Compared to conventional PSO algorithm, particle swarm optimization algorithms inspired by immunity-clonal strategies are presented for their rapid convergence, easy implementation and ability of optimization. A novel PSO algorithm, clonal particle swarm optimization (CPSO) algorithm, is proposed based on clonal principle in natural immune system. By cloning the best individual of successive generations, the CPSO enlarges the area near the promising candidate solution and accelerates the evolution of the swarm, leading to better optimization capability and faster convergence performance than conventional PSO. As a variant, an advance-and-retreat strategy is incorporated to find the nearby minima in an enlarged solution space for greatly accelerating the CPSO before the next clonal operation. A black hole model is also established for easy implementation and good performance. Detailed descriptions of the CPSO algorithm and its variants are elaborated. Extensive experiments on 15 benchmark test functions demonstrate that the proposed CPSO algorithms speedup the evolution procedure and improve the global optimization performance. Finally, an application of the proposed PSO algorithms to spam detection is provided in comparison with the other three methods.

The analysis of wide-angle X-ray diffraction curves of semicrystalline polymers is connected with a thorough decomposition of these curves into crystalline peaks and amorphous components. A reliable and unambiguous decomposition is the most important step in calculation of the crystallinity of polymers. This work presents a new algorithm dedicated to this aim, which is based on the particle swarm optimization (PSO) method. The PSO method is one of the most effective optimization techniques that employs a random choice as a tool for going through the solution space and searching for the global solution. The action of the PSO algorithm imitates the behaviour of a bird flock or a fish school. In the system elaborated in this work the original PSO algorithm has been equipped with several heuristics. The role of heuristics is performed by procedures which orient the search of the solution space using additional information. In this paper it is shown that this algorithm is faster to converge and more efficiently performs a multi-criterial optimization compared with other algorithms used for this purpose to date.

Abstract In the literature about the parameter estimation of the nonlinear Muskingum (NL-MUSK) model, benchmark hydrographs have been subjected to various metaheuristics, and in these studies the minor improvements of the algorithms on objective functions are imposed as ‘state-of-the-art’. With the metaheuristics involving more control variables, the attempt to search global results in a restricted solution space is not actually practical. Although metaheuristics provide reasonable results compared with many derivative methods, they cannot guarantee the same global solution when they run under different initial conditions. In this study, one of the most practical of metaheuristics, the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, was chosen, and the aim was to develop its local search capability. In this context, the hybrid use of the PSO with the Levenberg–Marquardt (LM) algorithm was considered. It was detected that the hybrid PSO–LM gave stable global solutions as a result of each random experiment in the application for four different flood data. The PSO–LM, which stands out with its stable aspect, also achieved rapid convergence compared with the PSO and another hybrid variant called mutated PSO.

In the optimization design process, particle swarm optimization (PSO) is limited by its slow convergence, low precision, and tendency to easily fall into the local extremum. These limitations make degradation inevitable in the evolution process and cause failure of finding the global optimum results. In this paper, based on chaos idea, the PSO algorithm is improved by adaptively adjusting parameters r1 and r2. The improved PSO is verified by four standard mathematical test functions. The results prove that the improved algorithm exhibits excellent convergence speed, global search ability, and stability in the optimization process, which jumps out of the local optimum and achieves global optimality due to the randomness, regularity, and ergodicity of chaotic thought. At last, the improved PSO algorithm is applied to vehicle crash research and is used to carry out the multiobjective optimization based on an approximate model. Compared with the results before the improvement, the improved PSO algorithm is remarkable in the collision index, which includes vehicle acceleration, critical position intrusion, and vehicle mass. In summary, the improved PSO algorithm has excellent optimization effects on vehicle collision.

Original Algorithm

Stochastic search methods, such as the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, are primarily directed by two main features — exploration and exploitation. Exploration is the ability of the algorithm to broadly search through the solution space for new quality solutions, whereas exploitation is responsible for refining the search in the neighborhood of the good solutions found previously. Proper balance between these features is sought, to obtain good performance of these algorithms. An explorative mechanism is introduced in this paper to improve the performance of the PSO algorithm. The method is based on introducing artificial exploration into the algorithm by randomly repositioning the particles approaching stationary status. A velocity measure is used to distinguish between flying and stationary particles. This can be sought as a sudden death followed by a rebirth of these particles. Two options are tested for the rebirthing mechanism, which are (i) clearing and (ii) keeping the memory of rebirthing particles. The global best particle is exempted from rebirthing process so that the most useful of the swarm’s past experiences is not lost. The method is applied to a benchmark storm water network design problem and the results are presented and compared with those of the original algorithm and other methods. The proposed method, though simple, is shown to be very effective in avoiding local optima, leading to an improved version of the algorithm at no extra computational effort.

In view of local optimization in particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO algorithm), chaos theory was introduced to PSO algorithm in this paper. Plenty of populations were generated by using the ergodicity of chaotic motion. The uniformly distributed initial particles of the particle swarms were extracted from the populations according to the Euclidean distance between particles, so that the particles could uniformly distribute in the solution space. Local search was carried out on the optimal position of the particles during evolution, so as to improve the development capability of PSO algorithm and prevent its prematurity, thus enhancing its global optimizing capability. Then the improved PSO algorithm was applied to mechanical design optimization. With optimization design for two-stage gear reducer as the study object, objective function and constraint conditions were determined by building a mathematical model of optimization design, thus realizing optimization design. Simulation and comparison between the improved algorithm and unimproved algorithm show that improved PSO algorithm can optimize the optimization results of PSO algorithm at a faster convergence rate.

Swarm Optimization

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.
