Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) which has been well known to solve continuous problems can be applied to discrete combinatorial problems. Several DPSO (Discrete Particle Swarm Optimization) algorithms have been proposed to solve discrete problems such as traveling salesman, vehicle routing, and flow shop scheduling problems. They are different in representation of position and velocity vectors, operation mechanisms for updating vectors. In this paper, the performance of 5 DPSOs is analyzed by applying to traditional Traveling Salesman Problems. The experiment shows that DPSOs are comparable or superior to a genetic algorithm (GA). Also, hybrid PSO combined with local optimization (i.e., 2-OPT) provides much improved solutions. Since DPSO requires more computation time compared with GA, however, the performance of hybrid DPSO is not better than hybrid GA.

This paper proposes a new Hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization (HPSO) method that integrates the Evolutionary Programming (EP) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) techniques. The proposed method is applied to solve Economic Dispatch(ED) problems considering prohibited operating zones, ramp rate limits, capacity limits and power balance constraints. In the proposed HPSO method, the best features of both EP and PSO are exploited, and it is capable of finding the most optimal solution for the non-linear optimization problems. For validating the proposed method, it has been tested on the standard three, six, fifteen and twenty unit test systems. The numerical results show that the proposed HPSO method is well suitable for solving non-linear economic dispatch problems, and it outperforms the EP, PSO and other modern metaheuristic optimization methods reported in the recent literatures.

Fuzzy logic, neural network, fuzzy-neural network play an important as the key technology of linguistic modeling for intelligent control and decision making in complex systems. The fuzzy-neural network (FNN) learning represents one of the most effective algorithms to build such linguistic models. This paper proposes particle swarm optimization algorithm based optimal learning fuzzy-neural network (PSOA-FNN). The proposed learning scheme is the fuzzy-neural network structure which can handle linguistic knowledge as tuning membership function of fuzzy logic by particle swarm optimization algorithm. The learning algorithm of the PSOA-FNN is composed of two phases. The first phase is to find the initial membership functions of the fuzzy neural network model. In the second phase, particle swarm optimization algorithm is used for tuning of membership functions of the proposed model.

This paper proposes an effective approach based on binary coding Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) to identify the switching operation plan for feeder reconfiguration. The proposed method considers the advantages and disadvantages of existing particle swarm optimization method and redefined the operators of PSO algorithm to fit the application field of distribution systems. Shift operator is proposed to construct the binary coding particle swarm optimization for feeder reconfiguration. A typical distribution system of Taiwan Power Company is used in this paper to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The test results show that the proposed method can apply to feeder reconfiguration problems more effectively and stably than existing method.

Many real world optimization problems are discrete and multi-valued. Meta heuristics including Genetic Algorithm and Particle Swarm Optimization have been effectively used to solve these multi-valued optimization problems. However, extensive comparative study on the performance of these algorithms is still required. In this study, performance of these algorithms is evaluated with multi-modal and multi-dimensional test functions. From the experimental results, it is shown that Discrete Particle Swarm Optimization (DPSO) provides better and more reliable solutions among the considered algorithms. Also, additional experiments shows that solution quality of DPSO is not lowered significantly when bit size representing a solution increases. It means that bit representation of multi-valued discrete numbers provides reliable solutions instead of becoming barrier to performance of DPSO.

In this paper, an improved one-against-one support vector machine algorithm is used to classify multiple power quality disturbances. To solve the problem of parameter selection, an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm is proposed to optimize the parameters of the support vector machine. By proposing a new inertia weight expression, the particle swarm optimization algorithm can effectively conduct a global search at the outset and effectively search locally later in a study, which improves the overall classification accuracy. The experimental results show that the improved particle swarm optimization method is more accurate than a grid search algorithm optimization and other improved particle swarm optimizations with regard to its classification of multiple power quality disturbances. Furthermore, the number of support vectors is reduced.

최근 DNA 칩의 등장으로 유전자 관련 실험과 연구가 매우 용이해졌으며 이를 활용한 다양한 실험 결과로 대량의 데이터가 제공되고 있다. DNA칩에 의해 제공된 데이터는 2차원 행렬로 표현되며 하나의 축은 유전자를 나타내고 다른 하나의 축은 샘플정보를 나타낸다. 이러한 데이터에 대하여 빠른 시간 안에 좋은 품질의 군집화를 수행함으로써 이후의 분석 단계인 분류화 작업의 정확도와 효율성을 높일 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 생태계 모방 알고리즘의 하나인 Particle Swarm Optimization 알고리즘을 사용하여 방대한 양의 DNA칩 데이터에 대한 효율적인 군집화 기법을 제안하였으며 실험을 통해서 PSO 기반의 군집화 알고리즘이 기존의 군집화 알고리즘들보다 수행속도 및 품질 면에서 우수한 성능을 가짐을 보였다.

PSO(Particle Swarm Optimization)는 군집(swarm)을 구성하는 단순한 개체들인 입자(particle)들이 각자의 경험을 공유하여 문제의 해답을 찾는 최적화 알고리즘으로 다양한 분야에서 응용되고 있다. PSO에 대한 연구는 최적화를 위해 군집이 적합한 영역으로 빠르게 수렴하도록 하는 파라미터 값의 선정, 토폴로지, 입자의 이동에서 주로 이루어지고 있다. 표준 PSO 알고리즘은 입자 자신과 최고의 이웃이 제공하는 정보만을 이용해서 이동하므로 다양한 영역을 탐색하지 못하고 지역적 최적점에 조기 수렴하는 경향이 있다. 본 논문에서는 군집이 다양한 영역을 탐색하기 위해, 각 입자는 더 나은 경험을 가진 이웃입자들의 정보를 상대적인 중요도에 따라서 참조하여 이동하도록 하였다. 다양한 영역의 탐색은 표준 PSO 알고리즘보다 지역적 최적화의 확률을 줄이고 탐색 속도를 가속화하며 탐색의 성공률을 높일 수 있다. 또한 군집이 지역적 미니멈으로부터 벗어나기 위한 검사 전략을 제안하여 탐색의 성공률을 높였다. 제안한 PSO 알고리즘을 평가하기 위하여, 벤치마크 함수들에 적용한 결과 최적화의 진행 속도 개선과 탐색 성공률의 향상이 있었다.

This study presents a particle swarm optimization algorithm integrated with weighted particle concept and improved fly-back technique. The rationale behind this integration is to utilize the affirmative properties of these new terms to improve the search capability of the standard particle swarm optimizer. Improved fly-back technique introduced in this study can be a proper alternative for widely used penalty functions to handle existing constraints. This technique emphasizes the role of the weighted particle on escaping from trapping into local optimum(s) by utilizing a recursive procedure. On the other hand, it guaranties the feasibility of the final solution by rejecting infeasible solutions throughout the optimization process. Additionally, in contrast with penalty method, the improved fly-back technique does not contain any adjustable terms, thus it does not inflict any extra ad hoc parameters to the main optimizer algorithm. The improved fly-back approach, as independent unit, can easily be integrated with other optimizers to handle the constraints. Consequently, to evaluate the performance of the proposed method on solving the truss weight minimization problems with discrete variables, several benchmark examples taken from the technical literature are examined using the presented method. The results obtained are comparatively reported through proper graphs and tables. Based on the results acquired in this study, it can be stated that the proposed method (integrated particle swarm optimizer, iPSO) is competitive with other metaheuristic algorithms in solving this class of truss optimization problems.

Nowadays, the broad availability of cameras and embedded systems makes the application of computer vision very promising as a supporting technology for intelligent transportation systems, particularly in the field of vehicle tracking. Although there are several existing trackers, the limitation of using low-cost cameras, besides the relatively low processing power in embedded systems, makes most of these trackers useless. For the tracker to work under those conditions, the video frame rate must be reduced to decrease the burden on computation. However, doing this will make the vehicle seem to move faster on the observer's side. This phenomenon is called the fast motion challenge. This paper proposes a tracker called dynamic swarm particle (DSP), which solves the challenge. The term particle refers to the particle filter, while the term swarm refers to particle swarm optimization (PSO). The fundamental concept of our method is to exploit the continuity of vehicle dynamic motions by creating dynamic models based on PSO. Based on the experiments, DSP achieves a precision of 0.896 and success rate of 0.755. These results are better than those obtained by several other benchmark trackers.
