Design of water distribution networks using accelerated momentum particle swarm optimisation technique

Optimisation of looped water distribution networks (WDNs) has been recognised as an NP-hard combinatorial problem which cannot be easily solved using traditional mathematical optimisation techniques. This article proposes the use of a new version of heuristic particle swarm optimisation (PSO) for solving this problem. In order to increase the convergence speed of the original PSO algorithm, some accelerated parameters are introduced to the velocity update equation. Furthermore, momentum parts are added to the PSO position updating formula to get away from trapping in local optimums. The new version of the PSO algorithm is called accelerated momentum particle swarm optimisation (AMPSO). The proposed AMPSO is then applied to solve WDN design problems. Some illustrative and comparative illustrative examples are presented to show the efficiency of the introduced AMPSO compared with some other heuristic algorithms.

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.

Superior solution guided particle swarm optimization combined with local search techniques

Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is an evolutionary algorithm known for its simplicity and effectiveness in solving various optimization problems. PSO should have strong yet balanced exploration and exploitation capabilities to enhance its performance. A superior solution guided PSO (SSG-PSO) framework integrated with an individual level based mutation operator and different local search techniques is proposed in this study. In SSG-PSO, a collection of superior solutions is maintained and updated with the evolutionary process, such that each particle can comprehensively learn from the recorded superior solutions. In addition, to maintain the diversity of the particle swarm, SSG-PSO is combined with an individual level based mutation operator, which will be invoked when a particle is trapped in a local optimum (determined by the fitness and position states of the particle), thereby improving the adaptation and flexibility of each individual particle. Moreover, two gradient-based local search techniques, namely, the Broyden–Fletcher–Goldfarb–Shanno (BFGS) and Davidon–Fletcher–Powell (DFP) Quasi–Newton methods, and two derivative-free local search techniques, namely, pattern search and Nelder–Mead simplex search, are incorporated into SSG-PSO. The performances of SSG-PSO and that of its local search enhanced variants are extensively and comparatively studied on a suit of benchmark optimization functions.

Self-organizing hierarchical particle swarm optimizer with time-varying acceleration coefficients

This paper introduces a novel parameter automation strategy for the particle swarm algorithm and two further extensions to improve its performance after a predefined number of generations. Initially, to efficiently control the local search and convergence to the global optimum solution, time-varying acceleration coefficients (TVAC) are introduced in addition to the time-varying inertia weight factor in particle swarm optimization (PSO). From the basis of TVAC, two new strategies are discussed to improve the performance of the PSO. First, the concept of "mutation" is introduced to the particle swarm optimization along with TVAC (MPSO-TVAC), by adding a small perturbation to a randomly selected modulus of the velocity vector of a random particle by predefined probability. Second, we introduce a novel particle swarm concept "self-organizing hierarchical particle swarm optimizer with TVAC (HPSO-TVAC)". Under this method, only the "social" part and the "cognitive" part of the particle swarm strategy are considered to estimate the new velocity of each particle and particles are reinitialized whenever they are stagnated in the search space. In addition, to overcome the difficulties of selecting an appropriate mutation step size for different problems, a time-varying mutation step size was introduced. Further, for most of the benchmarks, mutation probability is found to be insensitive to the performance of MPSO-TVAC method. On the other hand, the effect of reinitialization velocity on the performance of HPSO-TVAC method is also observed. Time-varying reinitialization step size is found to be an efficient parameter optimization strategy for HPSO-TVAC method. The HPSO-TVAC strategy outperformed all the methods considered in this investigation for most of the functions. Furthermore, it has also been observed that both the MPSO and HPSO strategies perform poorly when the acceleration coefficients are fixed at two.
