Abstract:

This article formulates a new technique for behavior analysis of systems through fuzzy Kolmogorov's differential equations and Particle Swarm Optimization. For handling the uncertainty in data, differential equations have been formulated by Markov modeling of system in fuzzy environment. First solution of these derived fuzzy Kolmogorov's differential equations has been found by Runge-Kutta fourth order method and thereafter the solution has been improved by Particle Swarm Optimization. Fuzzy availability is estimated in its transient as well as steady states. Sensitivity analysis has also been done to find the relative importance of a particular component of the system. Butter oil processing plant as an industrial system has been studied as a case for application of the proposed approach.

An approach to Improve Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm Using CUDA

The time consumption in solving computationally heavy problems has always been a concern for computer programmers. Due to simplicity of its implementation, the PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) is a suitable meta-heuristic algorithm for solving computationally heavy problems. However, despite the simplicity, the algorithm is inefficient for solving real computationally heavy problems but the pr...

Fuzzy 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...

Particle Swarm Optimization for Hydraulic Analysis of Water Distribution Systems

The analysis of flow in water-distribution networks with several pumps by the Content Model may be turned into a non-convex optimization uncertain problem with multiple solutions. Newton-based methods such as GGA are not able to capture a global optimum in these situations. On the other hand, evolutionary methods designed to use the population of individuals may find a global solution even for ...

Cooperative Fuzzy Particle Swarm Optimization

Particle swarm optimization is a population based optimization technique that is based on probability rules. In this technique each particle moves toward their best individual and group experience had occurred. Fundamental problems of standard PSO algorithm are the falling into the trap of local optimum and its low speed of convergence. One approach for solving the above problems is to combine ...
