In IGAE, the new methods for computing antibody similarity, expected reproduction probability, and clonal selection probability were given. IGAE has three features. The first is that the similarities of two antibodies in structure and quality are all defined in the form of percentage, which helps to describe the similarity of two antibodies more accurately and to reduce the computational burden effectively. The second is that with the elitist selection and elitist crossover strategy IGAE is able to find the globally optimal solution of a given problem. The third is that the formula of expected reproduction probability of antibody can be adjusted through a parameter r, which helps to balance the population diversity and the convergence speed of IGAE so that IGAE can find the globally optimal solution of a given problem more rapidly. Two different complex multi-modal functions were selected to test the validity of IGAE. The experimental results show that IGAE can find the globally maximum/minimum values of the two functions rapidly. The experimental results also confirm that IGAE is of better performance in convergence speed, solution variation behavior, and computational efficiency compared with the canonical genetic algorithm with the elitism and the immune genetic algorithm with the information entropy and elitism.展开更多

However, the choice of the dressing conditions is often made, based on the experience of the qualified staff or using data from reference books. The optimal dressing parameters, which are only valid for the particular methods and dressing and grinding conditions, are also used. The paper presents a methodology for optimization of the dressing parameters in cylindrical grinding. The generalized utility function has been chosen as an optimization parameter. It is a complex indicator determining the economic, dynamic and manufacturing characteristics of the grinding process. The developed methodology is implemented for the dressing of aluminium oxide grinding wheels by using experimental diamond roller dressers with different grit sizes made of medium- and high-strength synthetic diamonds type AC32 and AC80. To solve the optimization problem, a model of the generalized utility function is created which reflects the complex impact of dressing parameters. The model is built based on the results from the conducted complex study and modeling of the grinding wheel lifetime, cutting ability, production rate and cutting forces during grinding. They are closely related to the dressing conditions (dressing speed ratio, radial in-feed of the diamond roller dresser and dress-out time), the diamond roller dresser grit size/grinding wheel grit size ratio, the type of synthetic diamonds and the direction of dressing. Some dressing parameters are determined for which the generalized utility fimction has a maximum and which guarantee an optimum combination of the following: the lifetime and cutting ability of the abrasive wheels, the tangential cutting force magnitude and the production rate of the grinding process. The results obtained prove the possibility of control and optimization of grinding by selecting particular dressing parameters.展开更多

The kernel function is neither a self-regular function nor the usual logarithmic kernel function.

However, the algorithm is still insufficient in balancing ex- ploration and exploitation. To solve this problem, we put forward an improved algorithm with a comprehensive search mechanism. The search mechanism contains three main strategies. Firstly, the heuristic Gaussian search strategy composed of three different search equations is proposed for the employed bees, which fully utilizes and balances the exploration and exploitation of the three different search equations by introducing the selectivity probability P,. Secondly, in order to improve the search accuracy, we propose the Gbest-guided neighborhood search strategy for onlooker bees to improve the exploitation performance of ABC. Thirdly, the self- adaptive population perturbation strategy for the current colony is used by random perturbation or Gaussian perturbation to en- hance the diversity of the population. In addition, to improve the quality of the initial population, we introduce the chaotic opposition- based learning method for initialization. The experimental results and Wilcoxon signed ranks test based on 27 benchmark func- tions show that the proposed algorithm, especially for solving high dimensional and complex function optimization problems, has a higher convergence speed and search precision than ABC and three other current ABC-based algorithms.展开更多

摘要A novel immune genetic algorithm with the elitist selection and elitist crossover was proposed, which is called the immune genetic algorithm with the elitism (IGAE). In IGAE, the new methods for computing antibody similarity, expected reproduction probability, and clonal selection probability were given. IGAE has three features. The first is that the similarities of two antibodies in structure and quality are all defined in the form of percentage, which helps to describe the similarity of two antibodies more accurately and to reduce the computational burden effectively. The second is that with the elitist selection and elitist crossover strategy IGAE is able to find the globally optimal solution of a given problem. The third is that the formula of expected reproduction probability of antibody can be adjusted through a parameter r, which helps to balance the population diversity and the convergence speed of IGAE so that IGAE can find the globally optimal solution of a given problem more rapidly. Two different complex multi-modal functions were selected to test the validity of IGAE. The experimental results show that IGAE can find the globally maximum/minimum values of the two functions rapidly. The experimental results also confirm that IGAE is of better performance in convergence speed, solution variation behavior, and computational efficiency compared with the canonical genetic algorithm with the elitism and the immune genetic algorithm with the information entropy and elitism.

In addition, to improve the quality of the initial population, we introduce the chaotic opposition- based learning method for initialization. The experimental results and Wilcoxon signed ranks test based on 27 benchmark func- tions show that the proposed algorithm, especially for solving high dimensional and complex function optimization problems, has a higher convergence speed and search precision than ABC and three other current ABC-based algorithms.

摘要A quasi-filled function for nonlinear integer programming problem is given in this paper. This function contains two parameters which are easily to be chosen. Theoretical properties of the proposed quasi-filled function are investigated. Moreover, we also propose a new solution algorithm using this quasi-filled function to solve nonlinear integer programming problem in this paper. The examples with 2 to 6 variables are tested and computational results indicated the efficiency and reliability of the pro- posed quasi-filled function algorithm.

摘要Weighted fuzzy production rules(WFPRs)provide superior expressiveness and interpretability in knowledge engineering area.However,manual construction of WFPRs is labor-intensive,time-consuming,and inherently subjective,which greatly restricts their practical application.The back propagation neural network(BPNN)has been widely adopted for automatic WFPR extraction.Nevertheless,its high sensitivity to initial weight configurations frequently results in premature convergence to local optima,generating redundant,poorly interpretable rule sets that compromise the inherent interpretability advantage of WFPRs.This paper proposes an elite dynamic scout-guided grey wolf optimizer(EDSG-GWO)and integrates it into a BPNN-based WFPR extraction framework to optimize network initial weights.The EDSG-GWO incorporates a nonlinear convergence factor,dynamic weighted position updating,an elite opposition-based learning mechanism,and an adaptive scout bee perturbation strategy to effectively balance global exploration and local exploitation.Unlike existing GWO variants,the EDSG-GWO achieves the synergistic integration of the four above strategies,collectively enhancing convergence accuracy and exploration capability.Numerical experiments are conducted on twelve benchmark functions.The results demonstrate that the EDSG-GWO delivers competitive optimization accuracy and convergence speed.Validated on the PIMA Indians Diabetes Database,the optimized BPNN attains a test accuracy of 72.92%,which is comparable to other metaheuristic-based approaches.More notably,the extracted WFPRs reach an accuracy of 77.08%,outperforming the baseline method by a notable margin.The four extracted rules involve merely six core diagnostic features,whose weight distributions are highly consistent with established medical knowledge.This contributes to a concise,clinically plausible,and highly interpretable rule set for auxiliary diabetes diagnosis.Further validation on the Breast Cancer Wisconsin dataset yields a WFPRs testing accuracy of 94.15%,confirming the framework’s generalizability.

摘要Introduction:from“prototypes”to“clinical reality”-bridging the translational gap Over the past two decades,the fields of micro-and nanoscale medical robotics have produced a wealth of sophisticated research prototypes[1,2],including magnetically actuated helical microrobots[3],ultrasound-driven microrobots[4],chemically propelled microanomotors[5],and hybrid-driven microanorobots[6].However,most of these studies primarily focused on optimizing isolated functional attributes,such as propulsion speed,drug payload capacity,and imaging contrast,while neglecting the integrated and interdependent constraints that govern real-world clinical deployment.Consequently,despite compelling proof-of-concept demonstrations in controlled laboratory settings.

摘要A simplified group search optimizer algorithm denoted as"SGSO"for large scale global optimization is presented in this paper to obtain a simple algorithm with superior performance on high-dimensional problems.The SGSO adopts an improved sharing strategy which shares information of not only the best member but also the other good members,and uses a simpler search method instead of searching by the head angle.Furthermore,the SGSO increases the percentage of scroungers to accelerate convergence speed.Compared with genetic algorithm(GA),particle swarm optimizer(PSO)and group search optimizer(GSO),SGSO is tested on seven benchmark functions with dimensions 30,100,500 and 1 000.It can be concluded that the SGSO has a remarkably superior performance to GA,PSO and GSO for large scale global optimization.
