FRPSO: Fletcher–Reeves based particle swarm optimization for multimodal function optimization

Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a population-based optimization tool that is inspired by the collective intelligent behavior of birds seeking food. It can be easily implemented and applied to solve various function optimization problems. However, relatively few researchers have explored the potential of PSO for multimodal problems. Although PSO is a simple, easily implemented, and powerful technique, it has a tendency to get trapped in a local optimum. This premature convergence makes it difficult to find global optimum solutions for multimodal problems. A hybrid Fletcher–Reeves based PSO (FRPSO) method is proposed in this paper. It is based on the idea of increasing exploitation of the local optimum, while maintaining a good exploration capability for finding better solutions. In FRPSO, standard PSO is used to update the particle’s current position, which is then further refined by the Fletcher–Reeves conjugate gradient method. This enhances the performance of standard PSO. The results of experiments conducted on seventeen benchmark test functions demonstrate that the proposed method shows superior performance on a set of multimodal functions when compared with standard PSO, a genetic algorithm (GA) and fitness distance ratio PSO (FDRPSO).     

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.

A modified PSO algorithm with dynamic parameters for solving complex engineering design problem

This paper proposed a new approach of particle swarm optimization (PSO). The proposed modified PSO algorithm is equipped with some specially designed mechanisms of adaptively updating algorithm parameters to preserve the diversity of the swarm and to keep the balance between exploration and exploitation searches. All these mechanisms help the algorithm to avoid the premature convergence and to strengthen its robustness. Experiments are conducted on different complicated, unimodal and multimodal test functions, as well as a typical engineering inverse problem, the TEAM Workshop problem 22. The numerical results illustrate that the proposed PSO shows better performance as compared to other well developed evolutionary algorithms.     

Enhancing particle swarm optimization using generalized opposition-based learning

Particle swarm optimization (PSO) has been shown to yield good performance for solving various optimization problems. However, it tends to suffer from premature convergence when solving complex problems. This paper presents an enhanced PSO algorithm called GOPSO, which employs generalized opposition-based learning (GOBL) and Cauchy mutation to overcome this problem. GOBL can provide a faster convergence, and the Cauchy mutation with a long tail helps trapped particles escape from local optima. The proposed approach uses a similar scheme as opposition-based differential evolution (ODE) with opposition-based population initialization and generation jumping using GOBL. Experiments are conducted on a comprehensive set of benchmark functions, including rotated multimodal problems and shifted large-scale problems. The results show that GOPSO obtains promising performance on a majority of the test problems.     

Gradient-based adaptive particle swarm optimizer with improved extremal optimization

Most real-world applications can be formulated as optimization problems, which commonly suffer from being trapped into the local optima. In this paper, we make full use of the global search capability of particle swarm optimization (PSO) and local search ability of extremal optimization (EO), and propose a gradient-based adaptive PSO with improved EO (called GAPSO-IEO) to overcome the issue of local optima deficiency of optimization in high-dimensional search and reduce the time complexity of the algorithm. In the proposed algorithm, the improved EO (IEO) is adaptively incorporated into PSO to avoid the particles being trapped into the local optima according to the evolutional states of the swarm, which are estimated based on the gradients of the fitness functions of the particles. We also improve the mutation strategy of EO by performing polynomial mutation (PLM) on each particle, instead of on each component of the particle, therefore, the algorithm is not sensitive to the dimension of the swarm. The proposed algorithm is tested on several unimodal/multimodal benchmark functions and Berkeley Segmentation Dataset and Benchmark (BSDS300). The results of experiments have shown the superiority and efficiency of the proposed approach compared with those of the state-of-the-art algorithms, and can achieve better performance in high-dimensional tasks.

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.

The focus of this research is on a hybrid method combining two heuristic optimization techniques, genetic algorithms (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO), for the global optimization of multimodal functions. Denoted as GA-PSO, this hybrid technique incorporates concepts from GA and PSO and creates individuals in a new generation not only by crossover and mutation operations as found in GA but also by mechanisms of PSO. The results of various experimental studies using a suite of 17 multimodal test functions taken from the literature have demonstrated the superiority of the hybrid GA-PSO approach over the other four search techniques in terms of solution quality and convergence rates.
