Optimization is essential to reduce the cost of high-temperature superconducting (HTS) maglev systems composed of a permanent magnetic guideway (PMG) and an HTS unit and thus promote their application. In this paper, the geometrical shape of a Halbach-derived PMG is optimized via an intelligent gene...
