The turning fre- quency points are fixed in each frequency interval in the standard Oustaloup approximation. In the improved Oustaloup method, the turning frequency points are determined by the adaptive chaotic particle swarm optimization （PSO）.

However, most of the previous work focused on the deployment problem in 2D space.Compared to the traditional form, sensors deployment in multidimensional space has greater research significance and practical potential to satisfy the detecting needs in complex environment.Aiming at solving this issue, a multi-dimensional space sensor network model is established, and the radar system is selected as an example. Considering the possible working mode of the radar system(e.g., searching and tracking), two distinctive deployment models are proposed based on maximum coverage area and maximum target detection probability in the attack direction respectively. The latter one is usually ignored in the previous literature.For uncovering the optimal deployment of the sensor network, the particle swarm optimization(PSO) algorithm is improved using the proposed weights determination scheme, in which the linear decreasing, the pooling strategy and the cloud theory are combined for weights updating. Experimental results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.展开更多

文摘A particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm improved by immunity algorithm (IA) was presented. Memory and self-regulation mechanisms of IA were used to avoid PSO plunging into local optima. Vaccination and immune selection mechanisms were used to prevent the undulate phenomenon during the evolutionary process. The algorithm was introduced through an application in the direct maintenance cost (DMC) estimation of aircraft components. Experiments results show that the algorithm can compute simply and run quickly. It resolves the combinatorial optimization problem of component DMC estimation with simple and available parameters. And it has higher accuracy than individual methods, such as PLS, BP and v-SVM, and also has better performance than other combined methods, such as basic PSO and BP neural network.

文摘Prticle swarm optimization(PSO)is adopted to invert the self-potential anomalies of simple geometry.Taking the vertical semi-infinite cylinder model as an example,the model parameters are first inverted using standard particle swarm optimization(SPSO),and then the searching behavior of the particle swarm is discussed and the change of the particles’distribution during the iteration process is studied.The existence of different particle behaviors enables the particle swarm to explore the searching space more comprehensively,thus PSO achieves remarkable results in the inversion of SP anomalies.Finally,six improved PSOs aiming at improving the inversion accuracy and the convergence speed by changing the update of particle positions,inertia weights and learning factors are introduced for the inversion of the cylinder model,and the effectiveness of these algorithms is verified by numerical experiments.The inversion results show that these improved PSOs successfully give the model parameters which are very close to the theoretical value,and simultaneously provide guidance when determining which strategy is suitable for the inversion of the regular polarized bodies and similar geophysical problems.

文摘A numerical procedure for reliability analysis of earth slope based on advanced first-order second-moment method is presented,while soil properties and pore water pressure may be considered as random variables.The factor of safety and performance function is formulated utilizing a new approach of the Morgenstern and Price method.To evaluate the minimum reliability index defined by Hasofer and Lind and corresponding critical probabilistic slip surface,a hybrid algorithm combining chaotic particle swarm optimization and harmony search algorithm called CPSOHS is presented.The comparison of the results of the presented method,standard particle swarm optimization,and selected other methods employed in previous studies demonstrates the superior successful functioning of the new method by evaluating lower values of reliability index and factor of safety.Moreover,the presented procedure is applied for sensitivity analysis and the obtained results show the influence of soil strength parameters and probability distribution types of random variables on the reliability index of slopes.

文摘Resource allocation （RA） is the problem of allocating resources among various artifacts or business units to meet one or more expected goals, such a.s maximizing the profits, minimizing the costs, or achieving the best qualities. A complex multiobjective RA is addressed, and a multiobjective mathematical model is used to find solutions efficiently. Then, all improved particie swarm algorithm （mO_PSO） is proposed combined with a new particle diversity controller policies and dissipation operation. Meanwhile, a modified Pareto methods used in PSO to deal with multiobjectives optimization is presented. The effectiveness of the provided algorithm is validated by its application to some illustrative example dealing with multiobjective RA problems and with the comparative experiment with other algorithm.
