Compared with traditional constraint handling methods, the treatment of the constraint condition in VCGA is relatively easy to implement. Moreover, it does not require adjustments to indefinite pararneters. Using a hybrid crossover operator and the newly developed multi-ply mutation operator, VCGA improves the performance of GAs. To demonstrate the capability of VCGA to catch CNOPS in non-smooth cases, a partial differential equation, which has ＂on off＂ switches in its forcing term, is employed as the nonlinear model. To search global CNOPs of the nonlinear model, numerical experiments using VCGA, the traditional gradient descent algorithm based on the adjoint method （ADJ）, and a GA using tournament selection operation and the niching technique （GA-DEB） were performed. The results with various initial reference states showed that, in smooth cases, all three optimization methods are able to catch global CNOPs. Nevertheless, in non-smooth situations, a large proportion of CNOPs captured by the ADJ are local. Compared with ADJ, the performance of GA-DEB shows considerable improvement, but it is far below VCGA. Further, the impacts of population sizes on both VCGA and GA-DEB were investigated. The results were used to estimate the computation time of ~CGA and GA-DEB in obtaining CNOPs. The computational costs for VCGA, GA-DEB and ADJ to catch CNOPs of the nonlinear model are also compared.展开更多

文摘ThePigeon-InspiredOptimization(PIO)algorithmconstitutes ametaheuristic method derived fromthe homing behaviour of pigeons.Initially formulated for three-dimensional path planning in unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs),the algorithmhas attracted considerable academic and industrial interest owing to its effective balance between exploration and exploitation,coupled with advantages in real-time performance and robustness.Nevertheless,as applications have diversified,limitations in convergence precision and a tendency toward premature convergence have become increasingly evident,highlighting a need for improvement.This reviewsystematically outlines the developmental trajectory of the PIO algorithm,with a particular focus on its core applications in UAV navigation,multi-objective formulations,and a spectrum of variantmodels that have emerged in recent years.It offers a structured analysis of the foundational principles underlying the PIO.It conducts a comparative assessment of various performance-enhanced versions,including hybrid models that integrate mechanisms from other optimization paradigms.Additionally,the strengths andweaknesses of distinct PIOvariants are critically examined frommultiple perspectives,including intrinsic algorithmic characteristics,suitability for specific application scenarios,objective function design,and the rigor of the statistical evaluation methodologies employed in empirical studies.Finally,this paper identifies principal challenges within current PIO research and proposes several prospective research directions.Future work should focus on mitigating premature convergence by refining the two-phase search structure and adjusting the exponential decrease of individual numbers during the landmark operator.Enhancing parameter adaptation strategies,potentially using reinforcement learning for dynamic tuning,and advancing theoretical analyses on convergence and complexity are also critical.Further applications should be explored in constrained path planning,Neural Architecture Search(NAS),and other real-worldmulti-objective problems.For Multi-objective PIO(MPIO),key improvements include controlling the growth of the external archive and designing more effective selection mechanisms to maintain convergence efficiency.These efforts are expected to strengthen both the theoretical foundation and practical versatility of PIO and its variants.
文摘Optimizing convolutional neural networks(CNNs)for IoT attack detection remains a critical yet challenging task due to the need to balance multiple performance metrics beyond mere accuracy.This study proposes a unified and flexible optimization framework that leverages metaheuristic algorithms to automatically optimize CNN configurations for IoT attack detection.Unlike conventional single-objective approaches,the proposed method formulates a global multi-objective fitness function that integrates accuracy,precision,recall,and model size(speed/model complexity penalty)with adjustable weights.This design enables both single-objective and weightedsum multi-objective optimization,allowing adaptive selection of optimal CNN configurations for diverse deployment requirements.Two representativemetaheuristic algorithms,GeneticAlgorithm(GA)and Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO),are employed to optimize CNNhyperparameters and structure.At each generation/iteration,the best configuration is selected as themost balanced solution across optimization objectives,i.e.,the one achieving themaximum value of the global objective function.Experimental validation on two benchmark datasets,Edge-IIoT and CIC-IoT2023,demonstrates that the proposed GA-and PSO-based models significantly enhance detection accuracy(94.8%–98.3%)and generalization compared with manually tuned CNN configurations,while maintaining compact architectures.The results confirm that the multi-objective framework effectively balances predictive performance and computational efficiency.This work establishes a generalizable and adaptive optimization strategy for deep learning-based IoT attack detection and provides a foundation for future hybrid metaheuristic extensions in broader IoT security applications.

文摘Trajectory tracking for nonlinear robotic systems remains a fundamental yet challenging problem in control engineering,particularly when both precision and efficiency must be ensured.Conventional control methods are often effective for stabilization but may not directly optimize long-term performance.To address this limitation,this study develops an integrated framework that combines optimal control principles with reinforcement learning for a single-link robotic manipulator.The proposed scheme adopts an actor–critic structure,where the critic network approximates the value function associated with the Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation,and the actor network generates near-optimal control signals in real time.This dual adaptation enables the controller to refine its policy online without explicit system knowledge.Stability of the closed-loop system is analyzed through Lyapunov theory,ensuring boundedness of the tracking error.Numerical simulations on the single-link manipulator demonstrate that themethod achieves accurate trajectory followingwhile maintaining lowcontrol effort.The results further showthat the actor–critic learning mechanism accelerates convergence of the control policy compared with conventional optimization-based strategies.This work highlights the potential of reinforcement learning integrated with optimal control for robotic manipulators and provides a foundation for future extensions to more complex multi-degree-of-freedom systems.The proposed controller is further validated in a physics-based virtual Gazebo environment,demonstrating stable adaptation and real-time feasibility.

文摘Frequency diverse array multiple-input multiple-output(FDA-MIMO)radar has gained considerable research attention due to its ability to effectively counter active repeater deception jamming in complex electromagnetic environments.The effectiveness of interference suppression by FDA-MIMO is limited by the inherent range-angle coupling issue in the FDA beampattern.Existing literature primarily focuses on control methods for FDA-MIMO radar beam direction under the assumption of static beampatterns,with insufficient exploration of techniques for managing nonstationary beam directions.To address this gap,this paper initially introduces the FDA-MIMO signal model and the calculation formula for the FDA-MIMO array output using the minimum variance distortionless response(MVDR)beamformer.Building on this,the problem of determining the optimal frequency offset for the FDA is rephrased as a convex optimization problem,which is then resolved using the cuckoo search(CS)algorithm.Simulations confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approach,showing that the frequency offsets obtained through the CS algorithm can create a dot-shaped beam direction at the target location while effectively suppressing interference signals within the mainlobe.
文摘Early and accurate detection of bone cancer and marrow cell abnormalities is critical for timely intervention and improved patient outcomes.This paper proposes a novel hybrid deep learning framework that integrates a Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)with a Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory(BiLSTM)architecture,optimized using the Firefly Optimization algorithm(FO).The proposed CNN-BiLSTM-FO model is tailored for structured biomedical data,capturing both local patterns and sequential dependencies in diagnostic features,while the Firefly Algorithm fine-tunes key hyperparameters to maximize predictive performance.The approach is evaluated on two benchmark biomedical datasets:one comprising diagnostic data for bone cancer detection and another for identifying marrow cell abnormalities.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms standard deep learning models,including CNN,LSTM,BiLSTM,and CNN-LSTM hybrids,significantly.The CNNBiLSTM-FO model achieves an accuracy of 98.55%for bone cancer detection and 96.04%for marrow abnormality classification.The paper also presents a detailed complexity analysis of the proposed algorithm and compares its performance across multiple evaluation metrics such as precision,recall,F1-score,and AUC.The results confirm the effectiveness of the firefly-based optimization strategy in improving classification accuracy and model robustness.This work introduces a scalable and accurate diagnostic solution that holds strong potential for integration into intelligent clinical decision-support systems.
文摘The advent of microgrids in modern energy systems heralds a promising era of resilience,sustainability,and efficiency.Within the realm of grid-tied microgrids,the selection of an optimal optimization algorithm is critical for effective energy management,particularly in economic dispatching.This study compares the performance of Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO)and Genetic Algorithms(GA)in microgrid energy management systems,implemented using MATLAB tools.Through a comprehensive review of the literature and sim-ulations conducted in MATLAB,the study analyzes performance metrics,convergence speed,and the overall efficacy of GA and PSO,with a focus on economic dispatching tasks.Notably,a significant distinction emerges between the cost curves generated by the two algo-rithms for microgrid operation,with the PSO algorithm consistently resulting in lower costs due to its effective economic dispatching capabilities.Specifically,the utilization of the PSO approach could potentially lead to substantial savings on the power bill,amounting to approximately$15.30 in this evaluation.Thefindings provide insights into the strengths and limitations of each algorithm within the complex dynamics of grid-tied microgrids,thereby assisting stakeholders and researchers in arriving at informed decisions.This study contributes to the discourse on sustainable energy management by offering actionable guidance for the advancement of grid-tied micro-grid technologies through MATLAB-implemented optimization algorithms.

文摘The bat algorithm(BA)is a metaheuristic algorithm for global optimisation that simulates the echolocation behaviour of bats with varying pulse rates of emission and loudness,which can be used to find the globally optimal solutions for various optimisation problems.Knowing the recent criticises of the originality of equations,the principle of BA is concise and easy to implement,and its mathematical structure can be seen as a hybrid particle swarm with simulated annealing.In this research,the authors focus on the performance optimisation of BA as a solver rather than discussing its originality issues.In terms of operation effect,BA has an acceptable convergence speed.However,due to the low proportion of time used to explore the search space,it is easy to converge prematurely and fall into the local optima.The authors propose an adaptive multi-stage bat algorithm(AMSBA).By tuning the algorithm's focus at three different stages of the search process,AMSBA can achieve a better balance between exploration and exploitation and improve its exploration ability by enhancing its performance in escaping local optima as well as maintaining a certain convergence speed.Therefore,AMSBA can achieve solutions with better quality.A convergence analysis was conducted to demonstrate the global convergence of AMSBA.The authors also perform simulation experiments on 30 benchmark functions from IEEE CEC 2017 as the objective functions and compare AMSBA with some original and improved swarm-based algorithms.The results verify the effectiveness and superiority of AMSBA.AMSBA is also compared with eight representative optimisation algorithms on 10 benchmark functions derived from IEEE CEC 2020,while this experiment is carried out on five different dimensions of the objective functions respectively.A balance and diversity analysis was performed on AMSBA to demonstrate its improvement over the original BA in terms of balance.AMSBA was also applied to the multi-threshold image segmentation of Citrus Macular disease,which is a bacterial infection that causes lesions on citrus trees.The segmentation results were analysed by comparing each comparative algorithm's peak signal-to-noise ratio,structural similarity index and feature similarity index.The results show that the proposed BA-based algorithm has apparent advantages,and it can effectively segment the disease spots from citrus leaves when the segmentation threshold is at a low level.Based on a comprehensive study,the authors think the proposed optimiser has mitigated the main drawbacks of the BA,and it can be utilised as an effective optimisation tool.

文摘Finding an optimal isolator arrangement for asymmetric structures using traditional conceptual design methods that can significantly minimize torsional response while ensuring efficient horizontal seismic isolation is cumbersome and inefficient.Thus,this work develops a multi-objective optimization method to enhance the torsional resistance of asymmetric base-isolated structures.The primary objective is to simultaneously minimize the interstory rotation of the superstructure,the rotation of the isolation layer,and the interstory displacement of the superstructure without exceeding the isolator displacement limits.A fast non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm(NSGA-Ⅱ)is employed to satisfy this optimization objective.Subsequently,the isolator arrangement,encompassing both positions and categories,is optimized according to this multi-objective optimization method.Additionally,an optimization design platform is developed to streamline the design operation.This platform integrates the input of optimization parameters,the output of optimization results,the finite element analysis,and the multi-objective optimization method proposed herein.Finally,the application of this multi-objective optimization method and its associated platform are demonstrated on two asymmetric base-isolated structures of varying heights and plan configurations.The results indicate that the optimal isolator arrangement derived from the optimization method can further improve the control over the lateral and torsional responses of asymmetric base-isolated structures compared to conventional conceptual design methods.Notably,the interstory rotation of the optimal base-isolated structure is significantly reduced,constituting only approximately 33.7%of that observed in the original base-isolated structure.The proposed platform facilitates the automatic generation of the optimal design scheme for the isolators of asymmetric base-isolated structures,offering valuable insights and guidance for the burgeoning field of intelligent civil engineering design.

文摘Energy storage power plants are critical in balancing power supply and demand.However,the scheduling of these plants faces significant challenges,including high network transmission costs and inefficient inter-device energy utilization.To tackle these challenges,this study proposes an optimal scheduling model for energy storage power plants based on edge computing and the improved whale optimization algorithm(IWOA).The proposed model designs an edge computing framework,transferring a large share of data processing and storage tasks to the network edge.This architecture effectively reduces transmission costs by minimizing data travel time.In addition,the model considers demand response strategies and builds an objective function based on the minimization of the sum of electricity purchase cost and operation cost.The IWOA enhances the optimization process by utilizing adaptive weight adjustments and an optimal neighborhood perturbation strategy,preventing the algorithm from converging to suboptimal solutions.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed scheduling model maximizes the flexibility of the energy storage plant,facilitating efficient charging and discharging.It successfully achieves peak shaving and valley filling for both electrical and heat loads,promoting the effective utilization of renewable energy sources.The edge-computing framework significantly reduces transmission delays between energy devices.Furthermore,IWOA outperforms traditional algorithms in optimizing the objective function.
文摘The increase in bridge structure span and the complex stress characteristics directly affect the optimization of sensor placement,which in turn influences the data acquisition performance of the monitoring system.The key to the information acquisition of a bridge monitoring system is to obtain data that meets the health monitoring requirements of the bridge with a limited number of measurement points.To address this,a hybrid method based on multiple optimization criteria is proposed for optimal sensor placement(OSP).First,the minimum number of modes required for bridge monitoring is determined using the information entropy criterion(IE).Then,the number of measurement points is determined using a sequence method combined with the modal assurance criterion(MAC).Finally,the sensor placement is optimized using the generalized genetic algorithm(GGA)combined with double-structure encoding,and the optimization results are validated through finite element model analysis.The research results show that the hybrid method based on multiple optimization criteria can effectively determine the number of measurement points for bridge structures and optimize sensor placement,with a significant improvement in computational speed.
文摘The Sine and Wormhole Energy Whale Optimization Algorithm(SWEWOA)represents an advanced solution method for resolving Optimal Power Flow(OPF)problems in power systems equipped with Flexible AC Transmission System(FACTS)devices which include Thyristor-Controlled Series Compensator(TCSC),Thyristor-Controlled Phase Shifter(TCPS),and Static Var Compensator(SVC).SWEWOA expands Whale Optimization Algorithm(WOA)through the integration of sine and wormhole energy features thus improving exploration and exploitation capabilities for efficient convergence in complex non-linear OPF problems.A performance evaluation of SWEWOA takes place on the IEEE-30 bus test system through static and dynamic loading scenarios where it demonstrates better results than five contemporary algorithms:Adaptive Chaotic WOA(ACWOA),WOA,Chaotic WOA(CWOA),Sine Cosine Algorithm Differential Evolution(SCADE),and Hybrid Grey Wolf Optimization(HGWO).The research shows that SWEWOA delivers superior generation cost reduction than other algorithms by reaching a minimum of 0.9%better performance.SWEWOA demonstrates superior power loss performance by achieving(P_(loss,min))at the lowest level compared to all other tested algorithms which leads to better system energy efficiency.The dynamic loading performance of SWEWOA leads to a 4.38%reduction in gross costs which proves its capability to handle different operating conditions.The algorithm achieves top performance in Friedman Rank Test(FRT)assessments through multiple performance metrics which verifies its consistent reliability and strong stability during changing power demands.The repeated simulations show that SWEWOA generates mean costs(C_(gen,min))and mean power loss values(P_(loss,min))with small deviations which indicate its capability to maintain cost-effective solutions in each simulation run.SWEWOA demonstrates great potential as an advanced optimization solution for power system operations through the results presented in this study.

文摘As vehicular networks grow increasingly complex due to high node mobility and dynamic traffic conditions,efficient clustering mechanisms are vital to ensure stable and scalable communication.Recent studies have emphasized the need for adaptive clustering strategies to improve performance in Intelligent Transportation Systems(ITS).This paper presents the Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm for Vehicular Network Clustering(GOAVNET)algorithm,an innovative approach to optimal vehicular clustering in Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks(VANETs),leveraging the Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm(GOA)to address the critical challenges of traffic congestion and communication inefficiencies in Intelligent Transportation Systems(ITS).The proposed GOA-VNET employs an iterative and interactive optimization mechanism to dynamically adjust node positions and cluster configurations,ensuring robust adaptability to varying vehicular densities and transmission ranges.Key features of GOA-VNET include the utilization of attraction zone,repulsion zone,and comfort zone parameters,which collectively enhance clustering efficiency and minimize congestion within Regions of Interest(ROI).By managing cluster configurations and node densities effectively,GOA-VNET ensures balanced load distribution and seamless data transmission,even in scenarios with high vehicular densities and varying transmission ranges.Comparative evaluations against the Whale Optimization Algorithm(WOA)and Grey Wolf Optimization(GWO)demonstrate that GOA-VNET consistently outperforms these methods by achieving superior clustering efficiency,reducing the number of clusters by up to 10%in high-density scenarios,and improving data transmission reliability.Simulation results reveal that under a 100-600 m transmission range,GOA-VNET achieves an average reduction of 8%-15%in the number of clusters and maintains a 5%-10%improvement in packet delivery ratio(PDR)compared to baseline algorithms.Additionally,the algorithm incorporates a heat transfer-inspired load-balancing mechanism,ensuring equitable distribution of nodes among cluster leaders(CLs)and maintaining a stable network environment.These results validate GOA-VNET as a reliable and scalable solution for VANETs,with significant potential to support next-generation ITS.Future research could further enhance the algorithm by integrating multi-objective optimization techniques and exploring broader applications in complex traffic scenarios.
文摘Due to the climate-dependent nature of renewable energy sources(RESs),solving the optimal power flow(OPF)problem in power systems that integrate RESs,such as photovoltaic(PV)units and wind turbines(WTs),remains a significant challenge.To address this problem,this study presents an effective framework that incorporates solar and wind power generation.To manage the nonconvex and nonlinear characteristics of the OPF problem,a modified physics-inspired algorithm termed the Enhanced Coulomb’s and Franklin’s laws Algorithm(ECFA),is deployed.In the proposed OPF model,the power generated from RESs is considered a dependent variable,while voltages at buses equipped with RESs serve as decision variables.Real-time data on solar irradiation and wind speed are used to model the power outputs of PV units and WTs,respectively.Although the Coulomb’s and Franklin’s law algorithm(CFA)offers some advantages,it underperforms on complex optimization tasks compared to SSA,BA,SCA,ABC,and CFA.The enhanced version of the CFA improves the search process across the feasible space by incorporating diverse interaction methods and enhancing exploitation capabilities.The performance of the proposed ECFA is assessed through comprehensive comparisons with state-of-the-art methods for solving the OPF problem.

文摘A solution to compute the optimal path based on a single-line-single-directional（SLSD）road network model is proposed.Unlike the traditional road network model,in the SLSD conceptual model,being single-directional and single-line style,a road is no longer a linkage of road nodes but abstracted as a network node.Similarly,a road node is abstracted as the linkage of two ordered single-directional roads.This model can describe turn restrictions,circular roads,and other real scenarios usually described using a super-graph.Then a computing framework for optimal path finding（OPF）is presented.It is proved that classical Dijkstra and A algorithms can be directly used for OPF computing of any real-world road networks by transferring a super-graph to an SLSD network.Finally,using Singapore road network data,the proposed conceptual model and its corresponding optimal path finding algorithms are validated using a two-step optimal path finding algorithm with a pre-computing strategy based on the SLSD road network.

文摘A variant constrained genetic algorithm （VCGA） for effective tracking of conditional nonlinear optimal perturbations （CNOPs） is presented. Compared with traditional constraint handling methods, the treatment of the constraint condition in VCGA is relatively easy to implement. Moreover, it does not require adjustments to indefinite pararneters. Using a hybrid crossover operator and the newly developed multi-ply mutation operator, VCGA improves the performance of GAs. To demonstrate the capability of VCGA to catch CNOPS in non-smooth cases, a partial differential equation, which has ＂on off＂ switches in its forcing term, is employed as the nonlinear model. To search global CNOPs of the nonlinear model, numerical experiments using VCGA, the traditional gradient descent algorithm based on the adjoint method （ADJ）, and a GA using tournament selection operation and the niching technique （GA-DEB） were performed. The results with various initial reference states showed that, in smooth cases, all three optimization methods are able to catch global CNOPs. Nevertheless, in non-smooth situations, a large proportion of CNOPs captured by the ADJ are local. Compared with ADJ, the performance of GA-DEB shows considerable improvement, but it is far below VCGA. Further, the impacts of population sizes on both VCGA and GA-DEB were investigated. The results were used to estimate the computation time of ~CGA and GA-DEB in obtaining CNOPs. The computational costs for VCGA, GA-DEB and ADJ to catch CNOPs of the nonlinear model are also compared.
