New Optimization Technique Using Microcosm and Its Applications

It is useful to propose a new algorithm to analyze the complicated optimization problems by imitating the functions of living things. In this study, it is object to propose new optimization method using the microcosm which is model of natural ecosystem. The microcosm in this paper is constituted by considering a bone forming ecosystem that the interaction of each cell is clear and able to be regarded as ecosystem. By combining the proposed microcosm and GA, the optimization problems are analyzed. The problems to search a minimum point in the multiple-peak function, and to search the plane structure of the minimum value subjected to a load are analyzed. Moreover, the validity of design solution is checked for the several design conditions.
