This paper reports a new improved discrete shuffled frog leaping algorithm (ID-SFLA) and its application in multi-type sensor network optimization for the condition monitoring of a gearbox. A mathematical model is established to illustrate the sensor network optimization based on fault-sensor dependence matrix. The crossover and mutation operators of genetic algorithm (GA) are introduced into the update strategy of shuffled frog leaping algorithm (SFLA) and a new ID-SFLA is systematically developed. Numerical simulation results show that the ID-SFLA has an excellent global search ability and outstanding convergence performance. The ID-SFLA is applied to the sensor's optimal selection for a gearbox. In comparison with GA and discrete shuffled frog leaping algorithm (D-SFLA), the proposed ID-SFLA not only poses an effective solving method with swarm intelligent algorithm, but also provides a new quick algorithm and thought for the solution of related integer NP-hard problem.
