The Gene-pool Optimal Mixing Evolutionary Algorithm (GOMEA) is a model-based EA framework that has been shown to perform well in several domains, including Genetic Programming (GP). Differently from traditional EAs where variation acts blindly, GOMEA learns a model of interdepend ...
A general framework is given for applying the Newton–Raphson method to solve power flow problems, using power and current-mismatch functions in polar, Cartesian coordinates and complex form. These two mismatch functions and three coordinates, result in six possible ways to apply ...
In this paper, we study four equivalent mathematical formulations of the Optimal Power Flow (OPF) problem and their impacts on the performance of solution methods. We show how four mathematical formulations of the OPF problem can be obtained by rewriting equality constraints give ...
In this paper, we propose a fast linear power flow method using a constant impedance load model to simulate both the entire Low Voltage (LV) and Medium Voltage (MV) networks in a single simulation. Accuracy and efficiency of this linear approach are validated by comparing it with ...
The importance and potential of Gray-Box Optimization (GBO) with evolutionary algorithms is becoming increasingly clear lately both for benchmark and real-world problems. We consider the GBO setting where partial evaluations are possible, meaning that sub-functions of the evaluat ...
Purpose: The aim of this study is to establish the first step toward a novel and highly individualized three-dimensional (3D) dose distribution reconstruction method, based on CT scans and organ delineations of recently treated patients. Specifically, the feasibility of automatic ...
The recently introduced Gene-pool Optimal Mixing Evolutionary Algorithm for Genetic Programming (GP-GOMEA) has been shown to find much smaller solutions of equally high quality compared to other state-of-the-art GP approaches. This is an interesting aspect as small solutions bett ...
We address the problemof high-dose-rate brachytherapy treatment planning for prostate cancer. The problem involves determining a treatment plan consisting of the so-called dwell times that a radiation source resides at different positions inside the patient such that the prostate ...
The recently introduced Gene-pool Optimal Mixing Evolutionary Algorithm (GOMEA) has been shown to be among the state-of-the-art for solving discrete optimization problems. Key to the success of GOMEA is its ability to efficiently exploit the linkage structure of a problem. Here, ...
The recently introduced Multi-Objective Gene-pool Optimal Mixing Evolutionary Algorithm (MO-GOMEA) exhibits excellent scalability in solving a wide range of challenging discrete multi-objective optimization problems. In this paper, we address scalability issues in solving multi-o ...
This paper concerns networks of precedence constraints between tasks with random durations, known as stochastic task networks, often used to model uncertainty in real-world applications. In some applications, we must associate tasks with reliable start-times from which realized s ...

Two mismatch functions (power or current) and three coordinates (polar, Cartesian and complex form) result in six versions of the Newton–Raphson method for the solution of power flow problems. In this paper, five new versions of the Newton power flow method develope ...
The Gene-pool Optimal Mixing Evolutionary Algorithm (GOMEA) is a recently introduced model-based EA that has been shown to be capable of outperforming state-of-the-art alternative EAs in terms of scalability when solving discrete optimization problems. One of the key aspects of G ...

We generalise a recently proposed concurrent flexibility metric to overcome some of its shortcomings. We show that these shortcomings can be removed if one selects an optimal subset of variables for which the concurrent flexibility is determined. The flexibility of the remaining ...
The Metis research project aims at supporting maritime safety and security by facilitating continuous monitoring of vessels in national coastal waters and prevention of phenomena, such as vessel collisions, environmental hazard, or detection of malicious intents, such as smugglin ...
We discuss two flexibility metrics for Simple Temporal Networks (STNs): the so-called naive flexibility metric based on the difference between earliest and latest starting times of temporal variables, and a recently proposed concurrent flexibility metric. We establish an interest ...
