MOPSO algorithm is used to find non-dominated solutions with two objectives： high flow Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency and low flow Nash- Sutcliffe efficiency. The two sets＇ coverage rate and Pareto front spacing metric are two criterions to analyze the performance of the algorithms.

In addition, there are obvious conflicts between the two objectives. But a compromise solution can be acquired by adopting the MOPSO algorithm.展开更多

文摘Multi-objective optimization(MOO)for the microwave metamaterial absorber(MMA)normally adopts evolutionary algo-rithms,and these optimization algorithms require many objec-tive function evaluations.To remedy this issue,a surrogate-based MOO algorithm is proposed in this paper where Kriging models are employed to approximate objective functions.An efficient sampling strategy is presented to sequentially capture promising samples in the design region for exact evaluations.Firstly,new sample points are generated by the MOO on surro-gate models.Then,new samples are captured by exploiting each objective function.Furthermore,a weighted sum of the improvement of hypervolume(IHV)and the distance to sampled points is calculated to select the new sample.Compared with two well-known MOO algorithms,the proposed algorithm is vali-dated by benchmark problems.In addition,two broadband MMAs are applied to verify the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed algorithm.

文摘Real-time prediction of excavation-induced displacement of retaining pile during the deep excavation process is crucial for construction safety.This paper proposes a modified back analysis method with multi-objective optimization procedure,which enables a real-time prediction of horizontal displacement of retaining pile during construction.As opposed to the traditional stage-by-stage back analysis,time series monitoring data till the current excavation stage are utilized to form a multi-objective function.Then,the multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) algorithm is applied for parameter identification.The optimized model parameters are immediately adopted to predict the excavation-induced pile deformation in the continuous construction stages.To achieve efficient parameter optimization and real-time prediction of system behavior,the back propagation neural network (BPNN) is established to substitute the finite element model,which is further implemented together with MOPSO for automatic operation.The proposed approach is applied in the Taihu tunnel excavation project,where the effectiveness of the method is demonstrated via the comparisons with the site monitoring data.The method is reliable with a prediction accuracy of more than 90%.Moreover,different optimization algorithms,including non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II),Pareto Envelope-based Selection Algorithm II (PESA-II) and MOPSO,are compared,and their influences on the prediction accuracy at different excavation stages are studied.The results show that MOPSO has the best performance for high dimensional optimization task.

文摘An application of multi-objective particle swarm optimization （MOPSO） algorithm for optimization of the hydrological model （HYMOD） is presented in this paper. MOPSO algorithm is used to find non-dominated solutions with two objectives： high flow Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency and low flow Nash- Sutcliffe efficiency. The two sets＇ coverage rate and Pareto front spacing metric are two criterions to analyze the performance of the algorithms. MOPSO algorithm surpasses multi-objective shuffled complex evolution metcopolis （MOSCEM_UA） algorithr~, in terms of the two sets＇ coverage rate. But when we come to Pareto front spacing rate, the non-dominated solutions of MOSCEM_ UA algorithm are better-distributed than that of MOPSO algorithm when the iteration is set to 40 000. In addition, there are obvious conflicts between the two objectives. But a compromise solution can be acquired by adopting the MOPSO algorithm.

文摘We present a new definition (Evolving Solutions) for Multi-objective Optimization Problem (MOP) to answer the basic question (what's multi-objective optimal solution?) and advance an asynchronous evolutionary model (MINT Model) to solve MOPs. The new theory is based on our understanding of the natural evolution and the analysis of the difference between natural evolution and MOP, thus it is not only different from the Converting Optimization but also different from Pareto Optimization. Some tests prove that our new theory may conquer disadvantages of the upper two methods to some extent.
