A method for determining the orbital parameters of interacting pairs of galaxies is presented and evaluated using artificial data. The method consists of a genetic algorithm which can search efficiently through the very large space of possible orbits. It is found that, in most cases, orbital parameters close to the actual orbital parameters of the pair can be found. The method does not require information about the velocity field of the interacting system, and is able to cope with noisy data. The inner regions of the galaxies, which are difficult to model, can be neglected, and the orbital parameters can be determined using the remaining information.

Modeling of interacting galaxies suffers from an extended parameter space prohibiting traditional grid based search strategies. As an alternative approach a combination of a Genetic Algorithm (GA) with fast restricted N-body simulations can be applie
d. A typical fit takes about 3-6 CPU-hours on a PentiumII processor. Here we present a parallel implementation of our GA which reduces the CPU-requirement of a parameter determination to a few minutes on 100 nodes of a CRAY T3E.
Context: The detection and identification of oscillation modes (in terms of their $ell$, $m$ and successive $n$) is a great challenge for present and future asteroseismic space missions. The peak tagging is an important step in the analysis of these
data to provide estimations of stellar oscillation mode parameters, i.e., frequencies, rotation rates, and further studies on the stellar structure. Aims: To increase the signal-to-noise ratio of the asteroseismic spectra computed from time series representative of MOST and CoRoT observations (30- and 150-day observations). Methods: We apply the curvelet transform -- a recent image processing technique which looks for curved patterns -- to echelle diagrams built using asteroseismic power spectra. In this diagram the eigenfrequencies appear as smooth continuous ridges. To test the method we use Monte Carlo simulations of several sun-like stars with different combinations of rotation rates, rotation-axis inclination and signal-to-noise ratios. Results: The filtered diagrams enhance the contrast between the ridges of the modes and the background allowing a better tagging of the modes and a better extraction of some stellar parameters. Monte Carlo simulations have also shown that the region where modes can be detected is enlarged at lower and higher frequencies compared to the raw spectra. Even more, the extraction of the mean rotational splitting from modes at low frequency can be done more easily than using the raw spectrum.
A population of committees of agents that learn by using neural networks is implemented to simulate the stock market. Each committee of agents, which is regarded as a player in a game, is optimised by continually adapting the architecture of the agen
ts using genetic algorithms. The committees of agents buy and sell stocks by following this procedure: (1) obtain the current price of stocks; (2) predict the future price of stocks; (3) and for a given price trade until all the players are mutually satisfied. The trading of stocks is conducted by following these rules: (1) if a player expects an increase in price then it tries to buy the stock; (2) else if it expects a drop in the price, it sells the stock; (3)and the order in which a player participates in the game is random. The proposed procedure is implemented to simulate trading of three stocks, namely, the Dow Jones, the Nasdaq and the S&P 500. A linear relationship between the number of players and agents versus the computational time to run the complete simulation is observed. It is also found that no player has a monopolistic advantage.
The paper presents a solution for the problem of choosing a method for analytical determining of weight factors for a genetic algorithm additive fitness function. This algorithm is the basis for an evolutionary process, which forms a stable and effec
tive query population in a search engine to obtain highly relevant results. The paper gives a formal description of an algorithm fitness function, which is a weighted sum of three heterogeneous criteria. The selected methods for analytical determining of weight factors are described in detail. It is noted that expert assessment methods are impossible to use. The authors present a research methodology using the experimental results from earlier in the discussed project Data Warehouse Support on the Base Intellectual Web Crawler and Evolutionary Model for Target Information Selection. There is a description of an initial dataset with data ranges for calculating weights. The calculation order is illustrated by examples. The research results in graphical form demonstrate the fitness function behavior during the genetic algorithm operation using various weighting options.

Type IIP supernovae are recognized as independent extragalactic distance indicators, however, keeping in view of the diverse nature of their observed properties as well as the availability of good quality data, more and newer events need to be tested
for their applicability as a reliable distance indicators. We use early photometric and spectroscopic data of eight type-IIP SNe to derive distances to their host galaxies using the expanding photosphere method (EPM). For five of these, EPM is applied for the first time. In this work, we improved EPM application by using SYNOW estimated velocities and by semi-deconvolving the broadband filter responses while deriving color temperatures and black-body angular radii. We find that the derived EPM distances are consistent with that derived using other redshift independent methods.
