Meta-heuristic algorithms are problem-solving methods which try to find good-enough
solutions to very hard optimization problems, at a reasonable computation time, where …

This article presents a summary of applications of chaos and fractals in robotics. Firstly,
basic concepts of deterministic chaos and fractals are discussed. Then, fundamental tools of …

This paper investigates the operation of a hybrid power system through a novel fuzzy control
scheme. The hybrid power system employs various autonomous generation systems like …

Fractional-order PID (FOPID) controller is a generalization of traditional PID controller using
fractional calculus. Compared to the traditional PID controller, in FOPID controller, the order …

A novel chaotic improved imperialist competitive algorithm (CICA) is presented for global
optimization. The ICA is a new meta-heuristic optimization developed based on a socio …

The aim of this paper is to propose and compare different one-dimensional maps as chaotic
search patterns in the constraint nonlinear optimization problems. For this purpose, about 10 …

Pseudorandom numbers are widely used in information encryption, spread spectrum
communication and other science and technology and engineering fields. Because chaos is …

In this paper, a fractional order (FO) PIλDμ controller is designed to take care of various
contradictory objective functions for an automatic voltage regulator (AVR) system. An …

Fractional-order proportional-integral-derivative (FOPID) controllers are designed for load-
frequency control (LFC) of two interconnected power systems. Conflicting time-domain …

Bat swarm optimisation (BSO) is a novel heuristic optimisation algorithm that is being used
for solving different global optimisation problems. The paramount problem in BSO is that it …
