Pi Fractions for Generating Uniformly Distributed Sampling Points in Global Search and Optimization Algorithms
Richard A. Formato
Pi Fractions are used to create deterministic uniformly distributed pseudorandom decision space sample points for a global search and optimization algorithm. These fractions appear…
Dipole-Loaded Monopole Optimized Using VSO, v.3
Richard A. Formato
A dipole-loaded monopole antenna is optimized for uniform hemispherical coverage using VSO, a new global search design and optimization algorithm. The antenna's performance is comp…
Dynamic Threshold Optimization - A New Approach?
Richard A. Formato
Dynamic Threshold Optimization (DTO) adaptively "compresses" the decision space (DS) in a global search and optimization problem by bounding the objective function from below. This…
UWB Array Design Using Variable Zo Technology and Central Force Optimization
Richard A. Formato
This note applies Variable Zo technology to the design of an Ultra Wideband (UWB) Yagi-Uda array optimized using Central Force Optimization. Variable Zo is a novel and proprietary…
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…
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…
