Abstract(s)
The application of evolutionary algorithms in optimization is currently receiving growing interest from researchers with various backgrounds. A genetic algorithm (GA) is a search technique based on the natural selection process that provides a unique flexibility and robustness for process optimization. Recently, a closer look of some phenomena present in electrical systems and the motivation towards the development of comprehensive models, pointed out the requirement for a fractional calculus approach. In this work, it is applied the concept of fractional calculus to define, and to evaluate, the electrical potential of fractional order. Bearing these ideas in mind, the paper addresses the analysis and the synthesis of fractional-order multipoles, based in a GA optimization scheme.
