基于局部并行搜索的分布式约束优化算法框架

针对当前局部搜索算法在求解大规模、高密度的分布式约束优化问题（DCOP）时,求解困难且难以跳出局部最优取得进一步优化等问题,提出一种基于局部并行搜索的分布式约束优化算法框架（LPOS）,算法中agent通过自身的取值并行地搜索局部所有邻居取值来进一步扩大对解空间的搜索,从而避免算法过早陷入局部最优。为了保证算法的收敛性与稳定性,设计了一种自适应平衡因子K来平衡算法对解的开发和继承能力,并在理论层面证明了并行搜索优化算法可以扩大对解空间的搜索,自适应平衡因子K可以实现平衡目的。综合实验结果表明,基于该算法框架的算法在求解低密度和高密度DCOP时性能都优于目前最新的算法。特别是在求解高密度DCOP中有显著的提升。     

A Quasi-Oppositional-Chaotic Symbiotic Organisms Search algorithm for global optimization problems

This study proposes an improved version of the Symbiotic Organisms Search (SOS) algorithm called Quasi-Oppositional Chaotic Symbiotic Organisms Search (QOCSOS). This improved algorithm integrated Quasi-Opposition-Based Learning (QOBL) and Chaotic Local Search (CLS) strategies with SOS for a better quality solution and faster convergence. To demonstrate and validate the new algorithm’s effectiveness, the authors tested QOCSOS with twenty-six mathematical benchmark functions of different types and dimensions. In addition, QOCSOS optimized placements for distributed generation (DG) units in radial distribution networks and solved five structural design optimization problems, as practical optimization problems challenges. Comparative results showed that QOCSOS provided more accurate solutions than SOS and other methods, suggesting viability in dealing with global optimization problems.

A hybrid algorithm combining glowworm swarm optimization and complete 2-opt algorithm for spherical travelling salesman problems

The Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) is one of the most well-known combinatorial optimization problems and has attracted a lot of interests from researchers. Many studies have proposed various methods for solving the two-dimensional TSP. In this study, we extend the two-dimensional TSP to the three-dimensional TSP, namely the spherical TSP in which all points (cities) and paths (solutions) are on the surface of a sphere. A hybrid algorithm based on the glowworm swarm optimization (GSO) and the complete 2-opt algorithm is proposed, in which the carriers of the luciferin are transformed from glowworms to edges between cities, and the probabilistic formula and the luciferin updating formula are modified. In addition, the complete 2-opt algorithm is performed to optimize the selected optimal routes every few iterations. Numerical experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has a better performance than the basic GSO in solving the spherical TSP. Meanwhile, the complete 2-opt algorithm can speed up the convergence rate.     

Modified harmony search optimization for constrained design problems

Constrained optimization is a major real-world problem. Constrained optimization problems consist of an objective function subjected to both linear and nonlinear constraints. Here a constraint handling procedure based on the fitness priority-based ranking method (FPBRM) is proposed. It is embedded into a harmony search (HS) algorithm that allows it to satisfy constraints. The HS algorithm is conceptualized using the musical process of searching for a perfect state of harmony. Here, the original heuristic HS was improved by combining both improved and global-best methods along with the FPBRM. The resulting modified harmony search (MHS) was then compared with the original HS technique and other optimization methods for several test problems.     

A stochastic local search algorithm for constrained continuous global optimization

This paper presents a new stochastic local search algorithm known as feasible–infeasible search procedure (FISP) for constrained continuous global optimization. The proposed procedure uses metaheuristic strategies for combinatorial optimization as well as combined strategies for exploring continuous spaces, which are applied to an efficient process in increasingly refined neighborhoods of current points. We show effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed procedure on a standard set of 13 well‐known test problems. Furthermore, we compare the performance of FISP with SNOPT (sparse nonlinear optimizer) and with few successful existing stochastic algorithms on the same set of test problems.

Non-parametric particle swarm optimization for global optimization

In recent years, particle swarm optimization (PSO) has extensively applied in various optimization problems because of its simple structure. Although the PSO may find local optima or exhibit slow convergence speed when solving complex multimodal problems. Also, the algorithm requires setting several parameters, and tuning the parameters is a challenging for some optimization problems. To address these issues, an improved PSO scheme is proposed in this study. The algorithm, called non-parametric particle swarm optimization (NP-PSO) enhances the global exploration and the local exploitation in PSO without tuning any algorithmic parameter. NP-PSO combines local and global topologies with two quadratic interpolation operations to increase the search ability. Nineteen (19) unimodal and multimodal nonlinear benchmark functions are selected to compare the performance of NP-PSO with several well-known PSO algorithms. The experimental results showed that the proposed method considerably enhances the efficiency of PSO algorithm in terms of solution accuracy, convergence speed, global optimality, and algorithm reliability.

Mathematical modeling of a parallel global optimization algorithm

We describe the formation of a mathematical model of a reasonably complex parallel global optimization program, and the use of this model to assist in the development and understanding of the underlying parallel algorithm. First we discuss the formation of a model that accurately matched execution times of the parallel program on an Intel hypercube. Then we discuss the use of this model to simulate the behavior of our parallel algorithm in a variety of new situations, in order to detect weaknesses in the parallel algorithm and analyze possible improvements to it. We believe that this combination of parallel computer implementation and mathematical modeling is a useful approach in parallel algorithm development.
