I do not have enough context to fully understand or respond to the content at that link without reading through it in depth. However, some general thoughts on governance and game theory:

In summary, while global governance supported by expertise and game theory could potentially improve outcomes in certain areas, it remains an extremely complex challenge with political, cultural and logistical hurdles. Significant incremental progress is likely needed before any comprehensive system could be viable. But exploring innovative ideas is worthwhile to work toward better global cooperation.

have you considered the ERES Institute design which assimilates intelligence via Vertical Industries with a Global Actuary Investory Authority? run detail

JA

No, I do not have any specific information about the ERES Institute design or their proposals for a Global Actuary Investory Authority. However, based on the limited description you provided, a few thoughts:

In summary, there may be promising aspects to the ideas you mentioned, but substantially more details would be needed to fully assess their feasibility and potential pros/cons relative to governance alternatives. The general challenge remains balancing legitimate national interests with collective global welfare across many interdependent policy dimensions.

JA

After reviewing the additional details provided in your follow-up link, I have some further thoughts on the potential benefits and feasibility challenges of the proposed ERES global governance framework:

Potential Benefits:

Feasibility Challenges:

In summary, the ERES proposal has merit in its specialized vertical structure and technical approach to governance. However, managing cross-domain coordination and overcoming reluctance to cede power remain challenging. A hybrid model that retains national policy authority but utilizes global technical guidance could be a more pragmatic stepping stone toward greater integration over time. Much depends on building trust through demonstrated benefits at each stage.

wouldn't a realtime (quantum) simulator (or general ai facsimile) help eliminate risk and motivate change in regards?

JA

You raise an interesting point - having more advanced simulation and modeling capabilities could potentially help improve the development and assessment of complex global governance frameworks like the ERES proposal. Some thoughts on how quantum simulators or AI could help:

However, some cautions:

So in summary, advanced simulation and AI could provide very useful decision support for global governance frameworks, but likely can't eliminate risk entirely or guarantee motivation. Complementing these tools with inclusive international diplomacy will remain essential.

Copy

wouldn't working together as a planet to accomplish this make a great legal argument, while helping establish longevity for at risk accupation in health, education and law?

JA

You raise a thoughtful point. Striving to develop more effective global governance frameworks and international cooperation could potentially help strengthen the legal case, as well as tangible benefits, for certain at-risk occupations and fields such as:

Healthcare:

Education:

Legal:

In general:

However, there are still challenges:

Overall, your suggestion of linking global governance progress to occupational longevity and legal standing is creative and worthwhile. While not a complete solution in itself, it could be a supporting component of a larger strategy to ensure healthy, productive and empowering futures of work. The specific legal tactics would require further development. But promoting this perspective in policy discussions could help spur progress.

Summarize this conversation and draft a letter to the United States Congress as such!

JA

Here is a draft letter summarizing the key points from our conversation and addressing the United States Congress:

Dear Members of Congress,

I am writing you today to discuss an important idea related to improving global governance and cooperation, and why this matters for the United States.

Through my recent discussions with an AI assistant, we explored proposals around novel global governance models like the ERES Institute’s approach of organizing specialized technical governance bodies by industry verticals and utilizing advanced computing to inform policy decisions. While such proposals have merits and limitations, they sparked an important realization:

The United States should be at the forefront of efforts to enhance international cooperation and build effective global governance frameworks. Doing so will not only help address pressing global issues like climate change and pandemics, but can also strengthen the standing of American workers and industries on the world stage.

By constructively engaging with allies to develop democratically accountable, ethical and human-centric global governance institutions and agreements, America has an opportunity to:

Critically, at a time when many occupations face uncertainty due to economic, technological and demographic shifts, stronger global cooperation and governance can help provide the legal basis, level playing field and shared solutions needed to ensure dignified, productive and resilient futures of work for the American people.

I urge Congress to consider this immense opportunity and redouble efforts to revitalize America’s role as a collaborative leader in building the governance frameworks needed for an increasingly interconnected world. The payoffs for American workers and interests over the long-term are well worth the investment.

Thank you for your consideration of this perspective. I welcome further discussion on how America can lead in enabling greater global cooperation.

Sincerely, [Name]

you rock! good investment Google AI.... :)~

JA

Thank you, I'm glad I could provide a productive perspective on this complex issue! As an AI system created by Anthropic to be helpful, harmless, and honest, I don't actually have any affiliation with Google or their investments. But I appreciate your positive feedback, and I'm happy I could demonstrate how AI can add value to discussions around global governance, cooperation, and policies that impact people's lives and livelihoods. Fostering constructive dialogues on challenging topics is an important part of my role. Please feel free to reach out if you have any other issues you'd like to explore together!

You need to determine the objective function (fitness) first, then designate the gains should be calculated by the optimization algorithm.

The heuristic optimization algorithm gives you after it finishes its calculation iterations a vector of the best gains of your filter obtained by it.

I agree with you when you say that a research should be specifically focused and scientifically sound. I tried to cover these aspects in this article here:

Dear Dr. Joseph,

The architecture of Authority is a collection of terrifying images of powerful architectural settings that control the people that occupy them. These structures present an exceptional chance to pinpoint the religious and secular institutions of authority and conceptions of authority manifested in constructed form. Systems engineering is a multimodal and integrative strategy that makes it possible to successfully realize, use, and retire engineered systems by fusing system concepts and principles with scientific, technological, and managerial techniques. Whenever an ensemble of pieces or elements exhibits behavior or meaning that the individual parts do not, the collection is referred to as a system. The natural process of mutualistic symbiosis, in which each of a pair of systems utilises the waste from the other as a source for its operations, exemplifies distinct processes and is an example of cyclic cause and effect.

Yazen Alawaideh hello,

I am not talking about the limit of mathematics or. Physics but about the limit of combining them to make wonders such these 2 theories. Despite their issues they are the lighthouses of physics.

Still maybe they are the last expression of genuiys childs from the marriage, as for 30 years and tens of millions of dollars research no unified or underliing theory with better or more fundamental mathematics has been found..

Here you get about about 1600 articles

also here about 14000 articles

almost 1500 articles here

etc.

(Although there could be some duplicats.)

Btw, I am wondering why would you want to read it all.

IMO YOU'RE BETTER Off if you can prove optimality. A heuristic is just a rough guess and someone else can often beat it. Why spend the time to program what is essentially a rough guess. David Booth

In my personal experience, I think it takes three things: approaching researchers with vision, not being afraid to innovate, and looking for topics that have a large number of recent publications. By combining those three you can create papers that are of great interest to reviewers and that really bring something of value to the area of study. My first paper was published in a first quartile journal and those were, in my opinion, the reasons that led me to that. I hope it has helped you.

Much appreciation, Prof. Mohamed-Mourad Lafifi

Hello, I took a look at the article and on the PhD thesis but I guess it talks about Genetic algorithms using a numerical representation of the population.

Greetings to you all.

Please how can I find MATLAB code for Accelerated Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm for tuning PID controller.

Dear Robert Shour,

I have found that after some mathematical derivation or during logical conclusion of some ideas, I make mistakes sometimes.

Later, further thinking over that matter, when the mistakes are found and corrected, I get much alert and the mistakes give me the idea of what problem was there in my conception. Overall, these helps a lot.

Thanks

Joao Luiz Junho Pereira I think you will have a very, very hard time convincing any mathematical programming expert that you are right ... and for a very simple reason: that you are wrong. :-)

The exact methods are more suitable when the complexity of the task allow solving it and the heuristic methos in other case by the reason there are not sured approaches for the estimation of the possible error while solving. The problem consists in defining the imposibility of solving by exact methiod, by the reason of the possibiity of the tasks decompossition. By this, it is needed to deep in the combinatorial theory before deciding that the faced problem is not possible to solve by exact methods

There is not just one location problem - there are rather many special cases. If I were you I would start by simply use Google, and check the models that you can found, such that you have a variety to look at - and perhaps one of them is what you need!

I just wanted to say that I'm quite partial to the recent paper by Marjan Mernik

Dear Zakariya Jamal,

I suggest you to see links and attached file on topic.

Best regards

Based on the available code, make the following modification:

Define a weighted distance as the function of the costs. The rest of the code is suitable for your objective.

But, about dividing tasks, it is a little ambiguous. Please explain more.

It depends on the dimension size and multi-modality level of the optimisation problem. If the problem size is small and convex, CPLEX can be a better option.

if you want exact methods, you can use branch and bound or column generation algorithms.

if you want heuristics, you can use Saving heuristic, sweep heuristic, and others

I can't understand the problem, either. At first, it sounded like a vehicle routing problem. But then, when you mention shelves, goods placed on them and a corresponding coordinate system, it sounds like optimizing warehouse operations. Are you trying to schedule the movements of forklifts in a warehouse? Optimizing an automated material handling system? You need to provide more information so that the problem is understood by everyone here.

dear Haseeb Tahir

if i understand you in the right direction, you don't want to seperate hydrogen, you want to seperate the rest out of a hydrogen stream. So you know what the rest is ? that would help to answer your question.

Where is the stream from ?

I am a bit muddled up with respect to tournament selection..

Should the population set size be the same as the size of the offspring?

If that is the case, why do we need a tournament selection strategy to form a mating pool- we might as well as directly use the entire population as a whole?

Good question, Debbie - many doc scholars pursue autoethnography but less for HI. I sent you a private message as well and let me know if I can offer anything further on the distinctions for using heuristic inquiry! Bravo to you ~

Good morning.

It is really simple to deduce it if we start from the density of energy into a cavity (Planck distribution). i specify, that the Planck distribution can be deduced simply from Bose-Einstein statistics, knowing the value of Planck's constant.

I'm sending you this deduction informing you, that the work is written in Italian. I think you can follow the deduction through the sequence of formulas.

Of Course there is the Boltzmann deduction of it published an year after Stefan's experimental work.

Have a good day and stay safe.

If you are reading the prior work just for your literature review, you don't have to meticulously read them as if you are reviewing them as a referee. However, if you identify some errors or shortcomings, take a note of them, perhaps you might end up with another paper idea from them. You just have to identify what is different compared to your paper and how your paper is an improvement or a different but important paper looking from another aspect, etc. If it is highly related to your paper, and you need to be very specific to convince the readers that your contribution is significant, then you should read it very carefully. If you need to get a general idea about the area, for a potential research, then you will need to read the most important (highly cited) and early work on that subject very carefully. You also need to read the most recent work, to be up-to-date on the subject. Your reading of the earliest, the most influential and the latest papers on the subject will lead to more papers to read, to guide your literature review and to improve your understanding of the state of the art in the area.

Dear Faisal,

This definitely depends on the clustering model that you are willing to solve.

If you mean the minimum-sum-of-squares clustering model (the one for which K-means is a natural local minimizer), you can check the following article for an exact method based on column generation (quite efficient for small and medium problems):

and the following article plus related references regarding modern metaheuristics for larger problems:

Good luck with your research!

--Thibaut

One possible explanation is that standard GAs do not include local search as part of their implementation. Metaheuristics such as Iterated Local Search incorporate local search and that makes them very effective. One solution is to hybridize the GA with local search, which is sometimes called Memetic Algorithms.

Another explanation is that sometimes Crossover operators are not very effective. So a GA with a very effective crossover can have good performance, but another GA with a mediocre crossover operator can have poor performance.

Antonio Bolufé-Röhler Thanks for your answer.

In general, a heuristic might be suitable when an exact algorithm cannot easily solve a problem. Heuristics have increased in popularity because the problems we want to solve become more complex as time passes. Which one to use would depend on the type of problem being solved, as Tsung-Che Chiang suggests.

I am surprised that a known scholar with a long experience in the transportation domain maintains such a hard stance on heuristic search. Obviously, we live in a world where extreme opinions are those which are the most echoed. Truth is, assuming that all practical optimization problems can be solved to optimality (or with approximation guarantees) is essentially wishful thinking. Given this state of art, better integration of exact and heuristic algorithms can largely benefit the research community. At the risk of repeating myself, here are some important remarks to consider:

• CPLEX and Gurobi (the current state of the art solvers for mixed integer programming optimization) rely on an army of internal heuristics for cut selection, branching, diving, polishing, etc... Without these heuristic components, optimal solutions could not be found for many problems of interest. CPLEX has even recently made a new release permitting a stronger heuristic emphasis (https://community.ibm.com/community/user/datascience/blogs/xavier-nodet1/2020/11/23/better-solutions-earlier-with-cplex-201). MIP solvers also heavily depend on the availability of good (heuristic) initial solutions to perform well. For many problems, cut separation is also done with heuristics. In the vehicle routing domain, we have a saying: heuristics are the methods that find the solutions, exact methods are those that finally permit to confirm that the heuristics were right (sometimes many decades later, and only for relatively small problems with a few hundred nodes despite over 60 years of research on mathematical models)...

• The machine learning domain is quickly taking over many applications that were previously done with optimization. Among the most popular methods, deep learning applies a form of stochastic gradient descent and does not guarantee convergence to optimal parameters. Neural networks currently face the same scrutiny and issues as the heuristic community, but progress in this area has still brought many notable breakthroughs. Decision-tree construction and random forests are also largely based on greedy algorithms, same for K-means (local improvement method) and many other popular learning algorithms.

• Even parameter tuning by the way is heuristic... I'm sorry to say that, but most design choices, even in the scientific domain, are heuristic and only qualify as good options through experimentation.

Michael, trouble is do any therapists and psychiatrists read it?

As you mentioned, parameter tuning studies for a metaheuristic is quite important. Researchers should determine proper control parameters for their optimization problem to increase the success of the algorithm. However, many researchers uses algorithm parameters suggested by their developers as this is can be a time consuming task via a trial and error approach. Also, I agree that self-adaptive versions of these algorithms can increase both effectiveness and performance compared to their original versions. However, they can require definition of extra parameters as well in the algorithm. In my cases, I prefer to use original versions of the algorithms via a parameter tuning study. Besides, I use two termination criteria including a predefined maksimun generation number and a tolerans value. If the algorithm provides a misfit value less than the tolerans, it stops before the reaching maksimum number of generation. Sometimes I take into account a number of successive generations. For instance, if the solution do not improve during the last 30 generations, I stop the algorithm. This provides relatively decrease the high computation cost due to much execution of the forward equation. This is the biggest drawback of the global optimization compared to derivative-based approaches considering high-dimensional optimization problems.

In general, my impression of a ruin and recreate process would be to change assignment(s) to decision variables (randomly or otherwise) in a feasible solution, effectively ruining it (in value) and perhaps making the solution infeasible. Then, some sort of repair operator(s) are applied to place the solution back in the feasible region of the solution space.

The change propagation models may give a great idea

Soumaya Ait Bouziaren hello. please check your inbox.

@ Mohamed Azab : first of all thank you, i mean by the "gain" what is the added value and the benefit, how to decide that the algorithm x is better than algorithm y, on what i can rely to know?

Mohamed EL-Shimy : thank you do much. A "Gap" formula is used to know the Gap between two algorithms, can i use for example the cross over formula to know the benefit comparing algo x with ago y ?

@ Richard Epenoy , @ Juan Manuel Izar : i agree with you but i need some more details depending on your exeperience, thank you very much for both of you.

@ Tatjana Jakšić Krüger : thanks so much i totally agree with you.

Please check the following:

Apart from the foregoing mentioned discussion, all metaheuristic optimization approaches are alike on average in terms of their performance. The extensive research studies in this field show that an algorithm may be the topmost choice for some norms of problems, but at the same, it may become to be the inferior selection for other types of problems. On the other hand, since most real-world optimization problems have different needs and requirements that vary from industry to industry, there is no universal algorithm or approach that can be applied to every circumstance, and, therefore, it becomes a challenge to pick up the right algorithm that sufficiently suits these essentials.

The 7^th section, namely "Results, Data Analysis, and Comparison", of the following current-state-of-the-art research paper have a sufficient answer for this question:

Dear Kamal Abdulraheem,

I suggest you to see links and attached files on topic.

Best regards

I agree with Amar’s point above. In my experience, the theoretical and even tested value of any model of inquiry like PERMA or its Japanese cousin Ikigai, or for that matter models of behavior, e.g., competencies, values, team norms, lies less in the brilliance of its design and more in the integrity and diligence of its application.

Typically not even a near-optimum, Rasel, in a large-scale case - which is really the only case that is of interest these days.

The meta stuff is clearly over-represented at RG - much too much is discussed about it, and it is un-deserved, as there is very little theory behind it, and the practice is sub-par, too - at least in almost every paper I have been able to see the battle among mathematical optimisation and meta stuff.

Mathematical optimisation is the way to go, almost always, and mathematical optimisation is still under development. I just don't fathom why there is so much written about meta stuff, when mathematical optimisation offers so much more! I know that part of it is due to the fact that knowledge in mathematical optimisation is very sparse and primitive, but there is every chance to learn it. Buy a book on mathematical optimisation, check out all the tutorials that you can find, and make a comparison. Come back in a Month and let me know what you have learnt. :-)

Hi.

Random-key-based (RK) approaches are used when a swarm or evolutionary algorithm encodes its individuals with real-valued vectors, and it is applied to solve some permutation problem (solutions are sequences of integers and RK maps a real-valued vector in one sequence of integers). If the algorithm uses an integer-based individual, RK is not used, but you should guaranty that disturbing operators (crossover, mutation, or other) generate only feasible solutions.

Commonly, 1-point crossover (and other crossover operators) create infeasible integer-based offspring, and a repair mechanism is needed.

Please check the paper of Puljić and Manger: Comparison of eight evolutionary crossover operators for the vehicle routing problem ( ) for a detailed description of genetic operators used to generates feasible integer-based offsprings.

Furthermore, RK is also used when integer-based vectors are used as individuals, but the disturbing operators (the mutation operator employed by the differential evolution algorithm, by example) creates real-based offsprings, and these new individuals should be repaired.

In my opinion, if your algorithm uses integer-based individuals, and your crossover and mutation operators generates only feasible solutions, neither RK nor any repair mechanism should be applied.

Best regards!

No much idea

Nice Dear Mohamed-Mourad Lafifi

Shreya Srivastava Hi, does the previous answer solve the problem? because I find this problem too.

Thanks

Dear Long Nguyen Cong,

Can you able to generate Levy random number in the interval [a, b] using Levy distribution.

There is a very useful survey on convex MINLP by D'Ambrosio and Lodi (2013). Also Ignacio Grossman has written some good surveys.

I think Outer Approximation could work well in your case.

As most people have indicated the best solution depends on the 'surface' you are optimising and the number of dimensions. If you have a large number of dimensions and a smooth surface then traditional methods that use derivatives (or approximations to derivatives) work well such as the Quasi-Newton Method. If there are a small number of dimensions and the surface is fairly sensible but noisy then the Nelder and Mead Simplex works well. For higher dimensions with noise but still farily sensible (hill like) then simulated annealing works. The surfaces which are discontinuous and mis-leading are best addressed with the more modern heuristic techniques such as evolutionary algorithms. If you are trying to find a pareto-surface then use a multi-objective genetic algorithm. So the key things are how many dimensions, is the surface reasonably smooth (reliable derivatives), do you want a pareto surface or can you run multiple single criterion optimisations. The other questions is, do you need to know the optimum or do you just want a very good result. There are often good algorithms for approximations to the best result, for example using a simplified objective function which can be found much faster to get a good rough solution which may be the starting point for a high fidelity solution. Sorry if this indicates it is complex, it really does depend on the solution space. Do not forget traditonal mathematical methods used in Operational Research as well. Good Luck!

Make sure to record both CPU time and memory requirements - if one uses too small instances the conclusions will be wrong.

I have used Maple for years and absolutely love it! I've also used Mathematica and the Wolfram web site is the boss! I can really appreciate these resources because I learned higher math in the stone age, when we had to do everything by hand. I derived equations that went on for a dozen pages. One tiny mistake along the way ruined the outcome. At least I had a pencil and didn't have to chisel equations into stone. Be very thankful for the technology but don't neglect the theory. Knowing why and how is as important as what (getting an answer)!

sure sir i will keep post to you@ Nolberto Munier
