Abstract: | In this paper, the basic characteristics of particle swarm optimization (PSO) for the global search are discussed at first, and then the PSO for the mixed discrete nonlinear problems (MDNLP) is suggested. The penalty function approach to handle the discrete design variables is employed, in which the discrete design variables are handled as the continuous ones by penalizing at the intervals. As a result, a useful method to determine the penalty parameter of penalty term for the discrete design variables is proposed. Through typical mathematical and structural optimization problems, the validity of the proposed approach for the MDNLP is examined. |
