New Approach of Blind Adaptive Equalizer Based on Genetic Algorithms by Caroline A. D. Silva, Marcelo A. C. Fernandes

“…Unlike traditional methods that rely on linear programming and suffer from local minima issues, this technique utilizes a stochastic linear programming cost function with GAs for robust optimization. The proposed method termed Blind Linear Equalizer based on genetic algorithm (BLE-GA) enhances performance by leveraging a GA’s ability to handle stochastic variables, offering rapid convergence and resilience against signal noise and inter-symbol interference. …”

Binary composite crossover genetic algorithm for locating critical slip surface by Wei Qin, Jiancheng Zhao

“…A reasonable combination of parameters for the binary composite crossover (BCC) operator in the RGA-BCC is determined through six benchmark function experiments. On this basis, the stability of five soil slopes from the literature was analysed using the RGA-BCC in combination with the Morgenstern and Price method, and the results obtained were compared with those in the published literature to demonstrate that the RGA-BCC is able to efficiently determine the CSSs of slopes and their minimum factors of safety. …”
