How to solve constrained optimization problems constitutes an important part of the research on optimization problems. In this paper, a hybrid immune clonal particle swarm optimization multi-objective algorithm is proposed to solve constrained optimization problems. In the proposed algorithm, the population is first initialized with the theory of good point set. Then, differential evolution is adopted to improve the local optimal solution of each particle, with immune clonal strategy incorporated to improve each particle. As a final step, sub-swarm is used to enhance the position and velocity of individual particle. The new algorithm has been tested on 24 standard test functions and three engineering optimization problems, whose results show that the new algorithm has good performance in both robustness and convergence.

Multi Objective

Real-world problems are often complex and may need to deal with constrained optimization problems (COPs). This has led to a growing interest in optimization techniques that involve more than one objective function to be simultaneously optimized. Accordingly, at the end of the multi-objective optimization process, there will be more than one solution to be considered. This enables a trade-off of high-quality solutions and provides options to the decision-maker to choose a solution based on qualitative preferences. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithms are increasingly being used to solve NP-hard and constrained optimization problems that involve multi-objective mathematical representations by finding accurate and robust solutions. PSOs are currently used in many real-world applications, including (but not limited to) medical diagnosis, image processing, speech recognition, chemical reactor, weather forecasting, system identification, reactive power control, stock exchange market, and economic power generation. In this paper, a new version of Multi-objective PSO and Differential Evolution (MOPSO-DE) is proposed to solve constrained optimization problems (COPs). As presented in this paper, the proposed MOPSO-DE scheme incorporates a new leader(s) updating mechanism that is invoked when the system is under the risk of converging to premature solutions, parallel islands mechanism, adaptive mutation, and then integrated to the DE in order to update the particles’ best position in the search-space. A series of experiments are conducted using 12 well-known benchmark test problems collected from the 2006 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (CEC2006) to verify the feasibility, performance, and effectiveness of the proposed MOPSO-DE algorithm. The simulation results show the proposed MOPSO-DE is highly competitive and is able to obtain the optimal solutions for the all test problems.

Hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization

In attempting to overcome the limitation of current methods to solve complicated constrained optimization problems, this paper proposes an adaptive hybrid particle swarm optimization multi-objective optimization (AHPSOMO) algorithm. In the early stage, this algorithm initializes the individuals in a population in an even manner using good point set (GPS) theory so that the diversity of the population can be guaranteed. In the process of local search, differential evolution (DE) algorithm is introduced for updating local optimal individuals. Particle swarm optimization method is further adopted to conduct global search as per the multi-objective approach. The results of simulation tests on 24 classic test functions and three engineering constrained optimization problems show that compared with other algorithms, our proposed algorithm is effective and feasible, which can offer highly accurate solutions with good robustness.
