We have developed and implemented a tabu search heuristic (TS) to determine the best energy minimum for oligopeptides. Our test molecule was Met-enkephalin, a pentapetide that over the years has been used as a validation model for many global optimizers. The test potential energy function was ECEPP/
Tabu Search (TS) is a stochastic global optimization procedure which proved efficient to solve various combinatorial optimization problems. However, very few works deal with its application to global minimization of functions depending on continuous variables. The aim of this paper is to propose an
## Abstract Sparsity features of simultaneous analysis and design (SAND) formulations are studied and exploited for optimization of largeβscale truss structures. Three formulations are described and implemented with an existing analysis code. SAND formulations have large number of variables; howeve
