One of the mechanisms proposed for modelling of axial splitting is the sliding crack or so called, “wing crack” model. Fairhurst-Cook model explains this specific type of failure which starts by a pre-crack and finally breaks the rock by propagating 2-D cracks under uniaxial compression. In this paper, optimization of this model has been considered and the process has been done by a complete sensitivity analysis on the main parameters of the model and excluding the trends of their changes and also their limits and “peak points”. Later on this paper, three artificial intelligence algorithms including Particle Swarm Intelligence (PSO), Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) and genetic algorithm (GA) has been used and compared in order to achieve optimized sets of parameters resulting in near-maximum or near-minimum amounts of wedging forces creating a wing crack.展开更多

However, in traditional PSO, particles primarily update based on two extreme values: personal best and global best, which limits the diversity of information. Ideally, particles should learn from multiple advantageous particles to enhance interactivity and optimization efficiency. Accordingly, this paper proposes a PSO that simulates the evolutionary dynamics of species survival in mountain peak ecology (PEPSO) for feature selection. Based on the pyramid topology, the algorithm simulates the features of mountain peak ecology in nature and the competitive-cooperative strategies among species. According to the principles of the algorithm, the population is first adaptively divided into many subgroups based on the fitness level of particles. Then, particles within each subgroup are divided into three different types based on their evolutionary levels, employing different adaptive inertia weight rules and dynamic learning mechanisms to define distinct learning modes. Consequently, all particles play their respective roles in promoting the global optimization performance of the algorithm, similar to different species in the ecological pattern of mountain peaks. Experimental validation of the PEPSO performance was conducted on 18 public datasets. The experimental results demonstrate that the PEPSO outperforms other PSO variant-based feature selection methods and mainstream feature selection methods based on intelligent optimization algorithms in terms of overall performance in global search capability, classification accuracy, and reduction of feature space dimensions. Wilcoxon signed-rank test also confirms the excellent performance of the PEPSO.展开更多

It can be described with differential algebraic equations(DAEs). In this paper, a particle swarm optimization(PSO) method is introduced to solve and control a symplectic multibody system for the first time. It is first combined with the symplectic method to solve problems in uncontrolled and controlled robotic arm systems. It is shown that the results conserve the energy and keep the constraints of the chaotic motion, which demonstrates the efficiency, accuracy, and time-saving ability of the method. To make the system move along the pre-planned path, which is a functional extremum problem, a double-PSO-based instantaneous optimal control is introduced. Examples are performed to test the effectiveness of the double-PSO-based instantaneous optimal control. The results show that the method has high accuracy, a fast convergence speed, and a wide range of applications.All the above verify the immense potential applications of the PSO method in multibody system dynamics.展开更多

In SOMS, each resource involved in the whole life cycle of a product, whether it is provided by a piece of software or a hardware device, is encapsulated into a service. So, the transportation during production of a task should be taken into account because the hard-services selected are possibly provided by various providers in different areas. In the service allocation optimization mathematical model, multi-task and transportation were considered simultaneously. In the proposed HDPSOGA algorithm, integer coding method was applied to establish the mapping between the particle location matrix and the service allocation scheme. The position updating process was performed according to the cognition part, the social part, and the previous velocity and position while introducing the crossover and mutation idea of genetic algorithm to fit the discrete space. Finally, related simulation experiments were carried out to compare with other two previous algorithms. The results indicate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed hybrid algorithm.展开更多

The proposed task assignment algorithm based on particle swarm optimization and simulated annealing( PSO-SA) transforms the dependencies between tasks into a directed acyclic graph( DAG) model. The number in each node represents the computation workload of each task and the number on each edge represents the workload produced by the transmission. In order to simulate the environment of task assignment in AMC,mathematical models are developed to describe the dependencies between tasks and the costs of each task are defined. PSO-SA is used to make the decision for task assignment and for minimizing the cost of all devices,which includes the energy consumption and time delay of all devices.PSO-SA also takes the advantage of both particle swarm optimization and simulated annealing by selecting an optimal solution with a certain probability to avoid falling into local optimal solution and to guarantee the convergence speed. The simulation results show that compared with other existing algorithms,the PSO-SA has a smaller cost and the result of PSO-SA can be very close to the optimal solution.展开更多

In this method, a genetic algorithm （GA） and fuzzy discrete particle swarm optimization （FDPSO） are applied to optimize the direction of arrival and power parameters of the mode simultaneously. Firstly, the GA algorithm is applied to make the solution fall into the global searching. Secondly, the FDPSO method is utilized to narrow down the search field. In FDPSO, a chaotic factor and a crossover method are added to speed up the convergence. This approach has been demonstrated through some computational simulations. It is shown that the proposed algorithm can estimate both the DOA and the powers accurately. It is more efficient than some present methods, such as the Newton-like algorithm, Akaike information critical （AIC）, particle swarm optimization （PSO）, and genetic algorithm with particle swarm optimization （GA-PSO）.展开更多

Combining with the characteristics of genetic algorithm （GA） and particle swarm optimization （PSO）, a three-stage calibration method based on hybrid intelligent optimization is pro- posed for nonlinear camera models in this paper. The motivation is to improve the accuracy of the calibration process. In this approach, the stereo vision calibration is considered as an optimization problem that can be solved by the GA and PSO. The initial linear values can be obtained in the frost stage. Then in the second stage, two cameras＇ parameters are optimized separately. Finally, the in- tegrated optimized calibration of two models is obtained in the third stage. Direct linear transforma- tion （DLT）, GA and PSO are individually used in three stages. It is shown that the results of every stage can correctly find near-optimal solution and it can be used to initialize the next stage. Simula- tion analysis and actual experimental results indicate that this calibration method works more accu- rate and robust in noisy environment compared with traditional calibration methods. The proposed method can fulfill the requirements of robot sophisticated visual operation.展开更多

文摘Aiming at the real-time fluctuation and nonlinear characteristics of the expressway short-term traffic flow forecasting the parameter projection pursuit regression PPPR model is applied to forecast the expressway traffic flow where the orthogonal Hermite polynomial is used to fit the ridge functions and the least square method is employed to determine the polynomial weight coefficient c.In order to efficiently optimize the projection direction a and the number M of ridge functions of the PPPR model the chaos cloud particle swarm optimization CCPSO algorithm is applied to optimize the parameters. The CCPSO-PPPR hybrid optimization model for expressway short-term traffic flow forecasting is established in which the CCPSO algorithm is used to optimize the optimal projection direction a in the inner layer while the number M of ridge functions is optimized in the outer layer.Traffic volume weather factors and travel date of the previous several time intervals of the road section are taken as the input influencing factors. Example forecasting and model comparison results indicate that the proposed model can obtain a better forecasting effect and its absolute error is controlled within [-6,6] which can meet the application requirements of expressway traffic flow forecasting.
文摘The common failure mechanism for brittle rocks is known to be axial splitting which happens parallel to the direction of maximum compression. One of the mechanisms proposed for modelling of axial splitting is the sliding crack or so called, “wing crack” model. Fairhurst-Cook model explains this specific type of failure which starts by a pre-crack and finally breaks the rock by propagating 2-D cracks under uniaxial compression. In this paper, optimization of this model has been considered and the process has been done by a complete sensitivity analysis on the main parameters of the model and excluding the trends of their changes and also their limits and “peak points”. Later on this paper, three artificial intelligence algorithms including Particle Swarm Intelligence (PSO), Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) and genetic algorithm (GA) has been used and compared in order to achieve optimized sets of parameters resulting in near-maximum or near-minimum amounts of wedging forces creating a wing crack.
文摘Buildings are the main energy consumers across the world,especially in urban communities.Building smartization,or the smartification of housing,therefore,is a major step towards energy grid smartization too.By controlling the energy consumption of lighting,heating,and cooling systems,energy consumption can be optimized.All or some part of the energy consumed in future smart buildings must be supplied by renewable energy sources(RES),which mitigates environmental impacts and reduces peak demand for electrical energy.In this paper,a new optimization algorithm is applied to solve the optimal energy consumption problem by considering the electric vehicles and demand response in smart homes.In this way,large power stations that work with fossil fuels will no longer be developed.The current study modeled and evaluated the performance of a smart house in the presence of electric vehicles(EVs)with bidirectional power exchangeability with the power grid,an energy storage system(ESS),and solar panels.Additionally,the solar RES and ESS for predicting solar-generated power prediction uncertainty have been considered in this work.Different case studies,including the sales of electrical energy resulting from PV panels’generated power to the power grid,time-variable loads such as washing machines,and different demand response(DR)strategies based on energy price variations were taken into account to assess the economic and technical effects of EVs,BESS,and solar panels.The proposed model was simulated in MATLAB.A hybrid particle swarm optimization(PSO)and gravitational search(GS)algorithm were utilized for optimization.Scenario generation and reduction were performed via LHS and backward methods,respectively.Obtained results demonstrate that the proposed model minimizes the energy supply cost by considering the stochastic time of use(STOU)loads,EV,ESS,and PV system.Based on the results,the proposed model markedly reduced the electricity costs of the smart house.
文摘As two widely used evolutionary algorithms,particle swarm optimization(PSO)and firefly algorithm(FA)have been successfully applied to diverse difficult applications.And extensive experiments verify their own merits and characteristics.To efficiently utilize different advantages of PSO and FA,three novel operators are proposed in a hybrid optimizer based on the two algorithms,named as FAPSO in this paper.Firstly,the population of FAPSO is divided into two sub-populations selecting FA and PSO as their basic algorithm to carry out the optimization process,respectively.To exchange the information of the two sub-populations and then efficiently utilize the merits of PSO and FA,the sub-populations share their own optimal solutions while they have stagnated more than a predefined threshold.Secondly,each dimension of the search space is divided into many small-sized sub-regions,based on which much historical knowledge is recorded to help the current best solution to carry out a detecting operator.The purposeful detecting operator enables the population to find a more promising sub-region,and then jumps out of a possible local optimum.Lastly,a classical local search strategy,i.e.,BFGS QuasiNewton method,is introduced to improve the exploitative capability of FAPSO.Extensive simulations upon different functions demonstrate that FAPSO is not only outperforms the two basic algorithm,i.e.,FA and PSO,but also surpasses some state-of-the-art variants of FA and PSO,as well as two hybrid algorithms.

文摘Accurately forecasting peak particle velocity(PPV)during blasting operations plays a crucial role in mitigating vibration-related hazards and preventing economic losses.This research introduces an approach to PPV prediction by combining conventional empirical equations with physics-informed neural networks(PINN)and optimizing the model parameters via the Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO)algorithm.The proposed PSO-PINN framework was rigorously benchmarked against seven established machine learning approaches:Multilayer Perceptron(MLP),Extreme Gradient Boosting(XGBoost),Random Forest(RF),Support Vector Regression(SVR),Gradient Boosting Decision Tree(GBDT),Adaptive Boosting(Adaboost),and Gene Expression Programming(GEP).Comparative analysis showed that PSO-PINN outperformed these models,achieving RMSE reductions of 17.82-37.63%,MSE reductions of 32.47-61.10%,AR improvements of 2.97-21.19%,and R^(2)enhancements of 7.43-29.21%,demonstrating superior accuracy and generalization.Furthermore,the study determines the impact of incorporating empirical formulas as physical constraints in neural networks and examines the effects of different empirical equations,particle swarm size,iteration count in PSO,regularization coefficient,and learning rate in PINN on model performance.Lastly,a predictive system for blast vibration PPV is designed and implemented.The research outcomes offer theoretical references and practical recommendations for blast vibration forecasting in similar engineering applications.
文摘In recent years, particle swarm optimization (PSO) has received widespread attention in feature selection due to its simplicity and potential for global search. However, in traditional PSO, particles primarily update based on two extreme values: personal best and global best, which limits the diversity of information. Ideally, particles should learn from multiple advantageous particles to enhance interactivity and optimization efficiency. Accordingly, this paper proposes a PSO that simulates the evolutionary dynamics of species survival in mountain peak ecology (PEPSO) for feature selection. Based on the pyramid topology, the algorithm simulates the features of mountain peak ecology in nature and the competitive-cooperative strategies among species. According to the principles of the algorithm, the population is first adaptively divided into many subgroups based on the fitness level of particles. Then, particles within each subgroup are divided into three different types based on their evolutionary levels, employing different adaptive inertia weight rules and dynamic learning mechanisms to define distinct learning modes. Consequently, all particles play their respective roles in promoting the global optimization performance of the algorithm, similar to different species in the ecological pattern of mountain peaks. Experimental validation of the PEPSO performance was conducted on 18 public datasets. The experimental results demonstrate that the PEPSO outperforms other PSO variant-based feature selection methods and mainstream feature selection methods based on intelligent optimization algorithms in terms of overall performance in global search capability, classification accuracy, and reduction of feature space dimensions. Wilcoxon signed-rank test also confirms the excellent performance of the PEPSO.
文摘Thediagnosis of Dry EyeDisease(DED),however,usually depends on clinical information and complex,high-dimensional datasets.To improve the performance of classification models,this paper proposes a Computer Aided Design(CAD)system that presents a new method for DED classification called(IAOO-PSO),which is a powerful Feature Selection technique(FS)that integrates with Opposition-Based Learning(OBL)and Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO).We improve the speed of convergence with the PSO algorithmand the exploration with the IAOO algorithm.The IAOO is demonstrated to possess superior global optimization capabilities,as validated on the IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation 2022(CEC’22)benchmark suite and compared with seven Metaheuristic(MH)algorithms.Additionally,an IAOO-PSO model based on Support Vector Machines(SVMs)classifier is proposed for FS and classification,where the IAOO-PSO is used to identify the most relevant features.This model was applied to the DED dataset comprising 20,000 cases and 26 features,achieving a high classification accuracy of 99.8%,which significantly outperforms other optimization algorithms.The experimental results demonstrate the reliability,success,and efficiency of the IAOO-PSO technique for both FS and classification in the detection of DED.

文摘Multibody system dynamics provides a strong tool for the estimation of dynamic performances and the optimization of multisystem robot design. It can be described with differential algebraic equations(DAEs). In this paper, a particle swarm optimization(PSO) method is introduced to solve and control a symplectic multibody system for the first time. It is first combined with the symplectic method to solve problems in uncontrolled and controlled robotic arm systems. It is shown that the results conserve the energy and keep the constraints of the chaotic motion, which demonstrates the efficiency, accuracy, and time-saving ability of the method. To make the system move along the pre-planned path, which is a functional extremum problem, a double-PSO-based instantaneous optimal control is introduced. Examples are performed to test the effectiveness of the double-PSO-based instantaneous optimal control. The results show that the method has high accuracy, a fast convergence speed, and a wide range of applications.All the above verify the immense potential applications of the PSO method in multibody system dynamics.

文摘To cope with the task scheduling problem under multi-task and transportation consideration in large-scale service oriented manufacturing systems(SOMS), a service allocation optimization mathematical model was established, and then a hybrid discrete particle swarm optimization-genetic algorithm(HDPSOGA) was proposed. In SOMS, each resource involved in the whole life cycle of a product, whether it is provided by a piece of software or a hardware device, is encapsulated into a service. So, the transportation during production of a task should be taken into account because the hard-services selected are possibly provided by various providers in different areas. In the service allocation optimization mathematical model, multi-task and transportation were considered simultaneously. In the proposed HDPSOGA algorithm, integer coding method was applied to establish the mapping between the particle location matrix and the service allocation scheme. The position updating process was performed according to the cognition part, the social part, and the previous velocity and position while introducing the crossover and mutation idea of genetic algorithm to fit the discrete space. Finally, related simulation experiments were carried out to compare with other two previous algorithms. The results indicate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed hybrid algorithm.

文摘In order to solve the problem of efficiently assigning tasks in an ad-hoc mobile cloud( AMC),a task assignment algorithm based on the heuristic algorithm is proposed. The proposed task assignment algorithm based on particle swarm optimization and simulated annealing( PSO-SA) transforms the dependencies between tasks into a directed acyclic graph( DAG) model. The number in each node represents the computation workload of each task and the number on each edge represents the workload produced by the transmission. In order to simulate the environment of task assignment in AMC,mathematical models are developed to describe the dependencies between tasks and the costs of each task are defined. PSO-SA is used to make the decision for task assignment and for minimizing the cost of all devices,which includes the energy consumption and time delay of all devices.PSO-SA also takes the advantage of both particle swarm optimization and simulated annealing by selecting an optimal solution with a certain probability to avoid falling into local optimal solution and to guarantee the convergence speed. The simulation results show that compared with other existing algorithms,the PSO-SA has a smaller cost and the result of PSO-SA can be very close to the optimal solution.
文摘Aiming to reduce the computational costs and converge to global optimum, a novel method is proposed to solve the optimization of a cost function in the estimation of direction of arrival （DOA）. In this method, a genetic algorithm （GA） and fuzzy discrete particle swarm optimization （FDPSO） are applied to optimize the direction of arrival and power parameters of the mode simultaneously. Firstly, the GA algorithm is applied to make the solution fall into the global searching. Secondly, the FDPSO method is utilized to narrow down the search field. In FDPSO, a chaotic factor and a crossover method are added to speed up the convergence. This approach has been demonstrated through some computational simulations. It is shown that the proposed algorithm can estimate both the DOA and the powers accurately. It is more efficient than some present methods, such as the Newton-like algorithm, Akaike information critical （AIC）, particle swarm optimization （PSO）, and genetic algorithm with particle swarm optimization （GA-PSO）.

文摘In order to study the problem that particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm can easily trap into local mechanism when analyzing the high dimensional complex optimization problems, the optimization calculation using the information in the iterative process of more particles was analyzed and the optimal system of particle swarm algorithm was improved. The extended particle swarm optimization algorithm (EPSO) was proposed. The coarse-grained and fine-grained criteria that can control the selection were given to ensure the convergence of the algorithm. The two criteria considered the parameter selection mechanism under the situation of random probability. By adopting MATLAB7.1, the extended particle swarm optimization algorithm was demonstrated in the resource leveling of power project scheduling. EPSO was compared with genetic algorithm (GA) and common PSO, the result indicates that the variance of the objective function of resource leveling is decreased by 7.9%, 18.2%, respectively, certifying the effectiveness and stronger global convergence ability of the EPSO.
文摘Accurate stereo vision calibration is a preliminary step towards high-precision visual posi- tioning of robot. Combining with the characteristics of genetic algorithm （GA） and particle swarm optimization （PSO）, a three-stage calibration method based on hybrid intelligent optimization is pro- posed for nonlinear camera models in this paper. The motivation is to improve the accuracy of the calibration process. In this approach, the stereo vision calibration is considered as an optimization problem that can be solved by the GA and PSO. The initial linear values can be obtained in the frost stage. Then in the second stage, two cameras＇ parameters are optimized separately. Finally, the in- tegrated optimized calibration of two models is obtained in the third stage. Direct linear transforma- tion （DLT）, GA and PSO are individually used in three stages. It is shown that the results of every stage can correctly find near-optimal solution and it can be used to initialize the next stage. Simula- tion analysis and actual experimental results indicate that this calibration method works more accu- rate and robust in noisy environment compared with traditional calibration methods. The proposed method can fulfill the requirements of robot sophisticated visual operation.
