Engineering Optimization Problems

PurposeBat algorithm (BA) is a global optimization method, but has a worse performance on engineering optimization problems. The purpose of this study is to propose a novel chaotic bat algorithm based on catfish effect (CE-CBA), which can effectively deal with optimization problems in real-world applications.Design/methodology/approachIncorporating chaos strategy and catfish effect, the proposed algorithm can not only enhance the ability for local search but also improve the ability to escape from local optima traps. On the one hand, the performance of CE-CBA has been evaluated by a set of numerical experiment based on classical benchmark functions. On the other hand, five benchmark engineering design problems have been also used to test CE-CBA.FindingsThe statistical results of the numerical experiment show the significant improvement of CE-CBA compared with the standard algorithms and improved bat algorithms. Moreover, the feasibility and effectiveness of CE-CBA in solving engineering optimization problems are demonstrated.Originality/valueThis paper proposed a novel BA with two improvement strategies including chaos strategy and catfish effect for the first time. Meanwhile, the proposed algorithm can be used to solve many real-world engineering optimization problems with several decision variables and constraints.

Swarm-based algorithm can successfully avoid the local optimal constraints, thus achieving a smooth balance between exploration and exploitation. Salp swarm algorithm(SSA), as a swarm-based algorithm on account of the predation behavior of the salp, can solve complex daily life optimization problems in nature. SSA also has the problems of local stagnation and slow convergence rate. This paper introduces an improved salp swarm algorithm, which improve the SSA by using the chaotic sequence initialization strategy and symmetric adaptive population division. Moreover, a simulated annealing mechanism based on symmetric perturbation is introduced to enhance the local jumping ability of the algorithm. The improved algorithm is referred to SASSA. The CEC standard benchmark functions are used to evaluate the efficiency of the SASSA and the results demonstrate that the SASSA has better global search capability. SASSA is also applied to solve engineering optimization problems. The experimental results demonstrate that the exploratory and exploitative proclivities of the proposed algorithm and its convergence patterns are vividly improved.

Abstract Parameter sensitivity for large-scale systems that include several components which interface in series is presented. Large-scale systems can be divided into components or sub-systems to avoid excessive calculations in determining their optimum design. Model Coordination Method of Decomposition (MCMD) is one of the most commonly used methods to solve large-scale engineering optimization problems. In the Model Coordination Method of Decomposition, the vector of coordinating variables can be partitioned into two sub-vectors for systems with several components interacting in series. The first sub-vector consists of those variables that are common among all or most of the elements. The other sub-vector consists of those variables that are common between only two components that are in series. This study focuses on a parameter sensitivity analysis for this special case using MCMD.
