Multi swarm bare bones particle swarm optimization with distribution adaption

Bare bones PSO is a simple swarm optimization approach that uses a probability distribution like Gaussian distribution in the position update rules. However, due to its nature, Bare bones PSO is highly prone to premature convergence and stagnation. The characteristics of the probability distribution functions used in the update rule have a tense impact on the performance of the bare bones PSO. As a result, this paper investigates the use of different methods for estimating the probability distributions used in the update rule. Four methods or strategies are developed that are using Gaussian or multivariate Gaussian distributions. The choice of an appropriate updating strategy for each particle greatly depends on the characteristics of the fitness landscape that surrounds the swarm. To deal with issue, the cellular learning automata model is incorporated with the proposed bare bones PSO, which is able to adaptively learn suitable updating strategies for the particles. Through the interactions among its elements and the learning capabilities of its learning automata, cellular learning automata gradually learns to select the best updating rules for the particles based on their surrounding fitness landscape. This paper also, investigates a new and simple method for adaptively refining the covariance matrices of multivariate Gaussian distributions used in the proposed updating strategies. The proposed method is compared with some other well-known particle swarm approaches. The results indicate the superiority of the proposed approach in terms of the accuracy of the achieved results and the speed in finding appropriate solutions.

A modified particle swarm optimization via particle visual modeling analysis

A particle is treated as a whole individual in all researches on particle swarm optimization (PSO) currently, these are not concerned with the information of every particle’s dimensional vector. A visual modeling method describing particle’s dimensional vector behavior is presented in this paper. Based on the analysis of visual modeling, the reason for premature convergence and diversity loss in PSO is explained, and a new modified algorithm is proposed to ensure the rational flight of every particle’s dimensional component. Meanwhile, two parameters of particle-distribution-degree and particle-dimension-distance are introduced into the proposed algorithm in order to avoid premature convergence. Simulation results of the new PSO algorithm show that it has a better ability of finding the global optimum, and still keeps a rapid convergence as with the standard PSO.     

Particle Swarm Optimization with Chaos-based Initialization for Numerical Optimization

Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a population based swarm intelligence algorithm that has been deeply studied and widely applied to a variety of problems. However, it is easily trapped into the local optima and premature convergence appears when solving complex multimodal problems. To address these issues, we present a new particle swarm optimization by introducing chaotic maps (Tent and Logistic) and Gaussian mutation mechanism as well as a local re-initialization strategy into the standard PSO algorithm. On one hand, the chaotic map is utilized to generate uniformly distributed particles to improve the quality of the initial population. On the other hand, Gaussian mutation as well as the local re-initialization strategy based on the maximal focus distance is exploited to help the algorithm escape from the local optima and make the particles proceed with searching in other regions of the solution space. In addition, an auxiliary velocity-position update strategy is exclusively used for the global best particle, which can effectively guarantee the convergence of the proposed particle swarm optimization. Extensive experiments on eight well-known benchmark functions with different dimensions demonstrate that the proposed PSO is superior or highly competitive to several state-of-the-art PSO variants in dealing with complex multimodal problems.

一种自适应柯西变异的反向学习粒子群优化算法

针对传统粒子群优化算法易出现早熟的问题,提出了一种自适应变异的反向学习粒子群优化算法。该算法在一般性反向学习方法的基础上,提出了自适应柯西变异策略(ACM)。采用一般性反向学习策略生成反向解,可扩大搜索空间,增强算法的全局勘探能力。为避免粒子陷入局部最优解而导致搜索停滞现象的发生,采用ACM策略对当前最优粒子进行扰动,自适应地获取变异点,在有效提高算法局部开采能力的同时,使算法能更加平稳快速地收敛到全局最优解。为进一步平衡算法的全局搜索与局部探测能力,采用非线性的自适应惯性权值。将算法在14个测试函数上与多种基于反向学习策略的PSO算法进行对比,实验结果表明提出的算法在解的精度以及收敛速度上得到了大幅度的提高。
