Abstract:In order to provide a general purpose method to search optimum solution for complex constrained engineering problems without explicit system model, a hybrid optimization strategy based on artificial neural networks (ANNs) and genetic algorithms (GAs) is proposed in this paper. This strategy combines the strong nonlinearity mapping abilities of ANNs and effective and robust evolutionary searching ability of GAs. Firstly, ANNs are utilized to model the un-known system using inputs and outputs of system. Then the… Show more
