Handwritten signatures are used in authentication systems as a universal biometric identifier. Signature authenticity verification requires building and training a classifier. This paper describes a new approach to the verification of handwritten signatures by dynamic characteristics with a fuzzy rule-based classifier. It is suggested to use the metaheuristic Gravitational Search Algorithm for the selection of the relevant features and tuning fuzzy rule parameters. The efficiency of the approach was tested with an original dataset; the type II errors in finding the signature authenticity did not exceed 0.5% for the worst model and 0.08% for the best model.

This paper concerns several important topics of the Symmetry journal, namely, pattern recognition, computer-aided design, diversity and similarity. We also take advantage of the symmetric and asymmetric structure of a transfer function, which is responsible to map a continuous search space to a binary search space. A new method for design of a fuzzy-rule-based classifier using metaheuristics called Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA) is discussed. The paper identifies three basic stages of the classifier construction: feature selection, creating of a fuzzy rule base and optimization of the antecedent parameters of rules. At the first stage, several feature subsets are obtained by using the wrapper scheme on the basis of the binary GSA. Creating fuzzy rules is a serious challenge in designing the fuzzy-rule-based classifier in the presence of high-dimensional data. The classifier structure is formed by the rule base generation algorithm by using minimum and maximum feature values. The optimal fuzzy-rule-based parameters are extracted from the training data using the continuous GSA. The classifier performance is tested on real-world KEEL (Knowledge Extraction based on Evolutionary Learning) datasets. The results demonstrate that highly accurate classifiers could be constructed with relatively few fuzzy rules and features.

This paper presents a new approach to the solution of optimal power generation for economic load dispatch (ELD) using gravitational search algorithm (GSA) when all the generators include valve point effects and some/all of the generators have prohibited operating zones. In this paper a gravitational search algorithm is suggested that deals with equality and inequality constraints in ELD problems. A constraint treatment mechanism is also discussed to accelerate the optimization process<strong>. </strong>To verify the robustness and superiority of the proposed GSA based approach, a practical sized 40-generators case with valve point effects and prohibited operating zones is considered. The simulation results reveal that the proposed GSA approach ensures convergence within an acceptable execution time and provides highly optimal solution as compared to the results obtained from well established heuristic optimization approaches.
