Artificial Physics, Swarm Engineering, and the Hamiltonian Method
This paper describes the application of a swarm engineering methodology known as the Hamiltonian method of swarm design to the artificial physics problem. We demonstrate how to use this methodology to create swarms of predefined global properties by applying it to the basic artificial physics problem which creates locally hexagonal grids of agents, but fails to generate global hexagons. A condi...
متن کاملA New Methodology For Emergent System Identification Using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) And The Group Method Data Handling (GMDH)
A new methodology for Emergent System Identification is proposed in this paper. The new method applies the self-organizing Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH) functional networks, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), and Genetic Programming (GP) that is effective in identifying complex dynamic systems. The focus of the paper will be on how Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is applied within Grou...
متن کاملEconomic Design of Retaining Wall Using Particle Swarm Optimization with Passive Congregation
This paper presents an effective optimization method for nonlinear constrained optimization of retaining structures. The proposed algorithm is based on the particle swarm optimization with passive congregation. The optimization procedure controls all geotechnical and structural design constraints while reducing the overall cost of the retaining wall. To applying the constraints, the algorithm e...
متن کاملDecision Making Swarms
While swarms that execute decisions are well known in the swarm community, swarms that exhibit this capability a priori have never before been achieved. We demonstrate a methodology, based on the Hamiltonian method of swarm design, that enables the design and implementation of swarms that exhibit decision-making capability. We develop the theoretical structure of the method and apply it to the ...
متن کاملHypothesis testing-based adaptive PSO
Purpose – In this paper, a new method to improve the performance of particle swarm optimization is proposed. Design/methodology/approach – This paper introduces hypothesis testing to determine whether the particles trap into the local minimum or not, then special re-initialization was proposed, finally, some famous benchmarks and constrained engineering optimization problems were used to test t...
