10.2.1 Pseudo-code of DVBA

The pseudo-code of DVBA is represented in Algorithm 9. Step by step the

algorithm is explained in the next section.

Algorithm 9 Description of DVBA with pseudo-code.

1: Objective function f(x), x = (x

, (i = 1, 2)

3: Initialize wavelength λ

i

and frequency freq

i

4: Find the increment rate ρ

5: Define the increment divisor β, the scope width variable b

6: Initialize the number of the waves(j) and search points(k)

7: Find f
