<p>For the “early convergence” or the “genetic drift” of the genetic algorithm, this paper proposes a new genetic algorithm based on P system. Based on the parallel mechanism of P system in membrane computing, we put forward the new P system based genetic algorithm (PBGA). So that we can improve the performance of GA.</p>
In recent years, DNA GA algorithm is drawing attention from scholars. The algorithm combines the DNA encoding and Genetic Algorithm, which solve the premature convergence of genetic algorithms, the weak local search capability and binary Hamming cliff problems effectively.How to design a more effective way to improve the performance of DNA-GA algorithm is more worth studying. As is known to all,the tissue-like P system can search for the optimal clustering partition with the help of its parallel computing advantage effectivel. This paper is under this premise and presents DNA-GA algorithm based on tissue-like P systems (TPDNA-GA) with a loop structure of cells, which aims to combine the parallelism and the evolutionary rules of tissue-like P systems to improve performance of the DNA-GA algorithm. The objective of this paper is to use the TPDNA-GA algorithm to support clustering in order to find the best clustering center.This algorithm is of particular interest to when dealing with large and heterogeneous data sets and when being faced with an unknown number of clusters. Experimental results show that the proposed TPDNA-GA algorithm for clustering is superior or competitive to classical k-means algorithm and several evolutionary clustering algorithms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
