However, SSA still faces challenges of premature convergence and imbalance between exploration and exploitation, especially when tackling multimodal optimization problems. Aiming to deal with the above problems, we propose an enhanced variant of SSA called the multi-strategy enhanced sparrow search algorithm(MSSSA) in this paper.

To validate the effectiveness of the proposed MSSSA, a large number of experiments are implemented, including 40 complex functions from the IEEE CEC2014 and IEEE CEC2019 test suites and 10 classical functions with different dimensions. Experimental results show that the MSSSA achieves competitive performance compared with several state-of-the-art optimization algorithms. The proposed MSSSA is also successfully applied to solve two engineering optimization problems. The results demonstrate the superiority of the MSSSA in addressing practical problems.展开更多

文摘It is evident that complex optimization problems are becoming increasingly prominent,metaheuristic algorithms have demonstrated unique advantages in solving high-dimensional,nonlinear problems.However,the traditional Sparrow Search Algorithm(SSA)suffers from limited global search capability,insufficient population diversity,and slow convergence,which often leads to premature stagnation in local optima.Despite the proposal of various enhanced versions,the effective balancing of exploration and exploitation remains an unsolved challenge.To address the previously mentioned problems,this study proposes a multi-strategy collaborative improved SSA,which systematically integrates four complementary strategies:(1)the Northern Goshawk Optimization(NGO)mechanism enhances global exploration through guided prey-attacking dynamics;(2)an adaptive t-distribution mutation strategy balances the transition between exploration and exploitation via dynamic adjustment of the degrees of freedom;(3)a dual chaotic initialization method(Bernoulli and Sinusoidal maps)increases population diversity and distribution uniformity;and(4)an elite retention strategy maintains solution quality and prevents degradation during iterations.These strategies cooperate synergistically,forming a tightly coupled optimization framework that significantly improves search efficiency and robustness.Therefore,this paper names it NTSSA:A Novel Multi-Strategy Enhanced Sparrow Search Algorithm with Northern Goshawk Optimization and Adaptive t-Distribution for Global Optimization.Extensive experiments on the CEC2005 benchmark set demonstrate that NTSSA achieves theoretical optimal accuracy on unimodal functions and significantly enhances global optimum discovery for multimodal functions by 2–5 orders of magnitude.Compared with SSA,GWO,ISSA,and CSSOA,NTSSA improves solution accuracy by up to 14.3%(F8)and 99.8%(F12),while accelerating convergence by approximately 1.5–2×.The Wilcoxon rank-sum test(p<0.05)indicates that NTSSA demonstrates a statistically substantial performance advantage.Theoretical analysis demonstrates that the collaborative synergy among adaptive mutation,chaos-based diversification,and elite preservation ensures both high convergence accuracy and global stability.This work bridges a key research gap in SSA by realizing a coordinated optimization mechanism between exploration and exploitation,offering a robust and efficient solution framework for complex high-dimensional problems in intelligent computation and engineering design.
文摘Cluster-basedmodels have numerous application scenarios in vehicular ad-hoc networks(VANETs)and can greatly help improve the communication performance of VANETs.However,the frequent movement of vehicles can often lead to changes in the network topology,thereby reducing cluster stability in urban scenarios.To address this issue,we propose a clustering model based on the density peak clustering(DPC)method and sparrow search algorithm(SSA),named SDPC.First,the model constructs a fitness function based on the parameters obtained from the DPC method and deploys the SSA for iterative optimization to select cluster heads(CHs).Then,the vehicles that have not been selected as CHs are assigned to appropriate clusters by comprehensively considering the distance parameter and link-reliability parameter.Finally,cluster maintenance strategies are considered to tackle the changes in the clusters’organizational structure.To verify the performance of the model,we conducted a simulation on a real-world scenario for multiple metrics related to clusters’stability.The results show that compared with the APROVE and the GAPC,SDPC showed clear performance advantages,indicating that SDPC can effectively ensure VANETs’cluster stability in urban scenarios.

文摘In existing research,the optimization of algorithms applied to cloud manufacturing service composition based on the quality of service often suffers from decreased convergence rates and solution quality due to single-population searches in fixed spaces and insufficient information exchange.In this paper,we introduce an improved Sparrow Search Algorithm(ISSA)to address these issues.The fixed solution space is divided into multiple subspaces,allowing for parallel searches that expedite the discovery of target solutions.To enhance search efficiency within these subspaces and significantly improve population diversity,we employ multiple group evolution mechanisms and chaotic perturbation strategies.Furthermore,we incorporate adaptive weights and a global capture strategy based on the golden sine to guide individual discoverers more effectively.Finally,differential Cauchy mutation perturbation is utilized during sparrow position updates to strengthen the algorithm's global optimization capabilities.Simulation experiments on benchmark problems and service composition optimization problems show that the ISSA delivers superior optimization accuracy and convergence stability compared to other methods.These results demonstrate that our approach effectively balances global and local search abilities,leading to enhanced performance in cloud manufacturing service composition.

文摘The safety factor is a crucial quantitative index for evaluating slope stability.However,the traditional calculation methods suffer from unreasonable assumptions,complex soil composition,and inadequate consideration of the influencing factors,leading to large errors in their calculations.Therefore,a stacking ensemble learning model(stacking-SSAOP)based on multi-layer regression algorithm fusion and optimized by the sparrow search algorithm is proposed for predicting the slope safety factor.In this method,the density,cohesion,friction angle,slope angle,slope height,and pore pressure ratio are selected as characteristic parameters from the 210 sets of established slope sample data.Random Forest,Extra Trees,AdaBoost,Bagging,and Support Vector regression are used as the base model(inner loop)to construct the first-level regression algorithm layer,and XGBoost is used as the meta-model(outer loop)to construct the second-level regression algorithm layer and complete the construction of the stacked learning model for improving the model prediction accuracy.The sparrow search algorithm is used to optimize the hyperparameters of the above six regression models and correct the over-and underfitting problems of the single regression model to further improve the prediction accuracy.The mean square error(MSE)of the predicted and true values and the fitting of the data are compared and analyzed.The MSE of the stacking-SSAOP model was found to be smaller than that of the single regression model(MSE=0.03917).Therefore,the former has a higher prediction accuracy and better data fitting.This study innovatively applies the sparrow search algorithm to predict the slope safety factor,showcasing its advantages over traditional methods.Additionally,our proposed stacking-SSAOP model integrates multiple regression algorithms to enhance prediction accuracy.This model not only refines the prediction accuracy of the slope safety factor but also offers a fresh approach to handling the intricate soil composition and other influencing factors,making it a precise and reliable method for slope stability evaluation.This research holds importance for the modernization and digitalization of slope safety assessments.

文摘A novel coupled model integrating Elman-AdaBoost with adaptive mutation sparrow search algorithm(AM-SSA),called AMSSAElman-AdaBoost,is proposed for predicting the existing metro tunnel deformation induced by adjacent deep excavations in soft ground.The novelty is that the modified SSA proposes adaptive adjustment strategy to create a balance between the capacity of exploitation and exploration.In AM-SSA,firstly,the population is initialized by cat mapping chaotic sequences to improve the ergodicity and randomness of the individual sparrow,enhancing the global search ability.Then the individuals are adjusted by Tent chaotic disturbance and Cauchy mutation to avoid the population being too concentrated or scattered,expanding the local search ability.Finally,the adaptive producer-scrounger number adjustment formula is introduced to balance the ability to seek the global and local optimal.In addition,it leads to the improved algorithm achieving a better accuracy level and convergence speed compared with the original SSA.To demonstrate the effectiveness and reliability of AM-SSA,23 classical benchmark functions and 25 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation benchmark test functions(CEC2005),are employed as the numerical examples and investigated in comparison with some wellknown optimization algorithms.The statistical results indicate the promising performance of AM-SSA in a variety of optimization with constrained and unknown search spaces.By utilizing the AdaBoost algorithm,multiple sets of weak AMSSA-Elman predictor functions are restructured into one strong predictor by successive iterations for the tunnel deformation prediction output.Additionally,the on-site monitoring data acquired from a deep excavation project in Ningbo,China,were selected as the training and testing sample.Meanwhile,the predictive outcomes are compared with those of other different optimization and machine learning techniques.In the end,the obtained results in this real-world geotechnical engineering field reveal the feasibility of the proposed hybrid algorithm model,illustrating its power and superiority in terms of computational efficiency,accuracy,stability,and robustness.More critically,by observing data in real time on daily basis,the structural safety associated with metro tunnels could be supervised,which enables decision-makers to take concrete control and protection measures.

文摘The sparrow search algorithm(SSA) is a recent meta-heuristic optimization approach with the advantages of simplicity and flexibility. However, SSA still faces challenges of premature convergence and imbalance between exploration and exploitation, especially when tackling multimodal optimization problems. Aiming to deal with the above problems, we propose an enhanced variant of SSA called the multi-strategy enhanced sparrow search algorithm(MSSSA) in this paper. First, a chaotic map is introduced to obtain a high-quality initial population for SSA, and the opposition-based learning strategy is employed to increase the population diversity. Then, an adaptive parameter control strategy is designed to accommodate an adequate balance between exploration and exploitation. Finally, a hybrid disturbance mechanism is embedded in the individual update stage to avoid falling into local optima. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed MSSSA, a large number of experiments are implemented, including 40 complex functions from the IEEE CEC2014 and IEEE CEC2019 test suites and 10 classical functions with different dimensions. Experimental results show that the MSSSA achieves competitive performance compared with several state-of-the-art optimization algorithms. The proposed MSSSA is also successfully applied to solve two engineering optimization problems. The results demonstrate the superiority of the MSSSA in addressing practical problems.
