Minimum Void Ratio Model Established from Tailings and Determination of Optimal Void Ratio by Shibo Li, Hao Liang, Hao Li, Jianquan Ma, Bin Li

“…Calibrations of the model using 168 groups of tests (22 kinds of grain size ratios with 7-9 kinds of fine contents) show two parameters that are fitting for power function, and the exponent values increase with the dominant grain size expanded. Besides, the exponent values are related to the equivalent grain size ratio, dominant grain size, and shape characteristics. …”

Multiobjective Memetic Estimation of Distribution Algorithm Based on an Incremental Tournament Local Searcher by Kaifeng Yang, Li Mu, Dongdong Yang, Feng Zou, Lei Wang, Qiaoyong Jiang

“…Hereby, an incremental tournament local searcher is designed to exploit local information efficiently and accelerate convergence to the true Pareto-optimal front. Besides, since ε-dominance is a strategy that can make multiobjective algorithm gain well distributed solutions and has low computational complexity, ε-dominance and the incremental tournament local searcher are combined here. …”
