Exploratory Analysis of Clustering Problems Using a Comparison of Particle Swarm Optimization and Differential Evolution

چکیده
Two modern optimization methods including Particle Swarm Optimization and Differential Evolution are compared on twelve constrained nonlinear test functions. Generally, the results show that Differential Evolution is better than Particle Swarm Optimization in terms of high-quality solutions, running time and robustness.

Comparative evaluation of Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithms for Data Clustering using real world data sets
In this paper, well-known PSO algorithms reported in the literature for solving continuous function optimization problems were comparatively evaluated by considering real world data clustering problems. Data clustering problems are solved, by considering three performance clustering metrics such as TRace Within criteria (TRW), Variance Ratio Criteria (VRC) and Marriott Criteria (MC). The result...
متن کاملCombined Economic and Emission Dispatch Solution Using Exchange Market Algorithm
This paper proposes the exchange market algorithm (EMA) to solve the combined economic and emission dispatch (CEED) problems in thermal power plants. The EMA is a new, robust and efficient algorithm to exploit the global optimum point in optimization problems. Existence of two seeking operators in EMA provides a high ability in exploiting global optimum point. In order to show the capabilities ...
متن کاملOptimization of Minimum Quantity Liquid Parameters in Turning for the Minimization of Cutting Zone Temperature
The use of cutting fluid in manufacturing industries has now become more problematic due to environmental pollution and health related problems of employees. Also the minimization of cutting fluid leads to the saving of lubricant cost and cleaning time of machine, tool and work-piece. The concept of minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) has come in to practice since a decade ago in order to overco...
متن کاملFuzzy Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm for a Supplier Clustering Problem
This paper presents a fuzzy decision-making approach to deal with a clustering supplier problem in a supply chain system. During recent years, determining suitable suppliers in the supply chain has become a key strategic consideration. However, the nature of these decisions is usually complex and unstructured. In general, many quantitative and qualitative factors, such as quality, price, and fl...
متن کاملEconomic Dispatch of Thermal Units with Valve-point Effect using Vector Coevolving Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm
Abstract: This paper is intended to reduce the cost of producing fuel from thermal power plants using the problem of economic distribution. This means that in order to determine the share of each unit, considering the amount of consumption and restrictions, including the ones that can be applied to the rate of increase, the prohibited operating areas and the barrier of the vapor barrier, the pr...
