Published: August 2017

In this paper, a modified BFGS algorithm is proposed for unconstrained optimization. The proposed algorithm has the following properties: (i) a nonmonotone line search technique is used to obtain the step size [Formula: see text] to improve the effectiveness of the algorithm; (ii) the algorithm possesses not only global convergence but also superlinear convergence for generally convex functions; (iii) the algorithm produces better numerical results than those of the normal BFGS method.

The multi-parameter and nonlinear characteristics of the Smith Watson Topper (SWT) equation present considerable challenges for predicting the fatigue life of 2024-T3 clad Al alloy. To overcome these challenges, a novel model integrating traditional fatigue analysis methods with machine learning algorithms is introduced. An improved SWT fatigue life prediction equation is developed by incorporating key factors such as the mean stress effect, stress concentration factor, and surface roughness coefficient.

We consider a numerical framework tailored to identifying optimal parameters in the context of modelling disease propagation. Our focus is on understanding the behaviour of optimisation algorithms for such problems, where the dynamics are described by a system of ordinary differential equations associated with the epidemiological SIRD model. Applying an optimise-then-discretise approach, we examine properties of the solution operator and determine existence of optimal parameters for the problem considered.

The classification of Doppler ultrasound images plays an important role in the diagnosis of pregnancy. However, it is a challenging problem that suffers from a variable length of these images with a dimension gap between them. In this study, we propose a latent representation weights learning method (LRWL) for pregnancy prediction using Doppler ultrasound images.

In the field of finding ground and excited states, where quantum computation holds significant promise, using a variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) is a typical approach. However, the success of this approach is vulnerable to two factors: classical optimization for the ansätz parameters and noise from quantum devices. To address these challenges, we adopted particle swarm optimization (PSO) based on swarm intelligence for VQE and presented its performance.

We present quad-layered structural color filters producing transmissive red (R), green (G), and blue (B) colors with high brightness and high purity, where thicknesses of layers for the RGB colors are optimized by using a L-BFGS-B algorithm. To evaluate the performance of the proposed structural color filters, computer-based inverse designs based on meta-heuristic and reinforcement learning algorithms are employed, where the optical properties obtained from the inverse designs are comparable to those shown in our proposed design. A peak separation phenomenon in dual cavities is applied to make a spectral response rectangular, and also a resonance order is optimally tailored to maximize the transmittance at a resonant wavelength with the suppression of undesired higher-order resonances at the same time for achieving pure colors.
