Global Simplex Optimization—A simple and efficient metaheuristic for continuous optimization

A new hybrid optimization algorithm is proposed for minimization of continuous multi-modal functions. The algorithm called Global Simplex Optimization (GSO) is a population set based Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) incorporating a special multi-stage, stochastic and weighted version of the reflection operator of the classical simplex method. An optional mutation operator has also been tested and then removed from the structure of the final algorithm in favor of simplicity and because of insignificant effect on performance. The promising performance achieved by GSO is demonstrated by comparisons made to some other state-of-the-art global optimization algorithms over a set of conventional benchmark problems.     

Galactic Swarm Optimization: A new global optimization metaheuristic inspired by galactic motion

This paper proposes a new global optimization metaheuristic called Galactic Swarm Optimization (GSO) inspired by the motion of stars, galaxies and superclusters of galaxies under the influence of gravity. GSO employs multiple cycles of exploration and exploitation phases to strike an optimal trade-off between exploration of new solutions and exploitation of existing solutions. In the explorative phase different subpopulations independently explore the search space and in the exploitative phase the best solutions of different subpopulations are considered as a superswarm and moved towards the best solutions found by the superswarm. In this paper subpopulations as well as the superswarm are updated using the PSO algorithm. However, the GSO approach is quite general and any population based optimization algorithm can be used instead of the PSO algorithm. Statistical test results indicate that the GSO algorithm proposed in this paper significantly outperforms 4 state-of-the-art PSO algorithms and 4 multiswarm PSO algorithms on an overwhelming majority of 15 benchmark optimization problems over 50 independent trials and up to 50 dimensions. Extensive simulation results show that the GSO algorithm proposed in this paper converges faster to a significantly more accurate solution on a wide variety of high dimensional and multimodal benchmark optimization problems.     

Glowworm swarm optimization algorithm with topsis for solving multiple objective environmental economic dispatch problem

A new glowworm swarm optimization (GSO) algorithm is proposed to find the optimal solution for multiple objective environmental economic dispatch (MOEED) problem. In this proposed approach, technique for order preference similar to an ideal solution (TOPSIS) is employed as an overall fitness ranking tool to evaluate the multiple objectives simultaneously. In addition, a time varying step size is incorporated in the GSO algorithm to get better performance. Finally, to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed combination of GSO algorithm with TOPSIS (GSO–T) approach is examined in four different test cases. Simulation results have revealed the capabilities of the proposed GSO–T approach to find the optimal solution for MOEED problem. The comparison with own coded weighted sum method incorporated GSO (WGSO) and other methods reported in literatures exhibit the superiority of the proposed GSO–T approach and also the results confirm the potential of the proposed GSO–T approach to solve the MOEED problem.     

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.     

An improved group search optimizer with operation of quantum-behaved swarm and its application

Group search optimizer (GSO) is a novel swarm intelligent (SI) algorithm for continuous optimization problem. The framework of the algorithm is mainly based on the producer-scrounger (PS) model. Comparing with ant colony optimization (ACO) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithms, GSO emphasizes more on imitating searching behavior of animals. In standard GSO algorithm, more than 80% individuals are chosen as scroungers, and the producer is the one and only destination of them. When the producer cannot found a better position than the old one in some successive iterations, the scroungers will almost move to the same place, the group might be trapped into local optima though a small quantity of rangers are used to improve the diversity of it. To improve the convergence performance of GSO, an improved GSO optimizer with quantum-behaved operator for scroungers according to a certain probability is presented in the paper. In the method, the scroungers are divided into two parts, the scroungers in the first part update their positions with the operators of QPSO, and the remainders keep searching for opportunities to join the resources found by the producer. The operators of QPSO are utilized to improve the diversity of population for GSO. The improved GSO algorithm (IGSO) is tested on several benchmark functions and applied to train single multiplicative neuron model. The results of the experiments indicate that IGSO is competitive to some other EAs.
