文摘This research presents a novel nature-inspired metaheuristic optimization algorithm,called theNarwhale Optimization Algorithm(NWOA).The algorithm draws inspiration from the foraging and prey-hunting strategies of narwhals,“unicorns of the sea”,particularly the use of their distinctive spiral tusks,which play significant roles in hunting,searching prey,navigation,echolocation,and complex social interaction.Particularly,the NWOA imitates the foraging strategies and techniques of narwhals when hunting for prey but focuses mainly on the cooperative and exploratory behavior shown during group hunting and in the use of their tusks in sensing and locating prey under the Arctic ice.These functions provide a strong assessment basis for investigating the algorithm’s prowess at balancing exploration and exploitation,convergence speed,and solution accuracy.The performance of the NWOA is evaluated on 30 benchmark test functions.A comparison study using the Grey Wolf Optimizer(GWO),Whale Optimization Algorithm(WOA),Perfumer Optimization Algorithm(POA),Candle Flame Optimization(CFO)Algorithm,Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO)Algorithm,and Genetic Algorithm(GA)validates the results.As evidenced in the experimental results,NWOA is capable of yielding competitive outcomes among these well-known optimizers,whereas in several instances.These results suggest thatNWOAhas proven to be an effective and robust optimization tool suitable for solving many different complex optimization problems from the real world.
文摘The global incidence of Alzheimer's Disease(AD)is on a swift rise.The Electroencephalogram(EEG)signals is an effective tool for the identification of AD and its initial Mild Cognitive Impairment(MCI)stage using machine learning models.Analysis of AD using EEG involves multi-channel analysis.However,the use of multiple channels may impact the classification performance due to data redundancy and complexity.In this work,a hybrid EEG channel selection is proposed using a combination of Reptile Search Algorithm and Snake Optimizer(RSO)for AD and MCI detection based on decomposition methods.Empirical Mode Decomposition(EMD),Low-Complexity Orthogonal Wavelet Filter Banks(LCOWFB),Variational Mode Decomposition,and discrete-wavelet transform decomposition techniques have been employed for subbands-based EEG analysis.We extracted thirty-four features from each subband of EEG signals.Finally,a hybrid RSO optimizer is compared with five individual metaheuristic algorithms for effective channel selection.The effectiveness of this model is assessed by two publicly accessible AD EEG datasets.An accuracy of 99.22% was achieved for binary classification from RSO with EMD using 4(out of 16)EEG channels.Moreover,the RSO with LCOWFBs obtained 89.68%the average accuracy for three-class classification using 7(out of 19)channels.The performance reveals that RSO performs better than individual Metaheuristic algorithms with 60%fewer channels and improved accuracy of 4%than existing AD detection techniques.
文摘As optimization problems continue to grow in complexity,the need for effective metaheuristic algorithms becomes increasingly evident.However,the challenge lies in identifying the right parameters and strategies for these algorithms.In this paper,we introduce the adaptive multi-strategy Rabbit Algorithm(RA).RA is inspired by the social interactions of rabbits,incorporating elements such as exploration,exploitation,and adaptation to address optimization challenges.It employs three distinct subgroups,comprising male,female,and child rabbits,to execute a multi-strategy search.Key parameters,including distance factor,balance factor,and learning factor,strike a balance between precision and computational efficiency.We offer practical recommendations for fine-tuning five essential RA parameters,making them versatile and independent.RA is capable of autonomously selecting adaptive parameter settings and mutation strategies,enabling it to successfully tackle a range of 17 CEC05 benchmark functions with dimensions scaling up to 5000.The results underscore RA’s superior performance in large-scale optimization tasks,surpassing other state-of-the-art metaheuristics in convergence speed,computational precision,and scalability.Finally,RA has demonstrated its proficiency in solving complicated optimization problems in real-world engineering by completing 10 problems in CEC2020.
文摘With the development of composite materials,their lightweight and high-strength characteristics have caused more widespread use from aerospace applications to automotive and rail transportation sectors,significantly reducing the energy consumption during the operation of EMUs(Electric Multiple Units).This study aims to explore the application of composite materials in the lightweight design of EMU front skirts and proposes a design method based on threedimensional Hashin failure criteria and the Cheetah Optimizer(CO)to achieve maximum lightweight efficiency.The UMAT subroutine was developed based on the three-dimensional Hashin failure criteria to calculate failure parameters,which were used as design parameters in the CO.The model calculations and result extraction were implemented in MATLAB,and the Cheetah Optimizer iteratively determined the optimal laminating angle design that minimized the overall failure factor.After 100 iterations,ensuring structural integrity,the optimized design reduced the weight of the skirt panel by 60% compared to the original aluminum alloy structure,achieving significant lightweight benefits.This study provides foundational data for the lightweight design of EMUs.

文摘The combined heat and power economic dispatch(CHPED)problem is a highly intricate energy dispatch challenge that aims to minimize fuel costs while adhering to various constraints.This paper presents a hybrid differential evolution(DE)algorithm combined with an improved equilibrium optimizer(DE-IEO)specifically for the CHPED problem.The DE-IEO incorporates three enhancement strategies:a chaotic mechanism for initializing the population,an improved equilibrium pool strategy,and a quasi-opposite based learning mechanism.These strategies enhance the individual utilization capabilities of the equilibrium optimizer,while differential evolution boosts local exploitation and escape capabilities.The IEO enhances global search to enrich the solution space,and DE focuses on local exploitation for more accurate solutions.The effectiveness of DE-IEO is demonstrated through comparative analysis with other metaheuristic optimization algorithms,including PSO,DE,ABC,GWO,WOA,SCA,and equilibrium optimizer(EO).Additionally,improved algorithms such as the enhanced chaotic gray wolf optimization(ACGWO),improved particle swarm with adaptive strategy(MPSO),and enhanced SCA with elite and dynamic opposite learning(EDOLSCA)were tested on the CEC2017 benchmark suite and four CHPED systems with 24,84,96,and 192 units,respectively.The results indicate that the proposed DE-IEO algorithm achieves satisfactory solutions for both the CEC2017 test functions and real-world CHPED optimization problems,offering a viable approach to complex optimization challenges.
文摘Accurate prediction of wind energy plays a vital role in maintaining grid stability and supporting the broader shift toward renewable energy systems.Nevertheless,the inherently variable nature of wind and the intricacy of high-dimensional datasets pose major obstacles to reliable forecasting.To address these difficulties,this study presents an innovative hybrid method for short-term wind power prediction by combining a Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM)network with a Single Candidate Optimizer(SCO)algorithm.In contrast to conventional techniques that rely on random parameter initialization,the proposed LSTM-SCO framework leverages the distinctive capability of SCO to work with a single candidate solution,thereby substantially reducing the computational overhead compared to traditional population-based metaheuristics.The performance of the model was benchmarked against various classical and deep learning models across datasets from three geographically diverse sites,using multiple evaluation metrics.Experimental findings demonstrate that the SCO-optimized model enhances prediction accuracy by up to 12.5%over standard LSTM implementations.
文摘Assessing the stability of slopes is one of the crucial tasks of geotechnical engineering for assessing and managing risks related to natural hazards,directly affecting safety and sustainable development.This study primarily focuses on developing robust and practical hybrid models to predict the slope stability status of circular failure mode.For this purpose,three robust models were developed using a database including 627 case histories of slope stability status.The models were developed using the random forest(RF),support vector machine(SVM),and extreme gradient boosting(XGB)techniques,employing 5-fold cross validation approach.To enhance the performance of models,this study employs Bayesian optimizer(BO)to fine-tuning their hyperparameters.The results indicate that the performance order of the three developed models is RF-BO>SVM-BO>XGB-BO.Furthermore,comparing the developed models with previous models,it was found that the RF-BO model can effectively determine the slope stability status with outstanding performance.This implies that the RF-BO model could serve as a dependable tool for project managers,assisting in the evaluation of slope stability during both the design and operational phases of projects,despite the inherent challenges in this domain.The results regarding the importance of influencing parameters indicate that cohesion,friction angle,and slope height exert the most significant impact on slope stability status.This suggests that concentrating on these parameters and employing the RF-BO model can effectively mitigate the severity of geohazards in the short-term and contribute to the attainment of long-term sustainable development objectives.

文摘With the rapid development of machine learning,the prediction of the performance of acoustic meta-materials using neural networks is replacing the traditional experiment-based testing methods.In this paper,a Gini impurity-based artificial neural network structural optimizer(GIASO)is proposed to optimize the neural network structure,and the effects of five different initialization algorithms on the model performance and struc-ture optimization are investigated.Two physically guided models with additional resonant frequencies and sound transmission loss formula are achieved to further improve the prediction accuracy of the model.The results show that GIASO utilizing the gray wolf optimizer as the initialization method can significantly improve the prediction performance of the model.Simultaneously,the physical guidance model with additional resonant frequencies has the best performance and can better predict the edge data points.Eventually,the effect of each input parameter on the sound transmission loss is explained by combining sensitivity analysis and theoretical formulation.

文摘This study proposes a hybridization of two efficient algorithm’s Multi-objective Ant Lion Optimizer Algorithm(MOALO)which is a multi-objective enhanced version of the Ant Lion Optimizer Algorithm(ALO)and the Genetic Algorithm(GA).MOALO version has been employed to address those problems containing many objectives and an archive has been employed for retaining the non-dominated solutions.The uniqueness of the hybrid is that the operators like mutation and crossover of GA are employed in the archive to update the solutions and later those solutions go through the process of MOALO.A first-time hybrid of these algorithms is employed to solve multi-objective problems.The hybrid algorithm overcomes the limitation of ALO of getting caught in the local optimum and the requirement of more computational effort to converge GA.To evaluate the hybridized algorithm’s performance,a set of constrained,unconstrained test problems and engineering design problems were employed and compared with five well-known computational algorithms-MOALO,Multi-objective Crystal Structure Algorithm(MOCryStAl),Multi-objective Particle Swarm Optimization(MOPSO),Multi-objective Multiverse Optimization Algorithm(MOMVO),Multi-objective Salp Swarm Algorithm(MSSA).The outcomes of five performance metrics are statistically analyzed and the most efficient Pareto fronts comparison has been obtained.The proposed hybrid surpasses MOALO based on the results of hypervolume(HV),Spread,and Spacing.So primary objective of developing this hybrid approach has been achieved successfully.The proposed approach demonstrates superior performance on the test functions,showcasing robust convergence and comprehensive coverage that surpasses other existing algorithms.
