A modified quasisecant method for global optimization

This paper presents an algorithm for global optimization problem whose objective functions is Lipschitz continuous but not necessarily differentiable. The proposed algorithm consists of local and global search procedures which are based on and inspired by quasisecant method, respectively. The aim of the global search procedure is to identify “promising” basins in the search space.

The proposed method is tested by academic benchmarks, numerical performance and comparison show that it is efficient and robust. Finally, The method is applied to solve the sensor localization problem.

A Staged Continuous Tabu Search Algorithm for the Global Optimization and its Applications to the Design of Fiber Bragg Gratings

A novel staged continuous Tabu search (SCTS) algorithm is proposed for solving global optimization problems of multi-minima functions with multi-variables. The proposed method comprises three stages that are based on the continuous Tabu search (CTS) algorithm with different neighbor-search strategies, with each devoting to one task. The method searches for the global optimum thoroughly and efficiently over the space of solutions compared to a single process of CTS. The effectiveness of the proposed SCTS algorithm is evaluated using a set of benchmark multimodal functions whose global and local minima are known. The numerical test results obtained indicate that the proposed method is more efficient than an improved genetic algorithm published previously. The method is also applied to the optimization of fiber grating design for optical communication systems. Compared with two other well-known algorithms, namely, genetic algorithm (GA) and simulated annealing (SA), the proposed method performs better in the optimization of the fiber grating design.     

A metamodel-assisted evolutionary algorithm for expensive optimization

Expensive optimization aims to find the global minimum of a given function within a very limited number of function evaluations. It has drawn much attention in recent years. The present expensive optimization algorithms focus their attention on metamodeling techniques, and call existing global optimization algorithms as subroutines. So it is difficult for them to keep a good balance between model approximation and global search due to their two-part property. To overcome this difficulty, we try to embed a metamodel mechanism into an efficient evolutionary algorithm, low dimensional simplex evolution (LDSE), in this paper. The proposed algorithm is referred to as the low dimensional simplex evolution extension (LDSEE). It is inherently parallel and self-contained. This renders it very easy to use. Numerical results show that our proposed algorithm is a competitive alternative for expensive optimization problems.     

A simulated annealing driven multi-start algorithm for bound constrained global optimization

A derivative-free simulated annealing driven multi-start algorithm for continuous global optimization is presented. We first propose a trial point generation scheme in continuous simulated annealing which eliminates the need for the gradient-based trial point generation. We then suitably embed the multi-start procedure within the simulated annealing algorithm. We modify the derivative-free pattern search method and use it as the local search in the multi-start procedure. We study the convergence properties of the algorithm and test its performance on a set of 50 problems. Numerical results are presented which show the robustness of the algorithm. Numerical comparisons with a gradient-based simulated annealing algorithm and three population-based global optimization algorithms show that the new algorithm could offer a reasonable alternative to many currently available global optimization algorithms, specially for problems requiring ‘direct search’ type algorithm.     

Gbest-guided artificial bee colony algorithm for numerical function optimization

Artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm invented recently by Karaboga is a biological-inspired optimization algorithm, which has been shown to be competitive with some conventional biological-inspired algorithms, such as genetic algorithm (GA), differential evolution (DE) and particle swarm optimization (PSO). However, there is still an insufficiency in ABC algorithm regarding its solution search equation, which is good at exploration but poor at exploitation. Inspired by PSO, we propose an improved ABC algorithm called gbest-guided ABC (GABC) algorithm by incorporating the information of global best (gbest) solution into the solution search equation to improve the exploitation. The experimental results tested on a set of numerical benchmark functions show that GABC algorithm can outperform ABC algorithm in most of the experiments.     

An improved artificial bee colony algorithm for directing orbits of chaotic systems

Artificial bee colony algorithm (ABC) is a relatively new optimization technique which has been shown to be competitive to other population-based algorithms. However, there is still an insufficiency in ABC regarding its solution search equation, which is good at exploration but poor at exploitation. To address this concerning issue, we propose an improved ABC (IABC) by using a modified search strategy to generate a new food source in order that the exploration and exploitation can be well balanced and satisfactory optimization performances can be achieved. In addition, to enhance the global convergence, when producing the initial population, both opposition-based learning method and chaotic maps are employed. In this paper, the proposed algorithm is applied to control and synchronization of discrete chaotic systems which can be formulated as both multimodal numerical optimization problems with high dimension. Numerical simulation and comparisons with some typical existing algorithms demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed approach.
