A novel methodology for antenna design and optimization: Variable Zo
Richard A. Formato
This paper describes "Variable Zo," a novel and proprietary approach to antenna design and optimization. The new methodology is illustrated by applying it to the design of a resist…
Issues in Antenna Optimization - A Monopole Case Study
Richard A. Formato
A typical antenna optimization design problem is presented, and various issues involved in the design process are discussed. Defining a suitable objective function is a central que…
On the Utility of Directional Information for Repositioning Errant Probes in Central Force Optimization
Richard A. Formato
Central Force Optimization is a global search and optimization algorithm that searches a decision space by flying "probes" whose trajectories are deterministically computed using t…
Parameter-Free Deterministic Global Search with Central Force Optimization
Richard A. Formato
This note describes a parameter-free implementation of Central Force Optimization for deterministic multidimensional search and optimization. The user supplies only one input: the…
Central Force Optimization Applied to the PBM Suite of Antenna Benchmarks
Richard A. Formato
Central Force Optimization (CFO) is a new nature-inspired deterministic multi-dimensional search and optimization metaheuristic based on the metaphor of gravitational kinematics. C…
Comparative Results: Group Search Optimizer and Central Force Optimization
Richard A. Formato
This note compares the performance of two multidimensional search and optimization algorithms: Group Search Optimizer and Central Force Optimization. GSO is a new state-of-the-art…
