A Multi-Objective Integer Melody Search Algorithm

There are a number of algorithms for the solution of continuous optimization problems. However, many practical design optimization problems use integer design variables instead of continuous. These types of problems cannot be handled by using continuous design variables-based algorithms. In this paper, we present a multi-objective integer melody search optimization algorithm (MO-IMS) for solving multi-objective integer optimization problems, which take design variables as integers. The proposed algorithm is a modified version of single-objective melody search (MS) algorithm, which is an innovative optimization algorithm, inspired by basic concepts applied in harmony search (HS) algorithm. Results show that MO-IMS has better performance in solving multi-objective integer problems than the existing multi-objective integer harmony search algorithm (MO-IHS). Performance of proposed algorithm is evaluated by using various performance metrics on test functions. The simulation results show that the proposed MO-IMS can be a better technique for solving multi-objective problems having integer decision variables.

Improved cat swarm optimization algorithm for solving global optimization problems and its application to clustering

This paper presents a cat swarm optimization (CSO) algorithm for solving global optimization problems. In CSO algorithm, some modifications are incorporated to improve its performance and balance between global and local search. In tracing mode of the CSO algorithm, a new search equation is proposed to guide the search toward a global optimal solution.

These test functions are widely used to evaluate the performance of new optimization algorithms. The experimental results confirm that the proposed algorithm gives better results than the other algorithms. In addition, the proposed ICSO algorithm is also applied for solving the clustering problems. The performance of the ICSO algorithm is evaluated on five datasets taken from the UCI repository. The simulation results show that ICSO-based clustering algorithm gives better performance than other existing clustering algorithms.     

A novel chaotic Henry gas solubility optimization algorithm for solving real-world engineering problems

The paper proposes a novel metaheuristic based on integrating chaotic maps into a Henry gas solubility optimization algorithm (HGSO). The new algorithm is named chaotic Henry gas solubility optimization (CHGSO). The hybridization is aimed at enhancement of the convergence rate of the original Henry gas solubility optimizer for solving real-life engineering optimization problems. This hybridization provides a problem-independent optimization algorithm. The CHGSO performance is evaluated using various conventional constrained optimization problems, e.g., a welded beam problem and a cantilever beam problem. The performance of the CHGSO is investigated using both the manufacturing and diaphragm spring design problems taken from the automotive industry. The results obtained from using CHGSO for solving the various constrained test problems are compared with a number of established and newly invented metaheuristics, including an artificial bee colony algorithm, an ant colony algorithm, a cuckoo search algorithm, a salp swarm optimization algorithm, a grasshopper optimization algorithm, a mine blast algorithm, an ant lion optimizer, a gravitational search algorithm, a multi-verse optimizer, a Harris hawks optimization algorithm, and the original Henry gas solubility optimization algorithm. The results indicate that with selecting an appropriate chaotic map, the CHGSO is a robust optimization approach for obtaining the optimal variables in mechanical design and manufacturing optimization problems.

     

A hybrid cuckoo search-genetic algorithm for hole-making sequence optimization

Biologically-inspired algorithms are stochastic search methods that emulate the behavior of natural biological evolution to produce better solutions and have been widely used to solve engineering optimization problems. In this paper, a new hybrid algorithm is proposed based on the breeding behavior of cuckoos and evolutionary strategies of genetic algorithm by combining the advantages of genetic algorithm into the cuckoo search algorithm. The proposed hybrid cuckoo search-genetic algorithm (CSGA) is used for the optimization of hole-making operations in which a hole may require various tools to machine its final size. The main objective considered here is to minimize the total non-cutting time of the machining process, including the tool positioning time and the tool switching time. The performance of CSGA is verified through solving a set of benchmark problems taken from the literature. The amount of improvement obtained for different problem sizes are reported and compared with those by ant colony optimization, particle swarm optimization, immune based algorithm and cuckoo search algorithm. The results of the tests show that CSGA is superior to the compared algorithms.
