Although the methods that are based on a greedy strategy can obtain good accuracy, they come at the cost of enormous computational time, and are therefore not applicable to practical scenarios in large-scale networks. In addition, the centrality heuristic algorithms that are based on network topology can be completed in relatively less time. However, they tend to fail to achieve satisfactory results because of drawbacks such as overlapped influence spread. In this work, we propose a discrete two-stage metaheuristic optimization combining quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization with Lévy flight to identify a set of the most influential spreaders. According to the framework,first, the particles in the population are tasked to conduct an exploration in the global solution space to eventually converge to an acceptable solution through the crossover and replacement operations. Second, the Lévy flight mechanism is used to perform a wandering walk on the optimal candidate solution in the population to exploit the potentially unidentified influential nodes in the network. Experiments on six real-world social networks show that the proposed algorithm achieves more satisfactory results when compared to other well-known algorithms.展开更多

HA facilitates to search the local optimum in the neighborhood of a solution, while the PSO algorithm tends to explore the search space for possible solutions. Combining the advantages of HA and PSO, HPSO algorithms can find out the global optimum quickly and efficiently. It obtains the DM solution by seeking for the optimal assignment of missiles of friendly fighter aircrafts （FAs） to hostile FAs. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is superior to the general PSO algorithm and two GA based algorithms in searching for the best solution to the DM problem.展开更多

In this article, a systematical atomic-level investigation of Au–Pd bimetallic NPs is conducted by using the improved particle swarm optimization（IPSO） with quantum correction Sutton–Chen potentials（Q-SC） at different Au/Pd ratios and different sizes. In the IPSO, the simulated annealing is introduced into the classical particle swarm optimization（PSO） to improve the effectiveness and reliability. In addition, the influences of initial structure, particle size and composition on structural stability and structural features are also studied. The simulation results reveal that the initial structures have little effects on the stable structures, but influence the converging rate greatly, and the convergence rate of the mixing initial structure is clearly faster than those of the core-shell and phase structures. We find that the Au–Pd NPs prefer the structures with Au-rich in the outer layers while Pd-rich in the inner ones. Especially, when the Au/Pd ratio is 6：4, the structure of the nanoparticle（NP） presents a standardized Pd（core） Au（shell） structure.展开更多

Considering the stagnation phenomenon in the later phase of the basic PSO algorithm caused by the diversity scarcity of particles, a modified PSO algorithm is presented. For the basic PSO algorithm, the velocity of each particle is adjusted according to the inertia motion, the swarm previous best position and its own previous best position. However, in the improved PSO algorithm, each particle only learns from another randomly selected particle with higher performance, besides keeping the inertia motion. The inertia weight of the improved PSO algorithm is a random number. The modification decreases the uncertain parameters of the algorithm, simplifies the learning mechanism of the particle, and enhances the diversity of the swarm. Furthermore, a UAV attitude control system is built, and the improved PSO algorithm is applied in the optimized tuning of four controller parameters. Simulation results show that the improved PSO algorithm has stronger global searching ability than the common PSO algorithms, and obtains better UAV attitude control parameters.展开更多

In this paper,a completely newimprovement over particle swarm optimization（ PSO） based on fluid mechanics is proposed for the feature selection. This newimprovement simulates the spontaneous process of the air from high pressure to lowpressure,therefore it allows for a search through all possible solution spaces and prevents particles from getting trapped in a local optimum. The experiment shows that,this newimproved algorithm had an elaborate feature simplification which achieved a very precise and significant accuracy in the classification of 8 among the 11 datasets,and it is much better in comparison with other methods for feature selection.展开更多

Combining with the characteristics of genetic algorithm （GA） and particle swarm optimization （PSO）, a three-stage calibration method based on hybrid intelligent optimization is pro- posed for nonlinear camera models in this paper. The motivation is to improve the accuracy of the calibration process. In this approach, the stereo vision calibration is considered as an optimization problem that can be solved by the GA and PSO. The initial linear values can be obtained in the frost stage. Then in the second stage, two cameras＇ parameters are optimized separately. Finally, the in- tegrated optimized calibration of two models is obtained in the third stage. Direct linear transforma- tion （DLT）, GA and PSO are individually used in three stages. It is shown that the results of every stage can correctly find near-optimal solution and it can be used to initialize the next stage. Simula- tion analysis and actual experimental results indicate that this calibration method works more accu- rate and robust in noisy environment compared with traditional calibration methods. The proposed method can fulfill the requirements of robot sophisticated visual operation.展开更多

Finally, the in- tegrated optimized calibration of two models is obtained in the third stage. Direct linear transforma- tion （DLT）, GA and PSO are individually used in three stages. It is shown that the results of every stage can correctly find near-optimal solution and it can be used to initialize the next stage. Simula- tion analysis and actual experimental results indicate that this calibration method works more accu- rate and robust in noisy environment compared with traditional calibration methods. The proposed method can fulfill the requirements of robot sophisticated visual operation.

文摘An improved adaptive particle swarm optimization(IAPSO)algorithm is presented for solving the minimum makespan problem of job shop scheduling problem(JSP).Inspired by hormone modulation mechanism,an adaptive hormonal factor(HF),composed of an adaptive local hormonal factor(H l)and an adaptive global hormonal factor(H g),is devised to strengthen the information connection between particles.Using HF,each particle of the swarm can adjust its position self-adaptively to avoid premature phenomena and reach better solution.The computational results validate the effectiveness and stability of the proposed IAPSO,which can not only find optimal or close-to-optimal solutions but also obtain both better and more stability results than the existing particle swarm optimization(PSO)algorithms.

文摘This paper proposes a novel quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization （NQPSO） for the estimation of chaos＇ unknown parameters by transforming them into nonlinear functions＇ optimization. By means of the techniques in the following three aspects： contracting the searching space self-adaptively; boundaries restriction strategy; substituting the particles＇ convex combination for their centre of mass, this paper achieves a quite effective search mechanism with fine equilibrium between exploitation and exploration. Details of applying the proposed method and other methods into Lorenz systems are given, and experiments done show that NQPSO has better adaptability, dependability and robustness. It is a successful approach in unknown parameter estimation online especially in the cases with white noises.

文摘Optimization of machining parameters is of great importance for multi-pass end milling because machining parameters adversely or positively affect the time and quality of production.This paper develops a second-order fulldiscretization method(2ndFDM)-based 3-D stability prediction model for simultaneous optimization of spindle speed,axial cutting depth and radial cutting depth.The optimal machining parameters in each pass are obtained to achieve the minimum production time comprehensive considering constraints of 3-D stability,machine tool performance,tool life and machining requirements.A cloud drop-enabled particle swarm optimization(CDPSO)algorithm is proposed to solve the developed machining parameter optimization,and 13 benchmark problems are used to evaluate CDPSO algorithm.Numerical results show that CDPSO algorithm has a certain advantage in computational cost as well as comparable search quality and robustness.A demonstrative example is provided.
