The HyDE-DF algorithm developed by Dr. Fernando Lezama and also co-authored by Dr. Joao Soares, Mr. Ricardo Faia and Professor Zita Vale has been ranked third place in the 100-Digit Challenge competition with 93 points out of 100.
The 100-Digit Challenge for single objective, real-parameter optimization resembles the original version by Oxford’s Nick Trefethen since 2002 where contestants are asked to solve (optimize) ten state of the art optimization functions to an accuracy of 10 digits each. As in the original challenge, one point is awarded for each correct digit, so the maximum total score for all ten functions is again 100. CENERGETIC project is putting a great effort into developing excellent algorithms to be able to deal with the most difficult optimization functions in the state of the art. This will contribute to improving current smart grid solutions that need adequate optimization tools as stated in the project's goal. |
