A modified particle swarm optimization with multiple subpopulations for multimodal function optimization problems

In this paper, a modified particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is developed for solving multimodal function optimization problems. The difference between the proposed method and the general PSO is to split up the original single population into several subpopulations according to the order of particles. The best particle within each subpopulation is recorded and then applied into the velocity updating formula to replace the original global best particle in the whole population. To update all particles in each subpopulation, the modified velocity formula is utilized. Based on the idea of multiple subpopulations, for the multimodal function optimization the several optima including the global and local solutions may probably be found by these best particles separately. To show the efficiency of the proposed method, two kinds of function optimizations are provided, including a single modal function optimization and a complex multimodal function optimization. Simulation results will demonstrate the convergence behavior of particles by the number of iterations, and the global and local system solutions are solved by these best particles of subpopulations.

The improvement of glowworm swarm optimization for continuous optimization problems

Glowworm swarm optimization (GSO) algorithm is the one of the newest nature inspired heuristics for optimization problems. In order to enhances accuracy and convergence rate of the GSO, two strategies about the movement phase of GSO are proposed. One is the greedy acceptance criteria for the glowworms update their position one-dimension by one-dimension. The other is the new movement formulas which are inspired by artificial bee colony algorithm (ABC) and particle swarm optimization (PSO). To compare and analyze the performance of our proposed improvement GSO, a number of experiments are carried out on a set of well-known benchmark global optimization problems. The effects of the parameters about the improvement algorithms are discussed by uniform design experiment. Numerical results reveal that the proposed algorithms can find better solutions when compared to classical GSO and other heuristic algorithms and are powerful search algorithms for various global optimization problems.

Adaptive fuzzy particle swarm optimization for global optimization of multimodal functions

This paper proposes an adaptive fuzzy PSO (AFPSO) algorithm, based on the standard particle swarm optimization (SPSO) algorithm. The proposed AFPSO utilizes fuzzy set theory to adjust PSO acceleration coefficients adaptively, and is thereby able to improve the accuracy and efficiency of searches. Incorporating this algorithm with quadratic interpolation and crossover operator further enhances the global searching capability to form a new variant, called AFPSO-QI. We compared the proposed AFPSO and its variant AFPSO-QI with SPSO, quadratic interpolation PSO (QIPSO), unified PSO (UPSO), fully informed particle swarm (FIPS), dynamic multi-swarm PSO (DMSPSO), and comprehensive learning PSO (CLPSO) across sixteen benchmark functions. The proposed algorithms performed well when applied to minimization problems for most of the multimodal functions considered.     

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.

A new gradient based particle swarm optimization algorithm for accurate computation of global minimum

Stochastic optimization algorithms like genetic algorithms (GAs) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithms perform global optimization but waste computational effort by doing a random search. On the other hand deterministic algorithms like gradient descent converge rapidly but may get stuck in local minima of multimodal functions. Thus, an approach that combines the strengths of stochastic and deterministic optimization schemes but avoids their weaknesses is of interest. This paper presents a new hybrid optimization algorithm that combines the PSO algorithm and gradient-based local search algorithms to achieve faster convergence and better accuracy of final solution without getting trapped in local minima. In the new gradient-based PSO algorithm, referred to as the GPSO algorithm, the PSO algorithm is used for global exploration and a gradient based scheme is used for accurate local exploration. The global minimum is located by a process of finding progressively better local minima. The GPSO algorithm avoids the use of inertial weights and constriction coefficients which can cause the PSO algorithm to converge to a local minimum if improperly chosen. The De Jong test suite of benchmark optimization problems was used to test the new algorithm and facilitate comparison with the classical PSO algorithm. The GPSO algorithm is compared to four different refinements of the PSO algorithm from the literature and shown to converge faster to a significantly more accurate final solution for a variety of benchmark test functions.
