RGA) is adopted to identify all parameters of motors, and the standard genetic algorithm (SRGA) and various adaptive genetic algorithm (ARGAs) are compared in the rotational angular speeds and fitness values, which are the inverse of square differences of angular speeds. From numerical simulations and experimental results, it is found that the SRGA and ARGA are feasible, the ARGA can effectively solve the problems with slow convergent speed and premature phenomenon, and is more accurate in identifying system’s parameters than the SRGA. From the comparisons of the ARGAs in identifying parameters of motors, the best ARGA method is obtained and could be applied to any other mechatronic systems.

Adaptive genetic algorithm-based design of gamma-graphyne nanoribbon incorporating diamond-shaped segment with high thermoelectric conversion efficiency

The gamma-graphyne nanoribbons(γ-GYNRs) incorporating diamond-shaped segment(DSSs) with excellent thermoelectric properties are systematically investigated by combining nonequilibrium Green’s functions with adaptive genetic algorithm. Our calculations show that the adaptive genetic algorithm is efficient and accurate in the process of identifying structures with excellent thermoelectric performance. In multiple rounds, an average of 476 candidates(only 2.88% of all16512 candidate structures) are calculated to obtain the structures with extremely high thermoelectric conversion efficiency.The room temperature thermoelectric figure of merit(ZT) of the optimal γ-GYNR incorporating DSSs is 1.622, which is about 5.4 times higher than that of pristine γ-GYNR(length 23.693 nm and width 2.660 nm). The significant improvement of thermoelectric performance of the optimal γ-GYNR is mainly attributed to the maximum balance of inhibition of thermal conductance(proactive effect) and reduction of thermal power factor(side effect). Moreover, through exploration of the main variables affecting the genetic algorithm, it is revealed that the efficiency of the genetic algorithm can be improved by optimizing the initial population gene pool, selecting a higher individual retention rate and a lower mutation rate. The results presented in this paper validate the effectiveness of genetic algorithm in accelerating the exploration of γ-GYNRs with high thermoelectric conversion efficiency, and could provide a new development solution for carbon-based thermoelectric materials.

Real-Time Patient-Specific ECG Arrhythmia Detection by Quantum Genetic Algorithm of Least Squares Twin SVM

The automatic detection of cardiac arrhythmias through remote monitoring is still a challenging task since electrocardiograms(ECGs)are easily contaminated by physiological artifacts and external noises,and these morphological characteristics show significant variations for different patients.A fast patient-specific arrhythmia diagnosis classifier scheme is proposed,in which a wavelet adaptive threshold denoising is combined with quantum genetic algorithm(QAG)based on least squares twin support vector machine(LSTSVM).The wavelet adaptive threshold denoising is employed for noise reduction,and then morphological features combined with the timing interval features are extracted to evaluate the classifier.For each patient,an individual and fast classifier will be trained by common and patient-specific training data.Following the recommendations of the Association for the Advancements of Medical Instrumentation(AAMI),experimental results over the MIT-BIH arrhythmia benchmark database demonstrated that our proposed method achieved the average detection accuracy of 98.22%,99.65%and 99.41%for the abnormal,ventricular ectopic beats(VEBs)and supra-VEBs(SVEBs),respectively.Besides the detection accuracy,sensitivity and specificity,our proposed method consumes the less CPU running time compared with the other representative state of the art methods.It can be ported to Android based embedded system,henceforth suitable for a wearable device.

Nonlinear amplitude inversion using a hybrid quantum genetic algorithm and the exact zoeppritz equation

The amplitude versus offset/angle(AVO/AVA)inversion which recovers elastic properties of subsurface media is an essential tool in oil and gas exploration.In general,the exact Zoeppritz equation has a relatively high accuracy in modelling the reflection coefficients.However,amplitude inversion based on it is highly nonlinear,thus,requires nonlinear inversion techniques like the genetic algorithm(GA)which has been widely applied in seismology.The quantum genetic algorithm(QGA)is a variant of the GA that enjoys the advantages of quantum computing,such as qubits and superposition of states.It,however,suffers from limitations in the areas of convergence rate and escaping local minima.To address these shortcomings,in this study,we propose a hybrid quantum genetic algorithm(HQGA)that combines a self-adaptive rotating strategy,and operations of quantum mutation and catastrophe.While the selfadaptive rotating strategy improves the flexibility and efficiency of a quantum rotating gate,the operations of quantum mutation and catastrophe enhance the local and global search abilities,respectively.Using the exact Zoeppritz equation,the HQGA was applied to both synthetic and field seismic data inversion and the results were compared to those of the GA and QGA.A number of the synthetic tests show that the HQGA requires fewer searches to converge to the global solution and the inversion results have generally higher accuracy.The application to field data reveals a good agreement between the inverted parameters and real logs.

Directional modulation is one of the hot topics in data security researches.To fulfill the requirements of communication security in wireless environment with multiple paths,this study takes into account the factors of reflections and antenna radiation pattern for directional modulation.Unlike other previous works,a novel multiple-reflection model,which is more realistic and complex than simplified two-ray reflection models,is proposed based on two reflectors.Another focus is a quantum genetic algorithm applied to optimize antenna excitation in a phased directional modulation antenna array.The quantum approach has strengths in convergence speed and the globe searching ability for the complicated model with the large-size antenna array and multiple paths.From this,a phased directional modulation transmission system can be optimized as regards communication safety and improve performance based on the constraint of the pattern of the antenna array.Our work can spur applications of the quantum evolutionary algorithm in directional modulation technology,which is also studied.

Cryptanalysis of TEA Using Quantum-Inspired Genetic Algorithms

The Tiny Encryption Algorithm (TEA) is a Feistel block cipher well known for its simple implementation, small memory footprint, and fast execution speed. In two previous studies, genetic algorithms (GAs) were employed to investigate the randomness of TEA output, based on which distinguishers for TEA could be designed. In this study, we used quan-tum-inspired genetic algorithms (QGAs) in the cryptanalysis of TEA. Quantum chromosomes in QGAs have the advan-tage of containing more information than the binary counterpart of the same length in GAs, and therefore generate a more diverse solution pool. We showed that QGAs could discover distinguishers for reduced cycle TEA that are more efficient than those found by classical GAs in two earlier studies. Furthermore, we applied QGAs to break four-cycle and five-cycle TEAs, a considerably harder problem, which the prior GA approach failed to solve.

Revenue Optimization of Pipelines Construction and Operation Management Based on Quantum Genetic Algorithm and Simulated Annealing Algorithm

For the optimization of pipelines, most researchers are mainly concerned with designing the most reasonable section to meet the requirements of strength and stiffness, and at the same time reduce the cost as much as possible. It is undeniable that they do achieve this goal by using the lowest cost in design phase to achieve maximum benefits. However, for pipelines, the cost and incomes of operation management are far greater than those in design phase. Therefore, the novelty of this paper is to propose an optimization model that considers the costs and incomes of the construction and operation phases, and combines them into one model. By comparing three optimization algorithms (genetic algorithm, quantum genetic algorithm and simulated annealing algorithm), the same optimization problem is solved. Then the most suitable algorithm is selected and the optimal solution is obtained, which provides reference for construction and operation management during the whole life cycle of pipelines.

A Cooperative Evolution of Multiple Operators Based Adaptive Quantum Genetic Algorithm for Network Coding Resources Optimization

In order to optimize the network coding resources in a multicast network, an improved adaptive quantum genetic algorithm (AM-QEA) was proposed. Firstly, the optimization problem was translated into a graph decomposition problem. Then the graph decomposition problem was represented by the binary coding, which can be processed by quantum genetic algorithm. At last, a multiple-operators based adaptive quantum genetic algorithm was proposed to optimize the network coding resources. In the algorithm, the individual fitness evaluation operator and population mutation adjustment operator were employed to solve the shortcomings of common quantum genetic algorithm, such as high convergence rate, easy to fall into local optimal solution and low diversity of the population in later stage. The experimental results under various topologies show that the proposed algorithm has the advantages of high multicast success rate, fast convergence speed and strong global search ability in resolving the network coding resource optimization problems.

A Self-Adaptive Quantum Genetic Algorithm for Network Flow Vehicle Scheduling Problem

Bicycle sharing scheduling is a complex mathematical optimization problem, and it is challenging to design a general algorithm to solve it well due to the uncertainty of its influencing factors. This paper creatively establishes a new mathematical model to determine the appropriate number of vehicles to be placed at each placement point by calculating the traffic weights of the placement points and optimizes the hyperparameters in the algorithm by adaptive quantum genetic algorithm, and at the same time combines the network flow algorithm in graph theory to calculate the most suitable scheduling scheme for shared bicycles by establishing the minimum cost maximum flow network. Through experimental validation, the network flow-based algorithm proposed in this paper allows for a more convenient calculation of the daily bike-sharing scheduling scheme compared to previous algorithms. An adaptive quantum genetic algorithm optimizes the hyperparameters appearing in the algorithm. The experimental results show that the algorithm achieves good results as the transportation cost is only 1/15th of the GA algorithm and 1/9th of the QGA algorithm.

A Real-coded Genetic Algorithm Applied to Optimum Design of a Low Solidity Vaned Diffuser for Diffuser Pinup

A numerical procedure for hydrodynamic redesign of the conventional vaned diffuser into the low solidity vaned diffuser by means of a real-coded genetic algorithm with Boltzmann, Tournament and Roulette Wheel selection is presented. In the first part, an investigation on the relative efficiency of the different real-coded genetic algorithm is carried out on a typical mathematical test function. The real-coded genetic algorithm with Boltzmann selection shows the best optimization performance compared to the Tournament and Roulette Wheel selection. In the second part, an approach to redesign the vaned diffuser profile is introduced. Goal of the optimum design is to search the highest static pressure recovery coefficient and low solidity vaned diffuser. The result of the low solidity vaned diffuser optimum design confirms that the efficiency and optimization performance of the real-coded Boltzmann selection genetic algorithm outperforms the other selection methods. A comparison between the designed low solidity vaned diffuser and original vaned diffuser shows that the diffuser pump with the redesigned low solidity vaned diffuser has the higher static pressure recovery and improved total hydrodynamic performance. In addition, the smaller outlet diameter of designed vaned diffuser tends to a more compact size of diffuser pump compared to the original diffuser pump. The obtained results also demonstrate the real-coded Boltzmann selection genetic algorithm is a promising optimization algorithm for centrifugal pumps design.
