: In the paper, the “InternalRef removed” section has explained the improved proportional topology optimization algorithms which are called respectively IPTO_A, IPTO_B, IPTO_C, and IPTO_D. Readers can use MATLAB software to write the codes of the improved proportional topology optimization algorithms in accordance with the implementation process of IPTO_A. Based on these codes, the results which have been given and discussed in the “InternalRef removed” section and Appendix A can be replicated by solving the compliance optimization problem for the MBB beam according to the parameter settings provided in the paper.
