This paper addresses to the flowshop scheduling problem with blocking constraints. The objective is to minimize the makespan criterion. We propose a hybrid combinatorial particle swarm optimization algorithm (HCPSO) as a resolution technique for solving this problem. At the initialization, different priority rules are exploited. Experimental study and statistical analysis were performed to select the most adapted one for this problem. Then, the swarm behavior is tested for solving a combinatorial optimization problem such as a sequencing problem under constraints. Finally, an iterated local search algorithm based on probabilistic perturbation is sequentially introduced to the particle swarm optimization algorithm for improving the quality of solution. The computational results show that our approach is able to improve several best known solutions of the literature. In fact, 76 solutions among 120 were improved. Moreover, HCPSO outperforms the compared methods in terms of quality of solutions in short time requirements. Also, the performance of the proposed approach is evaluated according to a real-world industrial problem.

In this paper, optimization technique such as particle swarm optimization was used to optimize the parameters of fuzzy Extreme Learning Machine. While the learning speed of conventional neural networks is very slow, that of Extreme Learning Machine is very fast. Fuzzy Extreme Learning Machine is composed of the Extreme Learning Machine with very fast learning speed and fuzzy logic which can represent the linguistic information of the field experts. The general sigmoid function is used for the activation function of Extreme Learning Machine. However, the activation function of Fuzzy Extreme Learning Machine is the membership function which is defined in the procedure of fuzzy C-Means clustering algorithm. We optimize the parameters of the membership functions by using optimization technique such as Particle Swarm Optimization. In order to validate the classification capability of the proposed classifier, we make several experiments with the various machine learning datas.

Gaussian learning is a new technology in the computational intelligence area. However, this technology weakens the learning ability of a particle swarm and achieves a lack of diversity. Thus, this paper proposes a vector Gaussian learning strategy and presents an effective approach, named particle swarm optimization based on vector Gaussian learning. The experiments show that the algorithm is more close to the optimal solution and the better search efficiency after we use vector Gaussian learning strategy. The strategy adopts vector Gaussian learning to generate the Gaussian solution of a swarm's optimal location, increases the learning ability of the swarm's optimal location, and maintains the diversity of the swarm. The method divides the states into normal and premature states by analyzing the state threshold of the swarm. If the swarm is in the premature category, the algorithm adopts an inertia weight strategy that decreases linearly in addition to vector Gaussian learning; otherwise, it uses a fixed inertia weight strategy. Experiments are conducted on eight well-known benchmark functions to verify the performance of the new approach. The results demonstrate promising performance of the new method in terms of convergence velocity and precision, with an improved ability to escape from a local optimum.

There are some modified methods such as K-means Clustering Particle Swarm Optimization and Niching Particle Swarm Optimization based on PSO which aim to locate all optima in multimodal functions. K-means Clustering Particle Optimization could locate all optima of functions with finite number of optima. Niching Particle Swarm Optimization is able to locate all of optima but high computing time. Because of those disadvantages, we proposed a new method that could locate all of optima with reasonal time. We applied our method and others as well to analytic functions. By comparing the outcomes, it is shown that our method is significantly more effective than the two others.

Design and optimization of a broadband meander-line twist reflector was performed for X-band application. Based on the equivalent transmission line model, the polarization twist performance was evaluated. Genetic analysis, particles swarm, and hybrid swarm optimizations were employed to obtain the optimized geometrical parameters. The optimized design exhibits low cross-polarization level below - 25 dB between 8.45 and 11.38 GHz. The polarization twist loss was below 0.2 dB. Comparison between computed and simulated results was also discussed.

This paper presents a modified Phasor Discrete Particle Swarm Optimization (PDPSO) algorithm to configure Community Energy Systems(CESs) in the distribution system. The CES obtains electric power from its own Distributed Generations(DGs) and purchases insufficient power from the competitive power market, to supply power for customers contracted with the CES. When there are two or more CESs in a network, the CESs will continue the competitive expansion to reduce the total operation cost. The particles of the proposed PDPSO algorithm have magnitude and phase angle values, and move within a circle area. In the case study, the results by PDPSO algorithm was compared with that by the conventional DPSO algorithm.

In this paper, we introduce a second version of modified binary particle swarm optimization using a concept of genotype-phenotype in genetic algorithms. Particle swarm optimization uses an information of difference between a position of the best solution and one's own position in the process of searching optimum. To obtain this difference of positions, the first version of modified binary particle swarm optimization uses a phenotype but the proposed second version uses a genotype. We can represent the solution space in large search space by using a genotype which provides continuous whole space as search space compared to a phenotype which provides only binary information. Experimental results in 10 De Jong benchmark function show that the second version outperforms the first version in six functions which has a broad search space and many local optima.
