We study nonstationary iterative methods for solving preconditioned systems arising from discretizations of the convection-diffusion equation. The preconditioners arise from Gauss-Seidel methods applied to the original system. It is shown that the performance of the iterative solvers is affected by

We present two time-inhomogeneous search processes for finding the optimal Bernoulli parameters, where the performance measure cannot be evaluated exactly but must be estimated through Monte Carlo simulation. At each iteration, two neighbouring alternatives are compared and the one that appears to b

In the present paper, a quasi-analytic method for solving structural optimization problems has been developed by co-ordinated use of mathematical transformations, high-quality approximation and a twolevel approximation strategy. The method which has the advantages of both generality in applications

The success of modern heuristics (Simulated Annealing (S.A.), Tabu Search, Genetic Algorithms, . . . ) in solving classical combinatorial optimization problems has drawn the attention of the research community in multicriteria methods. In fact, for large-scale problems, the simultaneous difficultie

A regional genetic algorithm (R-GA) is used for the discrete optimal design of truss structures. The chromosomes are selected from a sub-region centred on the continuous optimum. This approach replaces genetic rebirth as previously proposed by other authors, thereby signiÿcantly reducing computation
