Cognitive behavior optimization algorithm for solving optimization problems

Nature-based algorithms have become popular in recent fifteen years and have been widely applied in various fields of science and engineering, such as robot control, cluster analysis, controller design, dynamic optimization and image processing. In this paper, a new swarm intelligence algorithm named cognitive behavior optimization algorithm (COA) is introduced, which is used to solve the real-valued numerical optimization problems. COA has a detailed cognitive behavior model. In the model of COA, the common phenomenon of foraging food source for population is summarized as the process of exploration–communication–adjustment. Matching with the process, three main behaviors and two groups in COA are introduced. Firstly, cognitive population uses Gaussian and Levy flight random walk methods to explore the search space in the rough search behavior. Secondly, the improved crossover and mutation operator are used in the information exchange and share behavior between the two groups: cognitive population and memory population. Finally, the intelligent adjustment behavior is used to enhance the exploitation of the population for cognitive population. To verify the performance of our approach, both the classic and modern complex benchmark functions considered as the unconstrained functions are employed. Meanwhile, some well-known engineering design optimization problems are used as the constrained functions in the literature. The experimental results, considering both convergence and accuracy simultaneously, demonstrate the effectiveness of COA for global numerical and engineering optimization problems.

Applying multi-objective ant colony optimization algorithm for solving the unequal area facility layout problems

The unequal area facility layout problem (UA-FLP) which deals with the layout of departments in a facility comprises of a class of extremely difficult and widely applicable multi-objective optimization problems with constraints arising in diverse areas and meeting the requirements for real-world applications. Based on the heuristic strategy, the problem is first converted into an unconstrained optimization problem. Then, we use a modified version of the multi-objective ant colony optimization (MOACO) algorithm which is a heuristic global optimization algorithm and has shown promising performances in solving many optimization problems to solve the multi-objective UA-FLP. In the modified MOACO algorithm, the ACO with heuristic layout updating strategy which is proposed to update the layouts and add the diversity of solutions is a discrete ACO algorithm, with a difference from general ACO algorithms for discrete domains which perform an incremental construction of solutions but the ACO in this paper does not. We propose a novel pheromone update method and combine the Pareto optimization based on the local pheromone communication and the global search based on the niche technology to obtain Pareto-optimal solutions of the problem. In addition, the combination of the local search based on the adaptive gradient method and the heuristic department deformation strategy is applied to deal with the non-overlapping constraint between departments so as to obtain feasible solutions. Ten benchmark instances from the literature are tested. The experimental results show that the proposed MOACO algorithm is an effective method for solving the UA-FLP.     

An algorithm based on ant colony optimization for the minimum connected dominating set problem

Ant colony optimization is a well established metaheuristic from the swarm intelligence field for solving difficult optimization problems. In this work we present an application of ant colony optimization to the minimum connected dominating set problem, which is an NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem. Given an input graph, valid solutions are connected subgraphs of the given input graph. Due to the involved connectivity constraints, out-of-the-box integer linear programming solvers do not perform well for this problem. The developed ant colony optimization algorithm uses reduced variable neighborhood search as a sub-routine. Moreover, it can be applied to the weighted and to the non-weighted problem variants. An extensive experimental evaluation presents the comparison of our algorithm with the respective state-of-the-art techniques from the literature. It is shown that the proposed algorithm outperforms the current state of the art for both problem variants. For comparison purposes we also develop a constraint programming approach based on graph variables. Even though its performance deteriorates with growing instance size, it performs surprisingly well, solving 315 out of 481 considered problem instances to optimality.

Discrete particle swarm optimization method for the large-scale discrete time–cost trade-off problem

Despite many research studies have concentrated on designing heuristic and meta-heuristic methods for the discrete time–cost trade-off problem (DTCTP), very little success has been achieved in solving large-scale instances. This paper presents a discrete particle swarm optimization (DPSO) to achieve an effective method for the large-scale DTCTP. The proposed DPSO is based on the novel principles for representation, initialization and position-updating of the particles, and brings several benefits for solving the DTCTP, such as an adequate representation of the discrete search space, and enhanced optimization capabilities due to improved quality of the initial swarm. The computational experiment results reveal that the new method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods, both in terms of the solution quality and computation time, especially for medium and large-scale problems. High quality solutions with minor deviations from the global optima are achieved within seconds, for the first time for instances including up to 630 activities. The main contribution of the proposed particle swarm optimization method is that it provides high quality solutions for the time–cost optimization of large size projects within seconds, and enables optimal planning of real-life-size projects.     

A hybrid particle swarm optimization algorithm for the vehicle routing problem

This paper introduces a new hybrid algorithmic nature inspired approach based on particle swarm optimization, for successfully solving one of the most popular supply chain management problems, the vehicle routing problem. The vehicle routing problem is considered one of the most well studied problems in operations research. The proposed algorithm for the solution of the vehicle routing problem, the hybrid particle swarm optimization (HybPSO), combines a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, the multiple phase neighborhood search–greedy randomized adaptive search procedure (MPNS–GRASP) algorithm, the expanding neighborhood search (ENS) strategy and a path relinking (PR) strategy. The algorithm is suitable for solving very large-scale vehicle routing problems as well as other, more difficult combinatorial optimization problems, within short computational time. It is tested on a set of benchmark instances and produced very satisfactory results. The algorithm is ranked in the fifth place among the 39 most known and effective algorithms in the literature and in the first place among all nature inspired methods that have ever been used for this set of instances.

A novel discrete particle swarm optimization algorithm for meta-task assignment in heterogeneous computing systems

Optimal assignment of a meta-task in heterogeneous computing systems is NP-complete in the general case. Therefore, heuristic approaches must be employed to find good solutions within a reasonable time. We propose a novel discrete particle swarm optimization (DPSO) algorithm for this problem. Firstly, to make particle swarm optimization algorithm more suitable for solving task assignment problems, particles are represented as integer vectors and a new position update method is developed based on discrete domain. Secondly, an effective variable neighborhood descent algorithm is applied to emphasize exploitation. In addition, migration mechanism is introduced with the hope to escape from possible local optimum and to balance the exploration and exploitation. Computational simulations and comparisons based on a set of benchmark instances indicate that the proposed DPSO algorithm is a viable approach for the task assignment problem.     

Chaos particle swarm optimization and T-S fuzzy modeling approaches to constrained predictive control

Predictive control of systems is very much related to the efficiency and cost of systems, as well as to the quality of systems outcomes. However, it is difficult to achieve optimal predictive control because most predictive controls for systems have characteristics of randomness, strong and complex constraints, large delay time, fuzziness, and nonlinearity. Conventional methods of solving constrained nonlinear optimization problems for predictive control are mainly based on quadratic programming, which is quite sensitive to initial values, easy to trap in local minimal points, and requires large computational effort. In recent years, T-S fuzzy modeling has been found to be an effective approach in performing predictive control. Intelligent optimization algorithms, such as chaos optimization algorithm (COA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO), have been shown to have faster convergence and higher iterative accuracy than those based on conventional optimization methods. In this paper, chaos particle swarm optimization (CPSO), which involves combining the strengths of COA and PSO, and T-S fuzzy modeling are proposed as approaches to perform constrained predictive control. Predictive control of temperature of continued hyperthermic celiac perfusion for medical treatment based on the proposed approaches was carried out. Simulation tests were conducted to evaluate the performance of temperature control based on T-S fuzzy modeling and CPSO. Test results indicate that the T-S fuzzy model based on CPSO outperforms models based on generalized predictive control, COA, and PSO.

C-PSA: Constrained Pareto simulated annealing for constrained multi-objective optimization

In recent years, evolutionary algorithms (EAs) have been extensively developed and utilized to solve multi-objective optimization problems. However, some previous studies have shown that for certain problems, an approach which allows for non-greedy or uphill moves (unlike EAs), can be more beneficial. One such approach is simulated annealing (SA). SA is a proven heuristic for solving numerical optimization problems. But owing to its point-to-point nature of search, limited efforts has been made to explore its potential for solving multi-objective problems. The focus of the presented work is to develop a simulated annealing algorithm for constrained multi-objective problems. The performance of the proposed algorithm is reported on a number of difficult constrained benchmark problems. A comparison with other established multi-objective optimization algorithms, such as infeasibility driven evolutionary algorithm (IDEA), Non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) and multi-objective Scatter search II (MOSS-II) has been included to highlight the benefits of the proposed approach.
