A nondeterministic polynomial (NP) with complete Multicast routing problem is defined using a bi-velocity particle swarm optimization (BVDPSO) is proposed in this paper. The shift of particle swarm optimization to the discrete or binary domain, stepping away from the continuous domain is the major impact of the work. Initially a bi-velocity strategy is built such that it characterizes each dimension in terms of 0 and 1. The basic function of this strategy is to describe the MRP’s binary characteristics such that 0 stands for the node not being selected while 1 stands for selection. Based on the location and velocity of the original PSO in the continuous domain, the BVDPSO is updated. This will preserve the global search ability and fast convergence speed of the original PSO. 58 instances of large, medium and small scales are used for experimentation in the OR-Library. Based on the results, it is identified that it is possible to get near-optimal or optimal solutions for BVDPSO as it requires generation of limited multicast trees. This approach is found to be optimal over its peers and outperforms recent heuristic algorithms and many advanced techniques used for the MRP problem. They also outperform several PSO, ant colony optimization and genetic algorithms.

The quality of service (QoS) multicast routing problem is one of the main issues for transmission in communication networks. It is known to be an NP-hard problem, so many heuristic algorithms have been employed to solve the multicast routing problem and find the optimal multicast tree which satisfies the requirements of multiple QoS constraints such as delay, delay jitter, bandwidth and packet loss rate. In this paper, we propose an improved chaotic binary bat algorithm to solve the QoS multicast routing problem. We introduce two modification methods into the binary bat algorithm. First, we use the two most representative chaotic maps, namely the logistic map and the tent map, to determine the parameter [Formula: see text] of the pulse frequency [Formula: see text]. Second, we use a dynamic formulation to update the parameter α of the loudness [Formula: see text]. The aim of these modifications is to enhance the performance and the robustness of the binary bat algorithm and ensure the diversity of the solutions. The simulation results reveal the superiority, effectiveness and efficiency of our proposed algorithms compared with some well-known algorithms such as Genetic Algorithm (GA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Jumping Particle Swarm Optimization (JPSO), and Binary Bat Algorithm (BBA).

Purpose The current work shows an approach to solve the QoS multicast routing problem by using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). The problem of finding a route from a source node to multiple destination nodes (multicast) at a minimum cost is an NP-Complete problem (Steiner tree problem) and is even greater if Quality of Service -QoS- constraints are taken into account. Thus, approximation algorithms are necessary to solve this problem. This work presents a routing algorithm with two QoS constraints (delay and delay variation) for solving the routing problem based on a modified version of particle swarm optimization. Design/methodology/approach This work involved the following methodology: 1. Literature Review 2. Routing algorithm design 3. Implementation of the designed routing algorithm by java programming. 4. Simulations and results. Findings In this work we compared our routing algorithm against the exhaustive search approach. The results showed that our algorithm improves the execution times in about 40% with different topologies. Research limitations/implications The algorithm was tested in three different topologies with 30, 40 and 50 nodes with and a dense graph topology. Originality/value Our algorithm implements a novel technique for fine tuning the parameters of the implemented bio-inspired model (Particles Swarm Optimization) by using a Genetic Meta-Optimizer. We also present a simple and multi implementation approach by using an encoding system that fits multiple bio-inspired models.

Generally, transportation costs account for approximately half of the total operation expenses of a logistics firm. Therefore, any effort to optimize the planning of vehicle routing would be substantially beneficial to the company. This study focuses on a postman delivery routing problem of the Chiang Rai post office, located in the Chiang Rai province of Thailand. In this study, two metaheuristic methods—particle swarm optimization (PSO) and differential evolution (DE)—were applied with particular solution representation to find delivery routings with minimum travel distances. The performances of PSO and DE were compared along with those from current practices. The results showed that PSO and DE clearly outperformed the actual routing of the current practices in all the operational days examined. Moreover, DE performances were notably superior to those of PSO.

Bearing-only target motion analysis (BO-TMA) by batch processing remains a challenge due to the lack of information on underwater target maneuvering and the nonlinearity of sensor measurements. Traditional batch estimation for BO-TMA is mainly performed based on deterministic algorithms, and studies performed with heuristic algorithms have recently been reported. However, since the two algorithms have their own advantages and disadvantages, interest in a hybrid method that complements the disadvantages and combines the advantages of the two algorithms is increasing. In this study, we proposed Newton–Raphson particle swarm optimization (NRPSO): a hybrid method that combines the Newton–Raphson method and the particle swarm optimization method, which are representative methods that utilize deterministic and heuristic algorithms, respectively. The BO-TMA performance obtained using the proposed NRPSO was tested by varying the measurement noise and number of measurements for three targets with different maneuvers. The results showed that the advantages of both methods were well combined, which improved the performance.

This paper addresses the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP) with a homogenous fleet of vehicles serving a large customer base. The authors propose a multi-phase heuristic that clusters the nodes based on proximity, orients them along a route, and allots vehicles. For the final phase of determining the routes for each vehicle, they have developed a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) approach. Benchmark datasets as well as hypothetical datasets have been used for computational trials. The proposed heuristic is found to perform exceedingly well even for large problem instances, both in terms of quality of solutions and in terms of computational effort.
