A vector wind driven optimization algorithm for multi-objective optimizations of electromagnetic devices.

Wind driven optimization is a new entrant to evolutionary algorithms, and has been applied successfully to solve different engineering single objective (scalar) design problems. However, lukewarm efforts have been devoted to develop a vector optimizer using a wind driven optimization algorithm. This paper explores the potential of this new optimal method in solving multi-objective design problems in electromagnetics. In this regard, a vector wind driven optimization algorithm is proposed and validated using two inverse problems with promising numerical results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
