Through establishing the spatial pattern of niche and its measuring-fitness formula, and the dynamic system models of single- and two-population with niche construction, including corresponding theoretical analysis and numerical simulation on their evolutionary dynamics of population and the mechanism of competitive coexistence, the co-evolutionary relationship between organisms and their environments was revealed. The results indicate that population dynamics is governed by positive feedback between primary ecological factors and resource content. Niche construction generates an evolutionary effect in system by influencing the fitness of population. A threshold effect exists in single population dynamic system, in dynamic system of two competitive populations, niche construction can lead to alternative competitive consequences, which may be a potential mechanism to explain the competitive coexistence of species.展开更多

文摘针对樽海鞘群优化算法(SSA:Salp Swarm Algorithm)在求解特征选择问题时存在易陷入局部最优、收敛速度慢的不足,基于樽海鞘群优化算法提出了新的改进算法差分进化樽海鞘群特征选择算法(DESSA:Differential Evolution Salp Swarm Algorithm)。DESSA中采用了差分进化策略替代平均算子作为新的粒子迁移方式以增强搜索能力,并加入进化种群动态机制(EPD:Evolution Population Dynamics),加强收敛能力。实验中以KNN(K-Nearest Neighbor)分类器作为基分类器,以UCI(University of California Irvine)数据库中的8组数据集作为实验数据,将DESSA与SSA同具有代表性的算法进行对比实验,实验结果表明,DESSA算法各考察指标较原算法有明显提升,较其他算法相对优越。
