mathematical programming based on the optimization techniques such as lambda-iteration method‚ gradient method‚ and dynamic programming method‚ etc. However many mathematical assumptions such as convex‚ quadratic‚ differentiable and linear objectives and constraints are required to simplify the problem. The practical ED problem with ramp rate limits‚ prohibited operating zones‚ valvepoint effects and multi-fuel options is represented as a non-smooth or nonconvex optimization problem with equality and

Recent developments in optimization techniques that deals in finding the solution of combinatorial optimization problems has provided engineering designers new capabilities. These new optimization algorithms are called metaheuristic techniques and they use nature as a source of inspiration to develop new numerical optimization procedures. It is shown in the literature that these techniques are robust and efficient and their performance is not affected by the complexity of optimization problems. In last

SEO Is Not Complicated‚ It Is Common Sense SEO‚ which stands for Search Engine Optimization‚ has been tagged in the past as a dark art and is still being perceived to be a very difficult and highly complex task to behold. This mindset or should I say perception‚ has led many people to believe that they can never learn or fully get acquainted with the intrinsic modus operandi of the subject matter. This piece of work is aimed at demystifying the ‘too hard’ mentality of the countless people out
