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The rapid expansion of Internet of Things(IoT)networks has introduced challenges in network management,primarily in maintaining energy efficiency and robust connectivity across an increasing array of devices.This paper introduces the Adaptive Blended Marine Predators Algorithm(AB-MPA),a novel optimization technique designed to enhance Quality of Service(QoS)in IoT systems by dynamically optimizing network configurations for improved energy efficiency and stability.Our results represent significant improvements in network performance metrics such as energy consumption,throughput,and operational stability,indicating that AB-MPA effectively addresses the pressing needs ofmodern IoT environments.Nodes are initiated with 100 J of stored energy,and energy is consumed at 0.01 J per square meter in each node to emphasize energy-efficient networks.The algorithm also provides sufficient network lifetime extension to a resourceful 7000 cycles for up to 200 nodes with a maximum Packet Delivery Ratio(PDR)of 99% and a robust network throughput of up to 1800 kbps in more compact node configurations.This study proposes a viable solution to a critical problem and opens avenues for further research into scalable network management for diverse applications.
文摘Optimization is the key to obtaining efficient utilization of resources in structural design.Due to the complex nature of truss systems,this study presents a method based on metaheuristic modelling that minimises structural weight under stress and frequency constraints.Two new algorithms,the Red Kite Optimization Algorithm(ROA)and Secretary Bird Optimization Algorithm(SBOA),are utilized on five benchmark trusses with 10,18,37,72,and 200-bar trusses.Both algorithms are evaluated against benchmarks in the literature.The results indicate that SBOA always reaches a lighter optimal.Designs with reducing structural weight ranging from 0.02%to 0.15%compared to ROA,and up to 6%–8%as compared to conventional algorithms.In addition,SBOA can achieve 15%–20%faster convergence speed and 10%–18%reduction in computational time with a smaller standard deviation over independent runs,which demonstrates its robustness and reliability.It is indicated that the adaptive exploration mechanism of SBOA,especially its Levy flight–based search strategy,can obviously improve optimization performance for low-and high-dimensional trusses.The research has implications in the context of promoting bio-inspired optimization techniques by demonstrating the viability of SBOA,a reliable model for large-scale structural design that provides significant enhancements in performance and convergence behavior.

文摘Data serves as the foundation for training and testing machine learning and artificial intelligencemodels.The most fundamental part of data is its attributes or features.The feature set size changes from one dataset to another.Only the relevant features contributemeaningfully to classificationaccuracy.The presence of irrelevant features reduces the system’s effectiveness.Classification performance often deteriorates on high-dimensional datasets due to the large search space.Thus,one of the significant obstacles affecting the performance of the learning process in the majority of machine learning and data mining techniques is the dimensionality of the datasets.Feature selection(FS)is an effective preprocessing step in classification tasks.The aim of applying FS is to exclude redundant and unrelated features while retaining the most informative ones to optimize classification capability and compress computational complexity.In this paper,a novel hybrid binary metaheuristic algorithm,termed hSC-FPA,is proposed by hybridizing the Flower Pollination Algorithm(FPA)and the Sine Cosine Algorithm(SCA).Hybridization controls the exploration capacity of SCA and the exploitation behavior of FPA to maintain a balanced search process.SCA guides the global search in the early iterations,while FPA’s local pollination refines promising solutions in later stages.A binary conversion mechanism using a threshold function is implemented to handle the discrete nature of the feature selection problem.The functionality of the proposed hSC-FPA is authenticated on fourteen standard datasets from the UCI repository using the K-Nearest Neighbors(K-NN)classifier.Experimental results are benchmarked against the standalone SCA and FPA algorithms.The hSC-FPA consistently achieves higher classification accuracy,selects a more compact feature subset,and demonstrates superior convergence behavior.These findings support the stability and outperformance of the hybrid feature selection method presented.
文摘Heuristic optimization algorithms have been widely used in solving complex optimization problems in various fields such as engineering,economics,and computer science.These algorithms are designed to find high-quality solutions efficiently by balancing exploration of the search space and exploitation of promising solutions.While heuristic optimization algorithms vary in their specific details,they often exhibit common patterns that are essential to their effectiveness.This paper aims to analyze and explore common patterns in heuristic optimization algorithms.Through a comprehensive review of the literature,we identify the patterns that are commonly observed in these algorithms,including initialization,local search,diversity maintenance,adaptation,and stochasticity.For each pattern,we describe the motivation behind it,its implementation,and its impact on the search process.To demonstrate the utility of our analysis,we identify these patterns in multiple heuristic optimization algorithms.For each case study,we analyze how the patterns are implemented in the algorithm and how they contribute to its performance.Through these case studies,we show how our analysis can be used to understand the behavior of heuristic optimization algorithms and guide the design of new algorithms.Our analysis reveals that patterns in heuristic optimization algorithms are essential to their effectiveness.By understanding and incorporating these patterns into the design of new algorithms,researchers can develop more efficient and effective optimization algorithms.

文摘Traditional sampling-based path planning algorithms,such as the rapidly-exploring random tree star(RRT^(*)),encounter critical limitations in unstructured orchard environments,including low sampling efficiency in narrow passages,slow convergence,and high computational costs.To address these challenges,this paper proposes a novel hybrid global path planning algorithm integrating Gaussian sampling and quadtree optimization(RRT^(*)-GSQ).This methodology aims to enhance path planning by synergistically combining a Gaussian mixture sampling strategy to improve node generation in critical regions,an adaptive step-size and direction optimization mechanism for enhanced obstacle avoidance,a Quadtree-AABB collision detection framework to lower computational complexity,and a dynamic iteration control strategy for more efficient convergence.In obstacle-free and obstructed scenarios,compared with the conventional RRT^(*),the proposed algorithm reduced the number of node evaluations by 67.57%and 62.72%,and decreased the search time by 79.72%and 78.52%,respectively.In path tracking tests,the proposed algorithm achieved substantial reductions in RMSE of the final path compared to the conventional RRT^(*).Specifically,the lateral RMSE was reduced by 41.5%in obstacle-free environments and 59.3%in obstructed environments,while the longitudinal RMSE was reduced by 57.2%and 58.5%,respectively.Furthermore,the maximum absolute errors in both lateral and longitudinal directions were constrained within 0.75 m.Field validation experiments in an operational orchard confirmed the algorithm's practical effectiveness,showing reductions in the mean tracking error of 47.6%(obstacle-free)and 58.3%(with obstructed),alongside a 5.1%and 7.2%shortening of the path length compared to the baseline method.The proposed algorithm effectively enhances path planning efficiency and navigation accuracy for robots,presenting a superior solution for high-precision autonomous navigation of agricultural robots in orchard environments and holding significant value for engineering applications.

文摘Metaheuristic optimization algorithms continue to be essential for solving complex real-world problems,yet existingmethods often struggle with balancing exploration and exploitation across diverse problem landscapes.This paper proposes a novel nature-inspired metaheuristic optimization algorithm named the Painted Wolf Optimization(PWO)algorithm.The main inspiration for the PWO algorithm is the group behavior and hunting strategy of painted wolves,also known as African wild dogs in the wild,particularly their unique consensus-based voting rally mechanism,a behavior fundamentally distinct fromthe social dynamics of grey wolves.In this innovative process,pack members explore different areas to find prey;then,they hold a pre-hunting voting rally based on the alpha member to determine who will begin the hunt and attack the prey.The efficiency of the proposed PWO algorithm is evaluated by a comparison study with other well-known optimization algorithms on 33 test functions,including the Congress on Evolutionary Computation(CEC)2017 suite and different real-world engineering design cases.Furthermore,the algorithm’s performance is further tested across a spectrum of optimization problems with extensive unknown search spaces.This includes its application within the field of cybersecurity,specifically in the context of training a machine learning-based intrusion detection system(ML-IDS),achieving an accuracy of 0.90 and an F-measure of 0.9290.Statistical analyses using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test(all p<0.05)indicate that the PWO algorithm outperforms existing state-of-the-art algorithms,providing superior solutions in diverse and unpredictable optimization landscapes.This demonstrates its potential as a robust method for tackling complex optimization problems in various fields.The source code for thePWOalgorithmis publicly available at https://github.com/saeidsheikhi/Painted-Wolf-Optimization.

文摘This paper introduces a novel nature-inspired metaheuristic algorithm called the Gekko japonicus algorithm.The algo-rithm draws inspiration mainly from the predation strategies and survival behaviors of the Gekko japonicus.The math-ematical model is developed by simulating various biological behaviors of the Gekko japonicus,such as hybrid loco-motion patterns,directional olfactory guidance,implicit group advantage tendencies,and the tail autotomy mechanism.By integrating multi-stage mutual constraints and dynamically adjusting parameters,GJA maintains an optimal balance between global exploration and local exploitation,thereby effectively solving complex optimization problems.To assess the performance of GJA,comparative analyses were performed against fourteen state-of-the-art metaheuristic algorithms using the CEC2017 and CEC2022 benchmark test sets.Additionally,a Friedman test was performed on the experimen-tal results to assess the statistical significance of differences between various algorithms.And GJA was evaluated using multiple qualitative indicators,further confirming its superiority in exploration and exploitation.Finally,GJA was utilized to solve four engineering optimization problems and further implemented in robotic path planning to verify its practical applicability.Experimental results indicate that,compared to other high-performance algorithms,GJA demonstrates excep-tional performance as a powerful optimization algorithm in complex optimization problems.We make the code publicly available at:https://github.com/zhy1109/Gekko-japonicusalgorithm.
文摘To enhance the accuracy of path planning of unmanned surface vehicles(USVs),the particle swarm optimization algorithm(PSO)is improved based on species migration strategies observed in ecology.By incorporating the concept of particle sight distance,an improved algorithm,called SD-IPSO,is proposed for the real-time autonomous navigation of USVs in marine environments.The algorithm refines the individual behavior pattern of particles in the population,effectively improving both local and global search capabilities while avoiding premature convergence.The effectiveness of the algorithm is validated using standard test functions from CEC-2017 function library,assessing it from multiple dimensions.Sensitivity analysis is conducted on key parameters in the algorithm,including particle sight distance and population size.Results indicate that compared with PSO,SD-IPSO demonstrates significant advantages in optimization accuracy and convergence speed.The application of SD-IPSO in path planning is further investigated through a 14-point traveling salesman problem(TSP)example and navigation autonomous tests of USVs in marine environments.Findings demonstrate that the proposed algorithm exhibits superior optimization capabilities and can effectively address the path planning challenges of USVs.

文摘The Intrusion Detection System(IDS)is a security mechanism developed to observe network traffic and recognize suspicious or malicious activities.Clustering algorithms are often incorporated into IDS;however,conventional clustering-based methods face notable drawbacks,including poor scalability in handling high-dimensional datasets and a strong dependence of outcomes on initial conditions.To overcome the performance limitations of existing methods,this study proposes a novel quantum-inspired clustering algorithm that relies on a similarity coefficient-based quantum genetic algorithm(SC-QGA)and an improved quantum artificial bee colony algorithm hybrid K-means(IQABC-K).First,the SC-QGA algorithmis constructed based on quantum computing and integrates similarity coefficient theory to strengthen genetic diversity and feature extraction capabilities.For the subsequent clustering phase,the process based on the IQABC-K algorithm is enhanced with the core improvement of adaptive rotation gate and movement exploitation strategies to balance the exploration capabilities of global search and the exploitation capabilities of local search.Simultaneously,the acceleration of convergence toward the global optimum and a reduction in computational complexity are facilitated by means of the global optimum bootstrap strategy and a linear population reduction strategy.Through experimental evaluation with multiple algorithms and diverse performance metrics,the proposed algorithm confirms reliable accuracy on three datasets:KDD CUP99,NSL_KDD,and UNSW_NB15,achieving accuracy of 98.57%,98.81%,and 98.32%,respectively.These results affirm its potential as an effective solution for practical clustering applications.

文摘In this paper,we propose a new privacy-aware transmission scheduling algorithm for 6G ad hoc networks.This system enables end nodes to select the optimum time and scheme to transmit private data safely.In 6G dynamic heterogeneous infrastructures,unstable links and non-uniform hardware capabilities create critical issues regarding security and privacy.Traditional protocols are often too computationally heavy to allow 6G services to achieve their expected Quality-of-Service(QoS).As the transport network is built of ad hoc nodes,there is no guarantee about their trustworthiness or behavior,and transversal functionalities are delegated to the extreme nodes.However,while security can be guaranteed in extreme-to-extreme solutions,privacy cannot,as all intermediate nodes still have to handle the data packets they are transporting.Besides,traditional schemes for private anonymous ad hoc communications are vulnerable against modern intelligent attacks based on learning models.The proposed scheme fulfills this gap.Findings show the probability of a successful intelligent attack reduces by up to 65%compared to ad hoc networks with no privacy protection strategy when used the proposed technology.While congestion probability can remain below 0.001%,as required in 6G services.
