During this waiting per...In the standard grey wolf optimizer(GWO), the search wolf must wait to update its current position until the comparison between the other search wolves and the three leader wolves is completed. During this waiting period, the standard GWO is seen as the static GWO. To get rid of this waiting period, two dynamic GWO algorithms are proposed: the first dynamic grey wolf optimizer(DGWO1) and the second dynamic grey wolf optimizer(DGWO2). In the dynamic GWO algorithms, the current search wolf does not need to wait for the comparisons between all other search wolves and the leading wolves, and its position can be updated after completing the comparison between itself or the previous search wolf and the leading wolves. The position of the search wolf is promptly updated in the dynamic GWO algorithms, which increases the iterative convergence rate. Based on the structure of the dynamic GWOs, the performance of the other improved GWOs is examined, verifying that for the same improved algorithm, the one based on dynamic GWO has better performance than that based on static GWO in most instances.展开更多

However, due to its imperfect search structure and possible risk of being trapped in local optima, its application has been limited. To perfect the performance of the algorithm, an optimized GWO is proposed based on a mutation operator and eliminating-reconstructing mechanism （MR-GWO）. By analyzing GWO, it is found that it conducts search with only three leading wolves at the core, and balances the exploration and exploitation abilities by adjusting only the parameter a, which means the wolves lose some diversity to some extent. Therefore, a mutation operator is introduced to facilitate better searching wolves, and an eliminating- reconstructing mechanism is used for the poor search wolves, which not only effectively expands the stochastic search, but also accelerates its convergence, and these two operations complement each other well. To verify its validity, MR-GWO is applied to the global optimization experiment of 13 standard continuous functions and a radial basis function （RBF） network approximation experiment. Through a comparison with other algorithms, it is proven that MR-GWO has a strong advantage.展开更多

If a single sensor fails, the radiation power pattern of the entire array is disturbed in terms of sidelobe level(SLL) and null depth level(NDL), and nulls are damaged and shifted from their original locations. All these issues can be solved by designing a new fitness function to reduce the error between the preferred and expected radiation power patterns and the null limitations. The hybrid algorithm has been designed to control the array's faulty radiation power pattern. Antenna arrays composed of 21 sensors are used in an example simulation scenario. The MATLAB simulation results confirm the good performance of the proposed method, compared with the existing methods in terms of SLL and NDL.展开更多

Wind Power Forecasting (WPF) is essential for boosting energy efficiency and maintaining the operational stability of power grids. However, predicting wind power comes with significant challenges, such as weather uncertainties, wind variability, complex terrain, limited data, insufficient measurement infrastructure, intricate interdependencies, and short lead times. These factors make it difficult to accurately forecast wind behavior and respond to sudden power output changes. This study aims to precisely forecast electricity generation from wind turbines, minimize grid operation uncertainties, and enhance grid reliability. It leverages historical wind farm data and Numerical Weather Prediction data, using k-Nearest Neighbors for pre-processing, K-means clustering for categorization, and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks for training and testing, with model performance evaluated across multiple metrics. The Grey Wolf Optimized (GWO) LSTM classification technique, a deep learning model suited to time series analysis, effectively handles temporal dependencies in input data through memory cells and gradient-based optimization. Inspired by grey wolves’ hunting strategies, GWO is a population-based metaheuristic optimization algorithm known for its strong performance across diverse optimization tasks. The proposed Grey Wolf Optimized Deep Learning model achieves an R-squared value of 0.97279, demonstrating that it explains 97.28% of the variance in wind power data. This model surpasses a reference study that achieved an R-squared value of 0.92 with a hybrid deep learning approach but did not account for outliers or anomalous data.展开更多

文摘The grey wolf optimizer(GWO)is a swarm-based intelligence optimization algorithm by simulating the steps of searching,encircling,and attacking prey in the process of wolf hunting.Along with its advantages of simple principle and few parameters setting,GWO bears drawbacks such as low solution accuracy and slow convergence speed.A few recent advanced GWOs are proposed to try to overcome these disadvantages.However,they are either difficult to apply to large-scale problems due to high time complexity or easily lead to early convergence.To solve the abovementioned issues,a high-accuracy variable grey wolf optimizer(VGWO)with low time complexity is proposed in this study.VGWO first uses the symmetrical wolf strategy to generate an initial population of individuals to lay the foundation for the global seek of the algorithm,and then inspired by the simulated annealing algorithm and the differential evolution algorithm,a mutation operation for generating a new mutant individual is performed on three wolves which are randomly selected in the current wolf individuals while after each iteration.A vectorized Manhattan distance calculation method is specifically designed to evaluate the probability of selecting the mutant individual based on its status in the current wolf population for the purpose of dynamically balancing global search and fast convergence capability of VGWO.A series of experiments are conducted on 19 benchmark functions from CEC2014 and CEC2020 and three real-world engineering cases.For 19 benchmark functions,VGWO’s optimization results place first in 80%of comparisons to the state-of-art GWOs and the CEC2020 competition winner.A further evaluation based on the Friedman test,VGWO also outperforms all other algorithms statistically in terms of robustness with a better average ranking value.

文摘Global optimization is an essential approach to any inversion problem.Recently,the grey wolf optimizer(GWO)has been proposed to optimize the global minimum,which has been quickly used in a variety of inv-ersion problems.In this study,we proposed a parameter-shifted grey wolf optimizer(psGWO)based on the conven-tional GWO algorithm to obtain the global minimum.Com-pared with GWO,the novel psGWO can effectively search targets toward objects without being trapped within the local minimum of the zero value.We confirmed the effectiveness of the new method in searching for uniform and random objectives by using mathematical functions released by the Congress on Evolutionary Computation.The psGWO alg-orithm was validated using up to 10,000 parameters to dem-onstrate its robustness in a large-scale optimization problem.We successfully applied psGWO in two-dimensional(2D)synthetic earthquake dynamic rupture inversion to obtain the frictional coefficients of the fault and critical slip-weakening distance using a homogeneous model.Furthermore,this alg-orithm was applied in inversions with heterogeneous dist-ributions of dynamic rupture parameters.This implementation can be efficiently applied in 3D cases and even in actual earthquake inversion and would deepen the understanding of the physics of natural earthquakes in the future.

文摘Basic oxygen furnace(BOF)steelmaking end-point control using soft measurement models has essential value for economy and environment.However,the high-dimensional and redundant data of the BOF collected by the sensors will hinder the performance of models.The traditional feature selection results based on meta-heuristic algorithms cannot meet the stability of actual industrial applications.In order to eliminate the negative impact of feature selection application in the BOF steelmaking,an improved grey wolf optimizer(IGWO)for feature selection was proposed,and it was applied to the BOF data set.Firstly,the proposed algorithm preset the size of the feature subset based on the new encoding scheme,rather than the traditional uncertain number strategy.Then,opposition-based learning was used to initialize the grey wolf population so that the initial population was closer to the potential optimal solution.In addition,a novel population update method retained the features closely related to the best three grey wolves and probabilistically updated irrelevant features through measurement or random methods.These methods were used to search feature subsets to maximize search capability and stability of algorithm on BOF steelmaking data.Finally,the proposed algorithm was compared with other feature selection algorithms on the BOF data sets.The results show that the proposed IGWO can stably select the feature subsets that are conductive to the end-point regression accuracy control of BOF temperature and carbon content,which can improve the performance of the BOF steelmaking.
文摘Detecting communities in real and complex networks is a highly contested topic in network analysis.Although many metaheuristic-based algorithms for community detection have been proposed,they still cannot effectively fulfill large-scale and real-world networks.Thus,this paper presents a new discrete version of the Improved Grey Wolf Optimizer(I-GWO)algorithm named DI-GWOCD for effectively detecting communities of different networks.In the proposed DI-GWOCD algorithm,I-GWO is first armed using a local search strategy to discover and improve nodes placed in improper communities and increase its ability to search for a better solution.Then a novel Binary Distance Vector(BDV)is introduced to calculate the wolves’distances and adapt I-GWO for solving the discrete community detection problem.The performance of the proposed DI-GWOCD was evaluated in terms of modularity,NMI,and the number of detected communities conducted by some well-known real-world network datasets.The experimental results were compared with the state-of-the-art algorithms and statistically analyzed using the Friedman and Wilcoxon tests.The comparison and the statistical analysis show that the proposed DI-GWOCD can detect the communities with higher quality than other comparative algorithms.

文摘In the standard grey wolf optimizer(GWO), the search wolf must wait to update its current position until the comparison between the other search wolves and the three leader wolves is completed. During this waiting period, the standard GWO is seen as the static GWO. To get rid of this waiting period, two dynamic GWO algorithms are proposed: the first dynamic grey wolf optimizer(DGWO1) and the second dynamic grey wolf optimizer(DGWO2). In the dynamic GWO algorithms, the current search wolf does not need to wait for the comparisons between all other search wolves and the leading wolves, and its position can be updated after completing the comparison between itself or the previous search wolf and the leading wolves. The position of the search wolf is promptly updated in the dynamic GWO algorithms, which increases the iterative convergence rate. Based on the structure of the dynamic GWOs, the performance of the other improved GWOs is examined, verifying that for the same improved algorithm, the one based on dynamic GWO has better performance than that based on static GWO in most instances.

文摘Due to its simplicity and ease of use, the standard grey wolf optimizer （GWO） is attracting much attention. However, due to its imperfect search structure and possible risk of being trapped in local optima, its application has been limited. To perfect the performance of the algorithm, an optimized GWO is proposed based on a mutation operator and eliminating-reconstructing mechanism （MR-GWO）. By analyzing GWO, it is found that it conducts search with only three leading wolves at the core, and balances the exploration and exploitation abilities by adjusting only the parameter a, which means the wolves lose some diversity to some extent. Therefore, a mutation operator is introduced to facilitate better searching wolves, and an eliminating- reconstructing mechanism is used for the poor search wolves, which not only effectively expands the stochastic search, but also accelerates its convergence, and these two operations complement each other well. To verify its validity, MR-GWO is applied to the global optimization experiment of 13 standard continuous functions and a radial basis function （RBF） network approximation experiment. Through a comparison with other algorithms, it is proven that MR-GWO has a strong advantage.
文摘Hyperspectral(HS)image classification plays a crucial role in numerous areas including remote sensing(RS),agriculture,and the monitoring of the environment.Optimal band selection in HS images is crucial for improving the efficiency and accuracy of image classification.This process involves selecting the most informative spectral bands,which leads to a reduction in data volume.Focusing on these key bands also enhances the accuracy of classification algorithms,as redundant or irrelevant bands,which can introduce noise and lower model performance,are excluded.In this paper,we propose an approach for HS image classification using deep Q learning(DQL)and a novel multi-objective binary grey wolf optimizer(MOBGWO).We investigate the MOBGWO for optimal band selection to further enhance the accuracy of HS image classification.In the suggested MOBGWO,a new sigmoid function is introduced as a transfer function to modify the wolves’position.The primary objective of this classification is to reduce the number of bands while maximizing classification accuracy.To evaluate the effectiveness of our approach,we conducted experiments on publicly available HS image datasets,including Pavia University,Washington Mall,and Indian Pines datasets.We compared the performance of our proposed method with several state-of-the-art deep learning(DL)and machine learning(ML)algorithms,including long short-term memory(LSTM),deep neural network(DNN),recurrent neural network(RNN),support vector machine(SVM),and random forest(RF).Our experimental results demonstrate that the Hybrid MOBGWO-DQL significantly improves classification accuracy compared to traditional optimization and DL techniques.MOBGWO-DQL shows greater accuracy in classifying most categories in both datasets used.For the Indian Pine dataset,the MOBGWO-DQL architecture achieved a kappa coefficient(KC)of 97.68%and an overall accuracy(OA)of 94.32%.This was accompanied by the lowest root mean square error(RMSE)of 0.94,indicating very precise predictions with minimal error.In the case of the Pavia University dataset,the MOBGWO-DQL model demonstrated outstanding performance with the highest KC of 98.72%and an impressive OA of 96.01%.It also recorded the lowest RMSE at 0.63,reinforcing its accuracy in predictions.The results clearly demonstrate that the proposed MOBGWO-DQL architecture not only reaches a highly accurate model more quickly but also maintains superior performance throughout the training process.

文摘We design a grey wolf optimizer hybridized with an interior point algorithm to correct a faulty antenna array. If a single sensor fails, the radiation power pattern of the entire array is disturbed in terms of sidelobe level(SLL) and null depth level(NDL), and nulls are damaged and shifted from their original locations. All these issues can be solved by designing a new fitness function to reduce the error between the preferred and expected radiation power patterns and the null limitations. The hybrid algorithm has been designed to control the array's faulty radiation power pattern. Antenna arrays composed of 21 sensors are used in an example simulation scenario. The MATLAB simulation results confirm the good performance of the proposed method, compared with the existing methods in terms of SLL and NDL.

文摘In fifth-generation wireless communication system(5G),more connections are built between metaheuristics and electromagnetic equipment design.In this paper,we propose a self-adaptive grey wolf optimizer(SAGWO)combined with a novel optimization model of a 5G frequency selection surface(FSS)based on FSS unit nodes.SAGWO includes three improvement strategies,improving the initial distribution,increasing the randomness,and enhancing the local search,to accelerate the convergence and effectively avoid local optima.In benchmark tests,the proposed optimizer performs better than the five other optimization algorithms:original grey wolf optimizer(GWO),genetic algorithm(GA),particle swarm optimizer(PSO),improved grey wolf optimizer(IGWO),and selective opposition based grey wolf optimization(SOGWO).Due to its global searchability,SAGWO is suitable for solving the optimization problem of a 5G FSS that has a large design space.The combination of SAGWO and the new FSS optimization model can automatically obtain the shape of the FSS unit with electromagnetic interference shielding capability at the center operating frequency.To verify the performance of the proposed method,a double-layer ring FSS is designed with the purpose of providing electromagnetic interference shielding features at28 GHz.The results show that the optimized FSS has better electromagnetic interference shielding at the center frequency and has higher angular stability.Finally,a sample of the optimized FSS is fabricated and tested.

文摘We propose a competitive binary multi-objective grey wolf optimizer(CBMOGWO)to reduce the heavy computational burden of conventional multi-objective antenna topology optimization problems.This method introduces a population competition mechanism to reduce the burden of electromagnetic(EM)simulation and achieve appropriate fitness values.Furthermore,we introduce a function of cosine oscillation to improve the linear convergence factor of the original binary multi-objective grey wolf optimizer(BMOGWO)to achieve a good balance between exploration and exploitation.Then,the optimization performance of CBMOGWO is verified on 12 standard multi-objective test problems(MOTPs)and four multi-objective knapsack problems(MOKPs)by comparison with the original BMOGWO and the traditional binary multi-objective particle swarm optimization(BMOPSO).Finally,the effectiveness of our method in reducing the computational cost is validated by an example of a compact high-isolation dual-band multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO)antenna with high-dimensional mixed design variables and multiple objectives.The experimental results show that CBMOGWO reduces nearly half of the computational cost compared with traditional methods,which indicates that our method is highly efficient for complex antenna topology optimization problems.It provides new ideas for exploring new and unexpected antenna structures based on multi-objective evolutionary algorithms(MOEAs)in a flexible and efficient manner.
文摘The technical advancement in information systems contributes towards the massive availability of the documents stored in the electronic databases such as e-mails,internet and web pages.Therefore,it becomes a complex task for arranging and browsing the required document.This paper proposes an approach for incremental clustering using the BatGrey Wolf Optimizer(BAGWO).The input documents are initially subjected to the pre-processing module to obtain useful keywords,and then the feature extraction is performed based on wordnet features.After feature extraction,feature selection is carried out using entropy function.Subsequently,the clustering is done using the proposed BAGWO algorithm.The BAGWO algorithm is designed by integrating the Bat Algorithm(BA)and Grey Wolf Optimizer(GWO)for generating the different clusters of text documents.Hence,the clustering is determined using the BAGWO algorithm,yielding the group of clusters.On the other side,upon the arrival of a new document,the same steps of pre-processing and feature extraction are performed.Based on the features of the test document,the mapping is done between the features of the test document,and the clusters obtained by the proposed BAGWO approach.The mapping is performed using the kernel-based deep point distance and once the mapping terminated,the representatives are updated based on the fuzzy-based representative update.The performance of the developed BAGWO outperformed the existing techniques in terms of clustering accuracy,Jaccard coefficient,and rand coefficient with maximal values 0.948,0.968,and 0.969,respectively.

文摘Wind power generation is among the most promising and eco-friendly energy sources today. Wind Power Forecasting (WPF) is essential for boosting energy efficiency and maintaining the operational stability of power grids. However, predicting wind power comes with significant challenges, such as weather uncertainties, wind variability, complex terrain, limited data, insufficient measurement infrastructure, intricate interdependencies, and short lead times. These factors make it difficult to accurately forecast wind behavior and respond to sudden power output changes. This study aims to precisely forecast electricity generation from wind turbines, minimize grid operation uncertainties, and enhance grid reliability. It leverages historical wind farm data and Numerical Weather Prediction data, using k-Nearest Neighbors for pre-processing, K-means clustering for categorization, and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks for training and testing, with model performance evaluated across multiple metrics. The Grey Wolf Optimized (GWO) LSTM classification technique, a deep learning model suited to time series analysis, effectively handles temporal dependencies in input data through memory cells and gradient-based optimization. Inspired by grey wolves’ hunting strategies, GWO is a population-based metaheuristic optimization algorithm known for its strong performance across diverse optimization tasks. The proposed Grey Wolf Optimized Deep Learning model achieves an R-squared value of 0.97279, demonstrating that it explains 97.28% of the variance in wind power data. This model surpasses a reference study that achieved an R-squared value of 0.92 with a hybrid deep learning approach but did not account for outliers or anomalous data.
