The electromagnetic actuator design problem: An adapted interval global optimization algorithm using model reformulation and constraint propagation

摘要

This paper presents an adapted deterministic global optimization algorithm applied to the optimal design of electromagnetic actuators. The algorithm is based on interval arithmetic and constraint propagation. A new reformulation step is introduced in order to accelerate the convergence of the algorithm and increase the solutions accuracy. The tests have been performed according to three performance criteria: convergence, precision and number of iterations.
