Group leaders optimization algorithm

Group Leaders Optimization Algorithm

We present a new global optimization algorithm in which the influence of the leaders in social groups is used as an inspiration for the evolutionary technique which is designed into a group architecture. To demonstrate the efficiency of the method, a standard suite of single and multi dimensional optimization functions along with the energies and the geometric structures of Lennard-Jones cluste...

Randomized Algorithm for UAVs Group Flight Optimization

The problem of small UAVs flight optimization is considered. To solve this problem thermal updrafts are used. For the precise detection of the thermal updrafts center the simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation (SPSA) type algorithm is proposed. If UAVs use thermal updrafts so they can save the energy during the flight. Therefore the flight time will be vary for different UAVs. In or...

Proximal gradient algorithm for group sparse optimization

In this paper, we propose a proximal gradient algorithm for solving a general nonconvex and nonsmooth optimization model of minimizing the summation of a C1,1 function and a grouped separable lsc function. This model includes the group sparse optimization via lp,q regularization as a special case. Our algorithmic scheme presents a unified framework for several well-known iterative thresholding ...

Social emotional optimization algorithm with group decision

Social emotional optimization algorithm (SEOA) is a new swarm intelligent technique by simulating human social behaviors. In SEOA, each individual represents a virtual person and pursues high society status by selecting the behaviors according to the corresponding emotional index in each iteration. Therefore, how to simulate the personal decision mechanism plays an important role for the algori...
