This paper proposes an improved memetic algorithm relying on ring neighborhood topology for constrained optimization problems based on our previous work in Cai et al. (Soft Comput (in press), 2013). The main motivation of using ring neighborhood topology is to provide a good balance between effective exploration and efficient exploitation, which is a very important design issue for memetic algorithms. More specifically, a novel variant of invasive weed optimization (IWO) as the local refinement procedure is proposed in this paper. The proposed IWO variant adopts a neighborhood-based dispersal operator to achieve more fine-grained local search through the estimation of neighborhood fitness information relying on the ring neighborhood topology. Furthermore, a modified version of differential evolution (DE), known as “DE/current-to-best/1”, is integrated into the improved memetic algorithm with the aim of providing a more effective exploration. Performance of the improved memetic algorithm has been comprehensively tested on 13 well-known benchmark test functions and four engineering constrained optimization problems. The experimental results show that the improved memetic algorithm obtains greater competitiveness when compared with the original memetic approach Cai et al. in (Soft Comput (in press), 2013) and other state-of-the-art algorithms. The effectiveness of the modification of each component in the proposed approach is also discussed in the paper. 相似文献

Many real-world problems can be categorized as constrained optimization problems. So, designing effective algorithms for constrained optimization problems become more and more important. In designing algorithms, how to guide the individuals moving more efficiently towards the feasible region is one of the most important aspects on finding the optimum of constrained optimization problems. In this paper, we propose an improved ε constrained differential evolution, which combines with pre-estimated comparison gradient based approximation. The proposed algorithm uses gradient matrix to determine whether the trail vector generated by differential evolution algorithm is worth using the fitness function to evaluate it or not. Pre-estimated comparison gradient based approximation is used as a detector to find the promising offspring and in this way can we guide the individuals moving towards the feasible region. The proposed method is tested both on twenty-four benchmark functions and four well-known engineering optimization problems. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is highly competitive in comparing with other state-of-the-art algorithms. The proposed algorithm offers higher accuracy in engineering optimization problems for constrained optimization problems. 相似文献

Recently, there has been an increasing concern from the evolutionary computation community on dynamic optimization problems
since many real-world optimization problems are dynamic. This paper investigates a particle swarm optimization (PSO) based
memetic algorithm that hybridizes PSO with a local search technique for dynamic optimization problems. Within the framework
of the proposed algorithm, a local version of PSO with a ring-shape topology structure is used as the global search operator
and a fuzzy cognition local search method is proposed as the local search technique. In addition, a self-organized random
immigrants scheme is extended into our proposed algorithm in order to further enhance its exploration capacity for new peaks
in the search space. Experimental study over the moving peaks benchmark problem shows that the proposed PSO-based memetic
algorithm is robust and adaptable in dynamic environments. 相似文献

This paper presents a novel constrained optimization algorithm named MAL-IGWO, which integrates the benefit of the improved grey wolf optimization (IGWO) capability for discovering the global optimum with the modified augmented Lagrangian (MAL) multiplier method to handle constraints. In the proposed MAL-IGWO algorithm, the MAL method effectively converts a constrained problem into an unconstrained problem and the IGWO algorithm is applied to deal with the unconstrained problem. This algorithm is tested on 24 well-known benchmark problems and 3 engineering applications, and compared with other state-of-the-art algorithms. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm shows better performance in comparison to other approaches. 相似文献

During the past decade, considerable research has been conducted on constrained optimization problems (COPs) which are frequently encountered in practical engineering applications. By introducing resource limitations as constraints, the optimal solutions in COPs are generally located on boundaries of feasible design space, which leads to search difficulties when applying conventional optimization algorithms, especially for complex constraint problems. Even though penalty function method has been frequently used for handling the constraints, the adjustment of control parameters is often complicated and involves a trial-and-error approach. To overcome these difficulties, a modified particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm named parallel boundary search particle swarm optimization (PBSPSO) algorithm is proposed in this paper. Modified constrained PSO algorithm is adopted to conduct global search in one branch while Subset Constrained Boundary Narrower (SCBN) function and sequential quadratic programming (SQP) are applied to perform local boundary search in another branch. A cooperative mechanism of the two branches has been built in which locations of the particles near boundaries of constraints are selected as initial positions of local boundary search and the solutions of local boundary search will lead the global search direction to boundaries of active constraints. The cooperation behavior of the two branches effectively reinforces the optimization capability of the PSO algorithm. The optimization performance of PBSPSO algorithm is illustrated through 13 CEC06 test functions and 5 common engineering problems. The results are compared with other state-of-the-art algorithms and it is shown that the proposed algorithm possesses a competitive global search capability and is effective for constrained optimization problems in engineering applications. 相似文献

Memetic algorithms (MA) have recently been applied successfully to solve decision and optimization problems. However, selecting a suitable local search technique remains a critical issue of MA, as this significantly affects the performance of the algorithms. This paper presents a new agent based memetic algorithm (AMA) for solving constrained real-valued optimization problems, where the agents have the ability to independently select a suitable local search technique (LST) from our designed set. Each agent represents a candidate solution of the optimization problem and tries to improve its solution through co-operation with other agents. Evolutionary operators consist of only crossover and one of the self-adaptively selected LSTs. The performance of the proposed algorithm is tested on five new benchmark problems along with 13 existing well-known problems, and the experimental results show convincing performance. 相似文献

Multimodal optimization aims at finding multiple global and local optima (as opposed to a single solution) of a function, so that the user can have a better knowledge about different optimal solutions in the search space and as and when needed, the current solution may be switched to another suitable one while still maintaining the optimal system performance. Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) due to their population-based approach are able to detect multiple solutions within a population in a single simulation run and have a clear advantage over the classical optimization techniques, which need multiple restarts and multiple runs in the hope that a different solution may be discovered every run, with no guarantee however. This article proposes a hybrid two-stage optimization technique that firstly employs Invasive Weed Optimization (IWO), an ecologically inspired algorithm to find the promising Euclidean sub-regions surrounding multiple global and local optima. IWO is run for 80% of the total budget of function evaluations (FEs), and consecutively the search is intensified by using a modified Group Search Optimizer (GSO), in each detected sub-region. GSO, invoked in each sub-region discovered with IWO, is continued for 20% of the total budget of FEs. Both IWO and GSO have been modified from their original forms to meet the demands of the multimodal problems used in this work. Performance of the proposed algorithm is compared with a number of state-of-the-art multimodal optimization algorithms over a benchmark-suite comprising of 21 basic multimodal problems and 7 composite multimodal problems. A practical multimodal optimization problem concerning the design of dielectric composites has also been used to test the performance of the algorithm. Experimental results suggest that the proposed technique is able to provide better and more consistent performance over the existing well-known multimodal algorithms for majority of the test problems without incurring any serious computational burden. 相似文献

This paper presents a proposal for multiobjective Invasive Weed Optimization (IWO) based on nondominated sorting of the solutions. IWO is an ecologically inspired stochastic optimization algorithm which has shown successful results for global optimization. In the present work, performance of the proposed nondominated sorting IWO (NSIWO) algorithm is evaluated through a number of well-known benchmarks for multiobjective optimization. The simulation results of the test problems show that this algorithm is comparable with other multiobjective evolutionary algorithms and is also capable of finding better spread of solutions in some cases. Next, the proposed algorithm is employed to study the Pareto improvement model in two complex electricity markets. First, the Pareto improvement solution set is obtained for a three-player oligopolistic electricity market with a nonlinear demand function. Then, the IEEE 30-bus power system with transmission constraints is considered, and the Pareto improvement solutions are found for the model with deterministic cost functions. In addition, NSIWO algorithm is used to analyze this system with stochastic cost data in a risk management problem which maximizes the expected total profit but minimizes the profit risk in the market. 相似文献

We present a new hybrid method for solving constrained numerical and engineering optimization problems in this paper. The proposed hybrid method takes advantage of the differential evolution (DE) ability to find global optimum in problems with complex design spaces while directly enforcing feasibility of constraints using a modified augmented Lagrangian multiplier method. The basic steps of the proposed method are comprised of an outer iteration, in which the Lagrangian multipliers and various penalty parameters are updated using a first-order update scheme, and an inner iteration, in which a nonlinear optimization of the modified augmented Lagrangian function with simple bound constraints is implemented by a modified differential evolution algorithm. Experimental results based on several well-known constrained numerical and engineering optimization problems demonstrate that the proposed method shows better performance in comparison to the state-of-the-art algorithms. 相似文献

In this paper, we propose a method for solving constrained optimization problems using interval analysis combined with particle swarm optimization. A set inverter via interval analysis algorithm is used to handle constraints in order to reduce constrained optimization to quasi unconstrained one. The algorithm is useful in the detection of empty search spaces, preventing useless executions of the optimization process. To improve computational efficiency, a space cleaning algorithm is used to remove solutions that are certainly not optimal. As a result, the search space becomes smaller at each step of the optimization procedure. After completing pre-processing, a modified particle swarm optimization algorithm is applied to the reduced search space to find the global optimum. The efficiency of the proposed approach is demonstrated through comprehensive experimentation involving 100 000 runs on a set of well-known benchmark constrained engineering design problems. The computational efficiency of the new method is quantified by comparing its results with other PSO variants found in the literature. 相似文献

Dynamic optimization problems challenge traditional evolutionary algorithms seriously since they, once converged, cannot adapt quickly to environmental changes. This paper investigates the application of memetic algorithms, a class of hybrid evolutionary algorithms, for dynamic optimization problems. An adaptive hill climbing method is proposed as the local search technique in the framework of memetic algorithms, which combines the features of greedy crossover-based hill climbing and steepest mutation-based hill climbing. In order to address the convergence problem, two diversity maintaining methods, called adaptive dual mapping and triggered random immigrants, respectively, are also introduced into the proposed memetic algorithm for dynamic optimization problems. Based on a series of dynamic problems generated from several stationary benchmark problems, experiments are carried out to investigate the performance of the proposed memetic algorithm in comparison with some peer evolutionary algorithms. The experimental results show the efficiency of the proposed memetic algorithm in dynamic environments. 相似文献

Evolutionary multi-objective optimization algorithms are generally employed to generate Pareto optimal solutions by exploring the search space. To enhance the performance, exploration by global search can be complemented with exploitation by combining it with local search. In this paper, we address the issues in integrating local search with global search such as: how to select individuals for local search; how deep the local search is performed; how to combine multiple objectives into single objective for local search. We introduce a Preferential Local Search mechanism to fine tune the global optimal solutions further and an adaptive weight mechanism for combining multi-objectives together. These ideas have been integrated into NSGA-II to arrive at a new memetic algorithm for solving multi-objective optimization problems. The proposed algorithm has been applied on a set of constrained and unconstrained multi-objective benchmark test suite. The performance was analyzed by computing different metrics such as Generational distance, Spread, Max spread, and HyperVolume Ratio for the test suite functions. Statistical test applied on the results obtained suggests that the proposed algorithm outperforms the state-of-art multi-objective algorithms like NSGA-II and SPEA2. To study the performance of our algorithm on a real-world application, Economic Emission Load Dispatch was also taken up for validation. The performance was studied with the help of measures such as Hypervolume and Set Coverage Metrics. Experimental results substantiate that our algorithm has the capability to solve real-world problems like Economic Emission Load Dispatch and is able to produce better solutions, when compared with NSGA-II, SPEA2, and traditional memetic algorithms with fixed local search steps. 相似文献

In this paper, we present a multi-surrogates assisted memetic algorithm for solving optimization problems with computationally
expensive fitness functions. The essential backbone of our framework is an evolutionary algorithm coupled with a local search
solver that employs multi-surrogate in the spirit of Lamarckian learning. Inspired by the notion of ‘blessing and curse of
uncertainty’ in approximation models, we combine regression and exact interpolating surrogate models in the evolutionary search.
Empirical results are presented for a series of commonly used benchmark problems to demonstrate that the proposed framework
converges to good solution quality more efficiently than the standard genetic algorithm, memetic algorithm and surrogate-assisted
memetic algorithms. 相似文献
