A recombination-based hybridization of particle swarm optimization and artificial bee colony algorithm for continuous optimization problems

This paper presents a hybridization of particle swarm optimization (PSO) and artificial bee colony (ABC) approaches, based on recombination procedure. The PSO and ABC are population-based iterative methods. While the PSO directly uses the global best solution of the population to determine new positions for the particles at the each iteration, agents (employed, onlooker and scout bees) of the ABC do not directly use this information but the global best solution in the ABC is stored at the each iteration. The global best solutions obtained by the PSO and ABC are used for recombination, and the solution obtained from this recombination is given to the populations of the PSO and ABC as the global best and neighbor food source for onlooker bees, respectively. Information flow between particle swarm and bee colony helps increase global and local search abilities of the hybrid approach which is referred to as Hybrid approach based on Particle swarm optimization and Artificial bee colony algorithm, HPA for short. In order to test the performance of the HPA algorithm, this study utilizes twelve basic numerical benchmark functions in addition to CEC2005 composite functions and an energy demand estimation problem. The experimental results obtained by the HPA are compared with those of the PSO and ABC. The performance of the HPA is also compared with that of other hybrid methods based on the PSO and ABC. The experimental results show that the HPA algorithm is an alternative and competitive optimizer for continuous optimization problems.

The continuous artificial bee colony algorithm for binary optimization

Artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm, one of the swarm intelligence algorithms, has been proposed for continuous optimization, inspired intelligent behaviors of real honey bee colony. For the optimization problems having binary structured solution space, the basic ABC algorithm should be modified because its basic version is proposed for solving continuous optimization problems. In this study, an adapted version of ABC, ABC_bin for short, is proposed for binary optimization. In the proposed model for solving binary optimization problems, despite the fact that artificial agents in the algorithm works on the continuous solution space, the food source position obtained by the artificial agents is converted to binary values, before the objective function specific for the problem is evaluated. The accuracy and performance of the proposed approach have been examined on well-known 15 benchmark instances of uncapacitated facility location problem, and the results obtained by ABC_bin are compared with the results of continuous particle swarm optimization (CPSO), binary particle swarm optimization (BPSO), improved binary particle swarm optimization (IBPSO), binary artificial bee colony algorithm (binABC) and discrete artificial bee colony algorithm (DisABC). The performance of ABC_bin is also analyzed under the change of control parameter values. The experimental results and comparisons show that proposed ABC_bin is an alternative and simple binary optimization tool in terms of solution quality and robustness.

Constrained particle swarm optimization using a bi-objective formulation

This paper introduces an approach for dealing with constraints when using particle swarm optimization. The constrained, single objective optimization problem is converted into an unconstrained, bi-objective optimization problem that is solved using a multi-objective implementation of the particle swarm optimization algorithm. A specialized bi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm is presented and an engineering example problem is used to illustrate the performance of the algorithm. An additional set of 13 test problems from the literature is used to further validate the performance of the newly proposed algorithm. For the example problems considered here, the proposed algorithm produced promising results, indicating that it is an approach that deserves further consideration. The newly proposed algorithm provides performance similar to that of a tuned penalty function approach, without having to tune any penalty parameters.

An improved hybrid particle swarm optimization algorithm applied to economic modeling of radio resource allocation

An operational economic model for radio resource allocation in the downlink of a multi-cell WCDMA (acronym for wideband code division multiple access). system is developed in this paper, and a particle swarm optimization (PSO) based approach is proposed for its solution. Firstly, we develop an economic model for resource allocation that considers the utility of the provided service, the acceptance probability of the service by the users and the revenue generated for the network operator. Then, we introduce a constrained hybrid PSO algorithm, called improved hybrid particle swarm optimization (I-HPSO), in order to find feasible solutions to the problem. We compare the performance of the I-HPSO algorithm with those achieved by the original HPSO algorithm and by standard metaheuristic optimization techniques, such as hill climbing, simulated annealing, standard PSO and genetic algorithms. The obtained results indicate that the proposed approach achieves superior performance than the conventional techniques.

A novel two-stage hybrid swarm intelligence optimization algorithm and application

This paper presents a novel two-stage hybrid swarm intelligence optimization algorithm called GA–PSO–ACO algorithm that combines the evolution ideas of the genetic algorithms, particle swarm optimization and ant colony optimization based on the compensation for solving the traveling salesman problem. In the proposed hybrid algorithm, the whole process is divided into two stages. In the first stage, we make use of the randomicity, rapidity and wholeness of the genetic algorithms and particle swarm optimization to obtain a series of sub-optimal solutions (rough searching) to adjust the initial allocation of pheromone in the ACO. In the second stage, we make use of these advantages of the parallel, positive feedback and high accuracy of solution to implement solving of whole problem (detailed searching). To verify the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed hybrid algorithm, various scale benchmark problems from TSPLIB are tested to demonstrate the potential of the proposed two-stage hybrid swarm intelligence optimization algorithm. The simulation examples demonstrate that the GA–PSO–ACO algorithm can greatly improve the computing efficiency for solving the TSP and outperforms the Tabu Search, genetic algorithms, particle swarm optimization, ant colony optimization, PS–ACO and other methods in solution quality. And the experimental results demonstrate that convergence is faster and better when the scale of TSP increases.
