'Fabio Rapallo'] This paper addresses the challenging task of computing multiple roots of a system of nonlinear equations. A repulsion algorithm that invokes the Nelder-Mead (N-M) local search method and uses a penalty-type merit function based on the error function, known as ‘erf’, is presented. In the N-M algorithm…

Linear programming (LP) problems are commonly used in analysis and resource allocation, frequently surfacing as approximations to more difficult problems. Existing approaches to LP have been dominated by a small group of methods, and randomized algorithms have not enjoyed popularity in practice. This paper introduces a…

This paper presents a new simplex-type algorithm for Linear Programming with the following two main characteristics: (i) the algorithm computes basic solutions which are neither primal or dual feasible, nor monotonically improving and (ii) the sequence of these basic solutions is connected with a sequence of…

'Yuri Shalom de Freitas Bezerra' 'Hugo Alexandre Dantas do Nascimento' 'Liacir dos Santos Lucena' 'Joaquim Elias de Freitas' 'Seyedali Mirjalili'] The FWI is formulated as a nonlinear optimization problem that traditionally uses local (derivative-based) minimization to find the scalar field of properties that best…

'Jahangir Alam SM' 'Guillermo Villanueva'] As a high performance-cost ratio solution for differential pressure measurement, piezo-resistive differential pressure sensors are widely used in engineering processes. However, their performance is severely affected by the environmental temperature and the static pressure…

This paper proposes a streamlined form of simplex method which provides some great benefits over traditional simplex method. For instance, it does not need any kind of artificial variables or artificial constraints; it could start with any feasible or infeasible basis of an LP. This method follows the same pivoting…

Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) is one of the most powerful linear algebra tools, which has found application in various areas of data analysis, including computational biology. Despite numerous optimization methods devised for NMF, our comprehension of the inherent topological structure within factorizable…

Animal nutritionists seek to understand how animals regulate the intake and balance of multiple nutrients, yet the design and analysis of such experiments are often limited by how nutrient spaces are represented. The geometric framework for nutrition (GFN) provides a powerful means to visualize nutrient interactions…

Neuronal connectivity has been characterized at various scales and with respect to various structural aspects. In models of connectivity, it has so far remained difficult to match all of them at once, in particular the higher-order structure appears to be elusive. Here we introduce a new type of graph model that…

Model development is essential to gain a mathematical understanding of the underlying phenomena in systems biology. In most models, it is typically hard to estimate the values of the biophysical/phenomenological parameters that characterize the model. The parameters are estimated by minimizing a function that reduces a…

We present the Toroidal Search Algorithm (TSA), a novel population-based metaheuristic optimization method inspired by the topology of a torus. Conventional metaheuristics frequently suffer from boundary stagnation, a phenomenon that severely degrades performance in bounded and high-dimensional search spaces. TSA…
