An Enhanced Comprehensive Learning Particle Swarm Optimizer with the Elite-Based Dominance Scheme

Abstract

In recent years, swarm-based stochastic optimizers have achieved remarkable results in tackling real-life problems in engineering and data science. When it comes to the particle swarm optimization (PSO), the comprehensive learning PSO (CLPSO) is a well-established evolutionary algorithm that introduces a comprehensive learning strategy (CLS), which effectively boosts the efficacy of the PSO. However, when the single modal function is processed, the convergence speed of the algorithm is too slow to converge quickly to the optimum during optimization. In this paper, the elite-based dominance scheme of another well-established method, grey wolf optimizer (GWO), is introduced into the CLPSO, and the grey wolf local enhanced comprehensive learning PSO algorithm (GCLPSO) is proposed. Thanks to the exploitative trends of the GWO, the algorithm improves the local search capacity of the CLPSO. The new variant is compared with 15 representative and advanced algorithms on IEEE CEC2017 benchmarks. Experimental outcomes have shown that the improved algorithm outperforms other comparison competitors when coping with four different kinds of functions. Moreover, the algorithm is favorably utilized in feature selection and three constrained engineering construction problems. Simulations have shown that the GCLPSO is capable of effectively dealing with constrained problems and solves the problems encountered in actual production.

Enhanced Differential Crossover and Quantum Particle Swarm Optimization for IoT Applications

“…We initially present the comparison of proposed algorithm, EDCQPSO, with others through 30 classic benchmark functions in IEEE CEC2017 [46], as shown in Table 1. The performance of our algorithm on benchmark functions was verified.…”

“…The comparison of mean values and standard deviation after thirty iterations on thirty benchmark functions are listed. Table 4 shows that EDCQPSO ranks first, followed sequentially by GWO-GOA, GHO, GWO, IWO, EBFO, and DA, based on overall rank for CE01-CE30 functions of CEC2017 [46]. On three unimodal test functions (CE01-CE03), EDCQPSO performs better than other algorithms.…”

“…However, we should notice that some of these methods' originality, such as GWO, BAT, and FA, is not high and criticized in several papers [44,85,86]. Meanwhile, there are many corresponding improvement algorithms, such as enhanced comprehensive learning particle swarm optimizer(GCLPSO) [87], random spare ant colony optimization (RCACO) [88], enhanced whale optimizer with associative learning (BMWOA) [89], enhanced GWO with a new hierarchical structure (IGWO) [48], hybridizing grey wolf optimization (HGWO) [90], boosted GWO (OBLGWO) [91] and ant colony optimizer with random spare strategy and chaotic intensification strategy (CCACO) [88], etc. MFO is a novel meta-heuristic algorithm for solving optimization problems.…”
