چکیده

In this paper we present and discuss the results of experimentally comparing the performance of several variants of the standard swarm particle optimiser and a new approach to swarm based optimisation. The new algorithm, which we call predator prey optimiser, combines the ideas of particle swarm optimisation with a predator prey inspired strategy, which is used to maintain diversity in the swarm and preventing premature convergence to local suboptima. This algorithm and the most common variants of the particle swarm optimisers are tested in a set of multimodal functions commonly used as benchmark optimisation problems in evolutionary computation.

Swarm shape and its dynamics in a predator-swarm model

We consider a particle predator-swarm model introduced in [1]. In the continuum limit of many prey particles, we develop a numerical method which tracks the boundary of the swarm. We use this method to explore the variety and complexity of swarm shapes. We also consider a special limiting case where the predator is moving inside an infinite sea of prey. Two subcases are studied: one where the p...

Permanence and global asymptotic stability of a delayed predator-prey model with Hassell-Varley type functional response

Here, a predator-prey model with Hassell-Varley type functional responses is studied. Some sufficient conditions are obtained for the permanence and global asymptotic stability of the system by using comparison theorem and constructing a suitable Lyapunov functional. Moreover, an example is illustrated to verify the results by simulation.

Dynamics of an eco-epidemic model with stage structure for predator

The predator-prey model with stage structure for predator is generalized in the context of ecoepidemiology, where the prey population is infected by a microparasite and the predator completely avoids consuming the infected prey. The intraspecific competition of infected prey is considered. All the equilibria are characterized and the existence of a Hopf bifurcation at the coexistence equilibriu...

A New Kind of Pso: Predator Particle Swarm Optimization

Today, swarm intelligence is widely used in optimization problems. PSO is one the best swarm intelligence methods. In the method, each particle moves toward the direction in which the best individual and group experience has happened. The most important disadvantage of this method is that it falls in local optima. To fix the problem, a metaheuristic method is proposed in this paper. There has a...

A New Solution for the Cyclic Multiple-Part Type Three-Machine Robotic Cell Problem based on the Particle Swarm Meta-heuristic

In this paper, we develop a new mathematical model for a cyclic multiple-part type threemachine robotic cell problem. In this robotic cell a robot is used for material handling. The objective is finding a part sequence to minimize the cycle time (i.e.; maximize the throughput) with assumption of known robot movement. The developed model is based on Petri nets and provides a new method to calcul...
