Seeker optimisation (human group optimisation) algorithm with chaos

Seeker optimisation algorithm (SOA), also referred to as human group metaheuristic optimisation algorithms form a very hot area of research, is an emerging population-based and gradient-free optimisation tool. It is inspired by searching behaviour of human beings in finding an optimal solution. The principal shortcoming of SOA is that it is easily trapped in local optima and consequently fails to achieve near-global solutions in complex optimisation problems. In an attempt to relieve this problem, in this article, chaos-based strategies are embedded into SOA. Five various chaotic-based SOA strategies with four different chaotic map functions are examined and the best strategy is chosen as the suitable chaotic scheme for SOA. The results of applying the proposed chaotic SOA to miscellaneous benchmark functions confirm that it provides accurate solutions. It surpasses basic SOA, genetic algorithm, gravitational search algorithm variant, cuckoo search optimisation algorithm, firefly swarm optimisation and harmony search the proposed chaos-based SOA is expected successfully solve complex engineering optimisation problems.     

The multi-disciplinary design of a large-scale civil aircraft wing taking account of manufacturing costs

This paper presents results from a major research programme funded by the European Union and involving 14 partners from across the Union. It shows how a complex tool set was assembled which was able to optimise a large civil airliner wing for weight, drag and cost. A multi-level MDO process was constructed and implemented through a hierarchical system in which cost comprised the top level. Conventional structural sizing parameters were employed to optimise structural weight but the upper-level optimisation used 6 overall design variables representing major design parameters. The paper concludes by presenting results from a case study which included all the components of the total design system.     

Dynamic Ant Colony Optimisation

Ant Colony optimisation has proved suitable to solve static optimisation problems, that is problems that do not change with time. However in the real world changing circumstances may mean that a previously optimum solution becomes suboptimal. This paper explores the ability of the ant colony optimisation algorithm to adapt from the optimum solution for one set of circumstances to the optimal solution for another set of circumstances. Results are given for a preliminary investigation based on the classical travelling salesman problem. It is concluded that, for this problem at least, the time taken for the solution adaption process is far shorter than the time taken to find the second optimum solution if the whole process is started over from scratch.     

Enhanced leader PSO (ELPSO): A new PSO variant for solving global optimisation problems

Particle swarm optimisation (PSO) is a well-established optimisation algorithm inspired from flocking behaviour of birds. The big problem in PSO is that it suffers from premature convergence, that is, in complex optimisation problems, it may easily get trapped in local optima. In this paper, a new PSO variant, named as enhanced leader PSO (ELPSO), is proposed for mitigating premature convergence problem. ELPSO is mainly based on a five-staged successive mutation strategy which is applied to swarm leader at each iteration. The experimental results confirm that in all terms of accuracy, scalability and convergence rate, ELPSO performs well.     

A new effective operator for the hybrid algorithm for solving global optimisation problems

Hybrid algorithms have been recently used to solve complex single-objective optimisation problems. The ultimate goal is to find an optimised global solution by using these algorithms. Based on the existing algorithms (HP_CRO, PSO, RCCRO), this study proposes a new hybrid algorithm called MPC (Mean-PSO-CRO), which utilises a new Mean-Search Operator. By employing this new operator, the proposed algorithm improves the search ability on areas of the solution space that the other operators of previous algorithms do not explore. Specifically, the Mean-Search Operator helps find the better solutions in comparison with other algorithms. Moreover, the authors have proposed two parameters for balancing local and global search and between various types of local search, as well. In addition, three versions of this operator, which use different constraints, are introduced. The experimental results on 23 benchmark functions, which are used in previous works, show that our framework can find better optimal or close-to-optimal solutions with faster convergence speed for most of the benchmark functions, especially the high-dimensional functions. Thus, the proposed algorithm is more effective in solving single-objective optimisation problems than the other existing algorithms.     

A genetic algorithm for combined topology and shape optimisations

A method to find optimal topology and shape of structures is presented. With the first the optimal distribution of an assigned mass is found using an approach based on homogenisation theory, that seeks in which elements of a meshed domain it is present mass; with the second the discontinuous boundaries are smoothed. The problem of the optimal topology search has an ON/OFF nature and has suggested the employment of genetic algorithms. Thus in this paper a genetic algorithm has been developed, which uses as design variables, in the topology optimisation, the relative densities (with respect to effective material density) 0 or 1 of each element of the structure and, in the shape one, the coordinates of the keypoints of changeable boundaries constituted by curves. In both the steps the aim is that to find the variable sets producing the maximum stiffness of the structure, respecting an upper limit on the employed mass. The structural evaluations are carried out with a FEM commercial code, linked to the algorithm. Some applications have been performed and results compared with solutions reported in literature.

Chaotic bat swarm optimisation (CBSO)

Bat swarm optimisation (BSO) is a novel heuristic optimisation algorithm that is being used for solving different global optimisation problems. The paramount problem in BSO is that it severely suffers from premature convergence problem, that is, BSO is easily trapped in local optima. In this paper, chaotic-based strategies are incorporated into BSO to mitigate this problem. Ergodicity and non-repetitious nature of chaotic functions can diversify the bats and mitigate premature convergence problem. Eleven different chaotic map functions along with various chaotic BSO strategies are investigated experimentally and the best one is chosen as the suitable chaotic strategy for BSO. The results of applying the proposed chaotic BSO to different benchmark functions vividly show that premature convergence problem has been mitigated efficiently. Actually, chaotic-based BSO significantly outperforms conventional BSO, cuckoo search optimisation (CSO), big bang-big crunch algorithm (BBBC), gravitational search algorithm (GSA) and genetic algorithm (GA).     

Finding the maximal membership in a fuzzy set of an element from another fuzzy set

The problem of finding the maximal membership grade in a fuzzy set of an element from another fuzzy set is an important class of optimisation problems manifested in the real world by situations in which we try to find what is the optimal financial satisfaction we can get from a socially responsible investment. Here, we provide a solution to this problem. We then look at the proposed solution for fuzzy sets with various types of membership grades, ordinal, interval value and intuitionistic.
