In this paper, a chaos search immune algorithm (CSIA) is proposed by integrating the chaos optimization algorithm and the clonal selection algorithm. First, optimization variables are expressed by chaotic variables through solution space transformation. Then, taking advantages of the ergodic and stochastic properties of chaotic variables, a chaos search is performed in the neighbourhoods of hig...

Very recently evolutionary optimization algorithms use the Genetic Algorithm to improve the result of Optimization problems. Several processes of the Genetic Algorithm are based on 'Random', that is fundamental to evolutionary algorithms, but important defections in the Genetic Algorithm are local convergence and high tolerances in the results, they have happened for randomness reason. In this ...

Ant colony optimization algorithm (ACO) is a heuristic bionic evolutionary system based on the population. The positive feedback of ACO helps to search the approximate optimal solution, however, it also makes it easier to get trapped in local optimal solution. In order to avoid prematurity and enhance its adaptability, this paper introduces chaos principle in ACO and proposes an adaptive chaoti...

Recently, chaos theory has been used in the development of novel techniques for global optimization, and particularly, in the specification of chaos optimization algorithms (COAs) based on the use of numerical sequences generated by means of chaotic map. In this paper, we present an improved chaotic optimization algorithm using a new two-dimensional discrete multifold mapping for optimizing non...

On the basis of the analysis of the basic information of the river basin reservoirs and application of chaotic ant swarm algorithm, the medium-and long-term optimization operation model is established, which regards the maximum annual generation capacity of the cascade hydropower stations as the main purpose. The simulation result shows the algorithm improves the total annual power generation o...

Chaos optimization algorithm (COA), which has the features of easy implementation, short execution time and robust mechanisms of escaping from the local optimum, is a promising tool for the engineering applications. The design of approaches to improve the convergence of the COA is a challenging issue. Improved mutative-scale parallel chaotic optimization algorithm (MPCOA) are proposed in this p...

Due to the fact that the error surface of adaptive infinite impulse response (IIR) systems is generally nonlinear and multimodal, the conventional derivative based techniques fail when used in adaptive identification of such systems. In this case, global optimization techniques are required in order to avoid the local minima. Harmony search (HS), a musical inspired metaheuristic, is a recently ...
