Binary particle swarm optimization (BPSO) based state assignment for area minimization of sequential circuits

State assignment (SA) for finite state machines (FSMs) is one of the main optimization problems in the synthesis of sequential circuits. It determines the complexity of its combinational circuit and thus area, delay, testability and power dissipation of its implementation. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a non-deterministic heuristic that optimizes a problem by iteratively trying to improve a candidate solution with regard to a given measure of quality. PSO optimizes a problem by having a population of candidate solutions called particles, and moving them around in the search-space according to a simple mathematical formulae. In this paper, we propose an improved binary particle swarm optimization (BPSO) algorithm and demonstrate its effectiveness in solving the state assignment problem in sequential circuit synthesis targeting area optimization. It will be an evident that the proposed BPSO algorithm overcomes the drawbacks of the original BPSO algorithm. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed BPSO algorithm in comparison to other BPSO variants reported in the literature and in comparison to Genetic Algorithm (GA), Simulated Evolution (SimE) and deterministic algorithms like Jedi and Nova.

Prediction of TBM operation parameters using machine learning models based on BPSO

Rational parameters of TBM (Tunnel Boring Machine) are the key to ensuring efficient and safe tunnel construction. Machine learning (ML) has become the main method for predicting operating parameters. Grid Search and optimization algorithms, such as Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), are often used to find the hyper parameters of ML models but suffer from excessive time and low accuracy. In order to efficiently construct ML models and enhance the accuracy of predicting models, a BPSO (Beetle antennae search Particle Swarm Optimization) algorithm is proposed. Based on the PSO algorithm, the concept of BAS (Beetle Antennae Search) is integrated into the updating process of an individual particle, which improves the random search capability. The convergence of the BPSO algorithm is discussed in terms of inhomogeneous recursive equations and characteristic roots. Then, based on the proposed BPSO prototype, a hybrid ML model BPSO-XGBoost (eXtreme Gradient Boosting) is proposed. We applied the model to the Hangzhou Central Park tunnel project for the prediction of screw conveyer rotational speed. Finally, our model is compared with existing methods. The experimental results show that the BPSO-based model outperforms other traditional ML methods. The BPSO-XGBoost is more accurate than PSO-XGBoost and BPSO-RandomForest for predicting the speed. Also, it is verified that the hyper parameters optimized by the BPSO are better than those optimized by the original PSO. The comprehensive prediction performance ranking of models is as follows: BPSO-XGBoost > PSO-XGBoost > BPSO-RF > PSO-RF. Our models have preferable engineering application value.     

Design of an improved quantum-inspired evolutionary algorithm for a transportation problem in logistics systems

Logistics faces great challenges in vehicle schedule problem. Intelligence Technologies need to be developed for solving the transportation problem. This paper proposes an improved Quantum-Inspired Evolutionary Algorithm (IQEA), which is a hybrid algorithm of Quantum-Inspired Evolutionary Algorithm (QEA) and greed heuristics. It extends the standard QEA by combining its principles with some heuristics methods. The proposed algorithm has also been applied to optimize a problem which may happen in real life. The problem can be categorized as a vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW), which means the problem has many common characteristics that VRPTW has, but more constraints need to be considered. The basic idea of the proposed IQEA is to embed a greed heuristic method into the standard QEA for the optimal recombination of consignment subsequences. The consignment sequence is the order to arrange the vehicles for the transportation of the consignments. The consignment subsequences are generated by cutting the whole consignment sequence according to the values of quantum bits. The computational result of the simulation problem shows that IQEA is feasible in achieving a relatively optimal solution. The implementation of an optimized schedule can save much more cost than the initial schedule. It provides a promising, innovative approach for solving VRPTW and improves QEA for solving complexity problems with a number of constraints.     

Binary optimization using hybrid particle swarm optimization and gravitational search algorithm

The PSOGSA is a novel hybrid optimization algorithm, combining strengths of both particle swarm optimization (PSO) and gravitational search algorithm (GSA). It has been proven that this algorithm outperforms both PSO and GSA in terms of improved exploration and exploitation. The original version of this algorithm is well suited for problems with continuous search space. Some problems, however, have binary parameters. This paper proposes a binary version of hybrid PSOGSA called BPSOGSA to solve these kinds of optimization problems. The paper also considers integration of adaptive values to further balance exploration and exploitation of BPSOGSA. In order to evaluate the efficiencies of the proposed binary algorithm, 22 benchmark functions are employed and divided into three groups: unimodal, multimodal, and composite. The experimental results confirm better performance of BPSOGSA compared with binary gravitational search algorithm (BGSA), binary particle swarm optimization (BPSO), and genetic algorithm in terms of avoiding local minima and convergence rate.

A two-stage discrete particle swarm optimization for the problem of multiple multi-level redundancy allocation in series systems

Nowadays, the redundancy allocation problem (RAP) is increasingly becoming an important tool in the initial stages of or prior to planning, designing, and control of systems. The multiple multi-level redundancy allocation problem (MMRAP) is an extension of the traditional RAP such that all available items for redundancy (system, module and component) can be simultaneously chosen. In this paper, a novel particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO) called the two-stage discrete PSO (2DPSO) is presented to solve MMRAP in series systems such that some subsystems or modules consist of different components in series. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt to use a PSO to MMRAP. The proposed PSO used a totally new, very simple, effective and efficient mechanism to move to the next position without velocity. The result obtained by 2DPSO has been compared with those obtained by genetic algorithm (GA) and binary PSO (BPSO). Computational results show that the proposed 2DPSO is very competitive and performs well in the number of times it finds the best solutions, the average numbers of the earliest finding of the best solutions, and computation times.     

An exploratory research of elitist probability schema and its applications in evolutionary algorithms

An important problem in the study of evolutionary algorithms is how to continuously predict promising solutions while simultaneously escaping from local optima. In this paper, we propose an elitist probability schema (EPS) for the first time, to the best of our knowledge. Our schema is an index of binary strings that expresses the similarity of an elitist population at every string position. EPS expresses the accumulative effect of fitness selection with respect to the coding similarity of the population. For each generation, EPS can quantify the coding similarity of the population objectively and quickly. One of our key innovations is that EPS can continuously predict promising solutions while simultaneously escaping from local optima in most cases. To demonstrate the abilities of the EPS, we designed an elitist probability schema genetic algorithm and an elitist probability schema compact genetic algorithm. These algorithms are estimations of distribution algorithms (EDAs). We provided a fair comparison with the persistent elitist compact genetic algorithm (PeCGA), quantum-inspired evolutionary algorithm (QEA), and particle swarm optimization (PSO) for the 0–1 knapsack problem. The proposed algorithms converged quicker than PeCGA, QEA, and PSO, especially for the large knapsack problem. Furthermore, the computation time of the proposed algorithms was less than some EDAs that are based on building explicit probability models, and was approximately the same as QEA and PSO. This is acceptable for evolutionary algorithms, and satisfactory for EDAs. The proposed algorithms are successful with respect to convergence performance and computation time, which implies that EPS is satisfactory.
