SSABA: Search Step Adjustment Based Algorithm

Finding the suitable solution to optimization problems is a fundamental challenge in various sciences. Optimization algorithms are one of the effective stochastic methods in solving optimization problems. In this paper, a new stochastic optimization algorithm called Search Step Adjustment Based Algorithm (SSABA) is presented to provide quasi-optimal solutions to various optimization problems. In the initial iterations of the algorithm, the step index is set to the highest value for a comprehensive search of the search space. Then, with increasing repetitions in order to focus the search of the algorithm in achieving the optimal solution closer to the global optimal, the step index is reduced to reach the minimum value at the end of the algorithm implementation. SSABA is mathematically modeled and its performance in optimization is evaluated on twenty-three different standard objective functions of unimodal and multimodal types. The results of optimization of unimodal functions show that the proposed algorithm SSABA has high exploitation power and the results of optimization of multimodal functions show the appropriate exploration power of the proposed algorithm. In addition, the performance of the proposed SSABA is compared with the performance of eight well-known algorithms, including Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Genetic Algorithm (GA), Teaching-Learning Based Optimization (TLBO), Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA), Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO), Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA), Marine Predators Algorithm (MPA), and Tunicate Swarm Algorithm (TSA). The simulation results show that the proposed SSABA is better and more competitive than the eight compared algorithms with better performance.     

Hybrid simplex search and particle swarm optimization for the global optimization of multimodal functions

This article proposes the hybrid Nelder–Mead (NM)–Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm based on the NM simplex search method and PSO for the optimization of multimodal functions. The hybrid NM–PSO algorithm is very easy to implement, in practice, since it does not require gradient computation. This hybrid procedure performed the exploration with PSO and the exploitation with the NM simplex search method. In a suite of 17 multi-optima test functions taken from the literature, the computational results via various experimental studies showed that the hybrid NM–PSO approach is superior to the two original search techniques (i.e. NM and PSO) in terms of solution quality and convergence rate. In addition, the presented algorithm is also compared with eight other published methods, such as hybrid genetic algorithm (GA), continuous GA, simulated annealing (SA), and tabu search (TS) by means of a smaller set of test functions. On the whole, the new algorithm is demonstrated to be extremely effective and efficient at locating best-practice optimal solutions for multimodal functions.

Guided particle swarm optimization method to solve general nonlinear optimization problems

The development of hybrid algorithms is becoming an important topic in the global optimization research area. This article proposes a new technique in hybridizing the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm and the Nelder–Mead (NM) simplex search algorithm to solve general nonlinear unconstrained optimization problems. Unlike traditional hybrid methods, the proposed method hybridizes the NM algorithm inside the PSO to improve the velocities and positions of the particles iteratively. The new hybridization considers the PSO algorithm and NM algorithm as one heuristic, not in a sequential or hierarchical manner. The NM algorithm is applied to improve the initial random solution of the PSO algorithm and iteratively in every step to improve the overall performance of the method. The performance of the proposed method was tested over 20 optimization test functions with varying dimensions. Comprehensive comparisons with other methods in the literature indicate that the proposed solution method is promising and competitive.     

Rock Hyraxes Swarm Optimization: A New Nature-Inspired Metaheuristic Optimization Algorithm

This paper presents a novel metaheuristic algorithm called Rock Hyraxes Swarm Optimization (RHSO) inspired by the behavior of rock hyraxes swarms in nature. The RHSO algorithm mimics the collective behavior of Rock Hyraxes to find their eating and their special way of looking at this food. Rock hyraxes live in colonies or groups where a dominant male watch over the colony carefully to ensure their safety leads the group. Forty-eight (22 unimodal and 26 multimodal) test functions commonly used in the optimization area are used as a testing benchmark for the RHSO algorithm. A comparative efficiency analysis also checks RHSO with Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Artificial-Bee-Colony (ABC), Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA), and Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO). The obtained results showed the superiority of the RHSO algorithm over the selected algorithms; also, the obtained results demonstrated the ability of the RHSO in convergence towards the global optimal through optimization as it performs well in both exploitation and exploration tests. Further, RHSO is very effective in solving real issues with constraints and new search space. It is worth mentioning that the RHSO algorithm has a few variables, and it can achieve better performance than the selected algorithms in many test functions.     

Improvised Seagull Optimization Algorithm for Scheduling Tasks in Heterogeneous Cloud Environment

Well organized datacentres with interconnected servers constitute the cloud computing infrastructure. User requests are submitted through an interface to these servers that provide service to them in an on-demand basis. The scientific applications that get executed at cloud by making use of the heterogeneous resources being allocated to them in a dynamic manner are grouped under NP hard problem category. Task scheduling in cloud poses numerous challenges impacting the cloud performance. If not handled properly, user satisfaction becomes questionable. More recently researchers had come up with meta-heuristic type of solutions for enriching the task scheduling activity in the cloud environment. The prime aim of task scheduling is to utilize the resources available in an optimal manner and reduce the time span of task execution. An improvised seagull optimization algorithm which combines the features of the Cuckoo search (CS) and seagull optimization algorithm (SOA) had been proposed in this work to enhance the performance of the scheduling activity inside the cloud computing environment. The proposed algorithm aims to minimize the cost and time parameters that are spent during task scheduling in the heterogeneous cloud environment. Performance evaluation of the proposed algorithm had been performed using the Cloudsim 3.0 toolkit by comparing it with Multi objective-Ant Colony Optimization (MO-ACO), ACO and Min-Min algorithms. The proposed SOA-CS technique had produced an improvement of 1.06%, 4.2%, and 2.4% for makespan and had reduced the overall cost to the extent of 1.74%, 3.93% and 2.77% when compared with PSO, ACO, IDEA algorithms respectively when 300 vms are considered. The comparative simulation results obtained had shown that the proposed improvised seagull optimization algorithm fares better than other contemporaries.

On the optimal control of steel annealing processes via various versions of genetic and particle swarm optimization algorithms

7 This paper elucidates the computation of optimal controls for steel annealing processes as hybrid systems which comprise of one or more furnaces integrated with plant-wide planning and scheduling operations. A class of hybrid system is considered to capture the trade-off between metallurgical quality requirement and timely product delivery. Various optimization algorithms including particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO) with time varying inertia weight methods, PSO with globally and locally tuned parameters (GLBest PSO), parameter free PSO (pf-PSO) and PSO like algorithm via extrapolation (ePSO), real coded genetic algorithm (RCGA) and two-phase hybrid real coded genetic algorithm (HRCGA) are considered to solve the optimal control problems for the steel annealing processes (SAP). The optimal solutions including optimal line speed, optimal cost, and job completion time and convergence rate obtained through all these optimization algorithms are compared with each other and also those obtained via the existing method, forward algorithm (FA). Various statistical analyses and analysis of variance (ANOVA) test and hypothesis t-test are carried out in order to compare the performance of each method in solving the optimal control problems of SAP. The comparative study of the performance of the various algorithms indicates that the PSO like algorithms, pf-PSO and ePSO are equally good and are also better than all the other optimization methods considered in this chapter.     

Enhancing particle swarm optimization algorithm using two new strategies for optimizing design of truss structures

This work develops an augmented particle swarm optimization (AugPSO) algorithm using two new strategies,: boundary-shifting and particle-position-resetting. The purpose of the algorithm is to optimize the design of truss structures. Inspired by a heuristic, the boundary-shifting approach forces particles to move to the boundary between feasible and infeasible regions in order to increase the convergence rate in searching. The purpose of the particle-position-resetting approach, motivated by mutation scheme in genetic algorithms (GAs), is to increase the diversity of particles and to prevent the solution of particles from falling into local minima. The performance of the AugPSO algorithm was tested on four benchmark truss design problems involving 10, 25, 72 and 120 bars. The convergence rates and final solutions achieved were compared among the simple PSO, the PSO with passive congregation (PSOPC) and the AugPSO algorithms. The numerical results indicate that the new AugPSO algorithm outperforms the simple PSO and PSOPC algorithms. The AugPSO achieved a new and superior optimal solution to the 120-bar truss design problem. Numerical analyses showed that the AugPSO algorithm is more robust than the PSO and PSOPC algorithms.
