Studies on Real-Valued Negative Selection Algorithms for Self-Nonself Discrimination
The artificial immune system (AIS) is an emerging research field of computational intelligence that is inspired by the principle of biological immune systems. With the adaptive learning ability and a self-organization and robustness nature, the immunology based AIS algorithms have successfully been …

Finite-strength shock propagation for alternative equations of state
… making calculations for finite-strength, i.e., nonself-similar, shock waves is developed. Using concepts of Lie groups, the invariance properties of the spherically symmetric equations of gasdynamics are determined and used to construct invariant equations of state. The invariant functions of …
