DOI: 10.1016/j.finel.2017.03.005
Abstract: Abstract This paper proposes the introduction of a connectivity constraint in the Bi-directional Evolutionary Structural Optimisation (BESO) method, which avoids the possibility of arriving at highly non-optimal local optima. By developing a constraint that looks… read more here.
