Abstract: A new nonlinear optimization
approach with discrete design variables based on linear
estimation is proposed, in which the complex engineering
structures optimization problems, such as 3-D space plate-system
structures optimization problems, can be solved. By avoided
using point-by-point searching strategy, which is usually used
in other discrete optimization algorithms, the times of function
calculation is greatly reduced.
