Through the convergent operation and divergent operation, individuals in PSO group and diverge in the search space/objective space.
This approach implements convergent evolutionary operations through bond and/or atom modifications on an initial library of molecules to acquire a maximally diverse subset of molecules.
In the VIA, the normal function ∥·∥ is defined as ∥v∥ = max|v(s|) for s ∈ S. Note that the VIA is convergent because the operation in Step (2) corresponds to a contraction mapping.
It is shown that the present method has rapid convergent rate, stable numerical operation and very high accuracy.
When we have two different operations which give convergent results in the overlapping domain, how do we tell whether what we have is an accidental convergence of the measured values of two unrelated quantities, or a unified concept measured by two different methods?
Though typically used for commercial operations, a few Convergent Science staff members were watching the World Series and arguing over who was a better pitcher.
Evolutionary biologists call this sort of process convergent evolution.
Critical to creative cognition and performance is both the generation of multiple alternative solutions in response to open-ended problems (divergent thinking) and a series of cognitive operations that converges on the correct or best possible answer (convergent thinking).
Undoubtedly, the assessment of the main processes taking place in such engines, especially combustion processes runs, in the point of view of the correct diagnosis and engine operation management, is convergent with present and future combustion engines design trends and with the world environment protection requirements.
For the examples discussed in the previous section, these series were convergent and thus well behaved under the operation of integration.
To improve the convergent speed of the proposed algorithm, a pruning operation is employed to compress the investigated region.
