The proposed methodology exploits the integration of analytical strategies and a global optimization technique in order to solve the limitations of current almost difference sets (ADSs)-based methods. Towards this end, a customization of the optimization operators is performed in order to exploit the a-priori information provided by ADS sequences and guide the optimization performed by a Genetic Algorithm (GA). Some numerical results are shown in order to validate the proposed ADSGA approach for the thinning of planar arrays. publisher: ELEDIA Research Center - University of Trento date: 2018 type: Monograph type: NonPeerReviewed format: text language: en identifier: http://www.eledia.org/students-reports/766/1/Synthesis%20of%20Planar%20Thinned%20Arrays%20by%20Means%20of%20an%20Innovative%20Analytical%E2%80%90Stochastic%20Approach.pdf identifier: Salucci, M. and Gottardi, G. and Anselmi, N. and Oliveri, G.
