The state-of-the-art algorithm uses an opposition-based improvement method (IOBL). Computational experiments show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the state-of-the-art algorithm.

Some of the main motivations were to understand the pattern of such issues and how to obtain the solution to them. With the help of applied mathematics, these problems can be converted or modeled by nonlinear expressions with similar properties. Then, the required solution can be obtained by means of iterative techniques. In this manuscript, we propose a new iterative scheme for computing multiple roots (without prior knowledge of multiplicity m) based on multiplicative calculus rather than standard calculus. The structure of our scheme stands on the well-known Schröder method and also retains the same convergence order. Some numerical examples are tested to find the roots of nonlinear equations, and results are found to be competent compared with ordinary derivative methods. Finally, the new scheme is also analyzed by the basin of attractions that also supports the theoretical aspects.","PeriodicalId":53224,"journal":{"name":"Mathematical & Computational Applications","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45963961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research details a new estimation of the distribution algorithm coupled with a radial probability function from hydrogen. Continuous values are used in the solution representation, and every value indicates, in a hydrogen atom, the distance between the electron and the core. The key point is to exploit the radial probability distribution to construct offspring and to tackle the drawbacks of the estimation of distribution algorithms. Various instances and numerical experiments are presented to illustrate and validate this novel research.

However, generating such PO solutions requires many function evaluations for reliability analysis, thereby increasing the computational cost. In this paper, a single-loop multi-objective reliability-based design optimization formulation is proposed that approximates reliability analysis using Karush-Kuhn Tucker (KKT) optimality conditions. Further, chaos control theory is used for updating the point that is estimated through KKT conditions for avoiding any convergence issues. In order to generate the reliable point in the feasible region, the proposed formulation also incorporates the shifting vector approach. The proposed MORBDO formulation is solved using differential evolution (DE) that uses a heuristic convergence parameter based on hypervolume indicator for performing different mutation operators. DE incorporating the proposed formulation is tested on two mathematical and one engineering examples. The results demonstrate the generation of a better set of reliable PO solutions using the proposed method over the double-loop variant of multi-objective DE. Moreover, the proposed method requires 6×–377× less functional evaluations than the double-loop-based DE.","PeriodicalId":53224,"journal":{"name":"Mathematical & Computational Applications","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48140385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hence, several distributions have been used in this field to perform statistical analyses and make inferences. In this study, we develop the arctan power (AP) distribution and illustrate its application using biomedical data. The distribution is flexible in the sense that its probability density function exhibits characteristics such as left-skewedness, right-skewedness, and J and reversed-J shapes. The characteristic of the corresponding hazard rate function also suggests that the distribution is capable of modeling data with monotonic and non-monotonic failure rates. A bivariate extension of the AP distribution is also created to model the interdependence of two random variables or pairs of data. The application reveals that the AP distribution provides a better fit to the biomedical data than other existing distributions. The parameters of the distribution can also be fairly accurately estimated using a Bayesian approach, which is also elaborated. To end the study, the quantile and modal regression models based on the AP distribution provided better fits to the biomedical data than other existing regression models.","PeriodicalId":53224,"journal":{"name":"Mathematical & Computational Applications","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42165108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The traditional approach involves a precise mathematical model, which has advantages and disadvantages. For example, mathematical representations can provide numerical and quantitative results to users and researchers. Thus, it is possible to explain and understand the calibration results. However, information about the end-effector, such as the position attached to the robot and its dimensions, is not considered in the calibration process. If there is no CAD model, additional calibration is required for accurate manipulation, especially for a handmade end-effector. A neural network-based method is used as the solution to this problem. By training a neural network model using data created via the attached end-effector, additional calibration can be avoided. Moreover, it is not necessary to develop a precise and complex mathematical model. However, it is difficult to provide quantitative information because a neural network is a black box. Hence, a method with both advantages is proposed in this study. A mathematical model was developed and optimized using the data created by the attached end-effector. To acquire accurate data and evaluate the calibration results, a tablet computer was utilized.

The underlying PDEs are reshaped into a set of ordinary differential equations employing precise transformation. They are addressed numerically using the successive linearization method, which is an efficient systematic process. The main goal of this study is to compare the solutions obtained using the successive linearization method to solve the velocity and temperature equations in the presence of m changes, thereby demonstrating its accuracy and suitability for solving nonlinear differential equations. For comparison, tables containing the results are presented. This contrast is significant because it demonstrates the accuracy with which a set of nonlinear differential equations can be solved using the successive linearization method.

The energy equation is formulated using the Cattaneo–Christov heat flux, non-linear thermal radiation, and heat sink/source. The leading equations are non-dimensionalized by employing the suitable transformations, and the numerical results are achieved by using the MATLAB bvp4c technique. The fluctuations of fluid flow and heat transfer on porosity, Forchheimer number, radiation, suction/injection, velocity slip, and nanoparticle volume fraction are investigated. Furthermore, the local skin friction coefficient (SFC), and local Nusselt number (LNN) are also addressed. Compared to previously reported studies, our computational results exactly coincided with the outcomes of the previous reports. We noticed that the Forchheimer number, suction/injection, slip, and nanoparticle volume fraction factors slow the velocity profile. We also noted that with improving rates of thermal radiation and convective heating, the heat transfer gradient decreases. The 40% presence of the Hartmann number leads to improved drag force by 14% and heat transfer gradient by 0.5%. The 20% presence of nanoparticle volume fraction leads to a decrement in heat transfer gradient for 21% of Ag nanoparticles and 18% of Al2O3 nanoparticles.","PeriodicalId":53224,"journal":{"name":"Mathematical & Computational Applications","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46212273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
