Oa. Mohammed et Gf. Uler, A HYBRID TECHNIQUE FOR THE OPTIMAL-DESIGN OF ELECTROMAGNETIC DEVICES USING DIRECT SEARCH AND GENETIC ALGORITHMS, IEEE transactions on magnetics, 33(2), 1997, pp. 1931-1934
Genetic algorithms (GAs) have been successfully applied to optimizatio
n problems in a variety of applications in electromagnetics, In this p
aper, GAs are used along with a gradient-based direct search technique
. The proposed hybrid optimization procedure was found to be efficient
in most of the application implemented The strengths of both techniqu
es are used at different stages of the search. A magnetizer ex-ample i
s presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed technique.
