Oa. Mohammed et al., UTILIZING HOPFIELD NEURAL NETWORKS AND AN IMPROVED SIMULATED ANNEALING PROCEDURE FOR DESIGN OPTIMIZATION OF ELECTROMAGNETIC DEVICES, IEEE transactions on magnetics, 29(6), 1993, pp. 2404-2406
A new method for the design optimization of electromagnetic devices is
presented. Improved Simulated Annealing (SA) is used along with the H
opfield neural network (HN) to optimize a solution obtained from a tra
ined multilayered perceptron (MLP). This results in an overall increas
e in the speed of optimization. Results are presented for two examples
which show the effectiveness of the proposed method in obtaining a ne
ar optimal solution.
