The loss of the population diversity leads to the premature convergence in existing particle swarm optimization(PSO) algorithm. In order to solve this problem, a novel version of PSO algorithm called bacterial PSO(BacPSO), was proposed in this paper. In the new algorithm, the individuals were replaced by bacterial, and a new evolutionary mechanism was designed by the basic law of evolution of bacterial colony. Such evolutionary mechanism also generated a new natural termination criterion. Propagation and death operators were used to keep the population diversity of BacPSO. The simulation results show that BacPSO algorithm not only significantly improves convergence speed ,but also can converge to the global optimum.

For the purpose of overcoming the premature property and low execution efficiency of the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm, this paper presents a particle swarm optimization algorithm based on the pattern search. In this algorithm, personal and global optimum particles are chosen in every iteration by a probability. Then, local optimization will be performed by the pattern search and then the original individuals will be replaced. The strong local search function of the pattern search provides an effective mechanism for the PSO algorithm to escape from the local optimum, which avoids prematurity of the algorithm. Simulation shows that this algorithm features a stronger function of global search than conventional PSO, so that the optimization process can be improved remarkably.

The passage aims at solving the problems resulted from the optimized process of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), which might reduce the population diversity, cause the algorithm to convergence too early, etc. A whole new mutable simulated annealing particle swarm optimization is proposed based on the combine of the simulated annealing mechanism and mutation. This new algorithm substitutes the Metropolis criterion in the simulated annealing mechanism for mutagenic factors in the process of mutation, which both ensures the diversity of the particle swarm, and ameliorates the quality of the swarm, so that this algorithm would convergence to the global optimum. According to the result of simulated analysis, this hybrid algorithm maintains the simplicity of the particle swarm optimization, improves its capability of global optimization, and finally accelerates the convergence and enhances the precision of this algorithm.

To overcome the shortage that the particle swarm optimization is prone to trap into local extremum searching for the lost in population diversity, a strategy in which the velocity is not dependent on the size of distance between the individual and the optimal particle but only dependent on its direction is proposed. The average similarity of particles in the population is seem as the measure of population diversity and it is used to balance the global and local searching of the algorithm. Based on establishing the relationship between inertia weight and the measure of population diversity which has been inserted into the algorithm, A resilient particle swarm optimization algorithm with dynamically changing inertia weight (ARPSO) was proposed. ARPSO was applied in simulation experiment. The results show that the algorithm has the ability to avoid being trapped in local extremum and advance the probability of finding global optimum.

The particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a population-based stochastic evolutionary algorithm, noted for its capability of searching for the global optimum of complex problems. Particles flying out of the solution space will lead to invalid solutions. So often in engineering applications, boundary condition is used to confine the particles within the solution space. In this paper, a new boundary is proposed, which is called as escape boundary. The solution space is divided into three sections, that is, the inside,escape boundary and the outside of the boundary. The location of the global solution in the solution space, accordingly has two types, that is, the global optimum around the center of the solution space, and the global optimum close to the escape boundary. The proposed boundary is introduced into the PSO algorithm, and is compared to the damping boundary. The experimental results show that the PSO based on escape boundary has better search ability and faster convergence rate.

When the parameters were measured by using fiber Bragg grating (FBG) in practice, there were some parameters hard to measure, which would influenced the reflective spectral of FBG severely, and make the characteristic information harder to be extracted. Therefore, particle swarm optimization algorithm was proposed in analyzing the uniform force reflective spectral of FBG. Based on the uniform force sense theory of FBG and particle swarm optimization algorithm, the objective function were established, meanwhile the experiment and simulation were constructed. And the characteristic information in reflective spectrum of FBG was extracted. By using particle swarm optimization algorithm, experimental data showed that particle swarm optimization algorithm used in extracting the characteristic information not only was efficaciously and easily, but also had some advantages, such as high accuracy, stability and fast convergence rate. And it was useful in high precision measurement of FBG sensor.

Mutation operator is one of the mechanisms of evolutionary algorithms (EAs) and it can provide diversity in the search and help to explore the undiscovered search place. Quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization (QPSO), which is inspired by fundamental theory of PSO algorithm and quantum mechanics, is a novel stochastic searching technique and it may encounter local minima problem when solving multi-modal problems just as that in PSO. A novel mutation mechanism is proposed in this paper to enhance the global search ability of QPSO and a set of different mutation operators is introduced and implemented on the QPSO. Experiments are conducted on several well-known benchmark functions. Experimental results show that QPSO with some of the mutation operators is proven to be statistically significant better than the original QPSO.

Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a swarm intelligence algorithm well known for its simplicity and high efficiency on various problems. Conventional PSO suffers from premature convergence due to the rapid convergence speed and lack of population diversity. It is easy to get trapped in local optima. For this reason, improvements are made to detect stagnation during the optimization and reactivate the swarm to search towards the global optimum. This chapter imposes the reflecting bound-handling scheme and von Neumann topology on PSO to increase the population diversity. A novel crown jewel defense (CJD) strategy is introduced to restart the swarm when it is trapped in a local optimum region. The resultant algorithm named LCJDPSO-rfl is tested on a group of unimodal and multimodal benchmark functions with rotation and shifting. Experimental results suggest that the LCJDPSO-rfl outperforms state-of-the-art PSO variants on most of the functions.

Conventional optimization methods are not efficient enough to solve many of the naturally complicated optimization problems. Thus, inspired by nature, metaheuristic algorithms can be utilized as a new kind of problem solvers in solution to these types of optimization problems. In this paper, an optimization algorithm is proposed which is capable of finding the expected quality of different locations and also tuning its exploration-exploitation dilemma to the location of an individual. A novel particle swarm optimization algorithm is presented which implements the conditioning learning behavior so that the particles are led to perform a natural conditioning behavior on an unconditioned motive. In the problem space, particles are classified into several categories so that if a particle lies within a low diversity category, it would have a tendency to move towards its best personal experience. But, if the particle’s category is with high diversity, it would have the tendency to move towards the global optimum of that category. The idea of the birds’ sensitivity to its flying space is also utilized to increase the particles’ speed in undesired spaces in order to leave those spaces as soon as possible. However, in desirable spaces, the particles’ velocity is reduced to provide a situation in which the particles have more time to explore their environment. In the proposed algorithm, the birds’ instinctive behavior is implemented to construct an initial population randomly or chaotically. Experiments provided to compare the proposed algorithm with the state-of-the-art methods show that our optimization algorithm is one of the most efficient and appropriate ones to solve the static optimization problems.
