This paper proposes an improved cuckoo search (ICS) algorithm to establish the parameters of chaotic systems. In order to improve the optimization capability of the basic cuckoo search (CS) algorithm, the orthogonal design and simulated annealing operation are incorporated in the CS algorithm to enhance the exploitation search ability. Then the proposed algorithm is used to establish parameters...

Parameter estimation for fractional-order chaotic systems is an important issue in fractional-order chaotic control and synchronization and could be essentially formulated as a multidimensional optimization problem. A novel algorithm called quantum parallel particle swarm optimization (QPPSO) is proposed to solve the parameter estimation for fractional-order chaotic systems. The parallel charac...

CODEQ is a new, population-based meta-heuristic algorithm that is a hybrid of concepts from chaotic search, opposition-based learning, differential evolution and quantum mechanics. CODEQ has successfully been used to solve different types of problems (e.g. constrained, integer-programming, engineering) with excellent results. In this paper, CODEQ is used to train feed-forward neural networks. T...

Localization is a key technology in wireless sensor networks. Faced with the challenges of the sensors' memory, computational constraints, and limited energy, particle swarm optimization has been widely applied in the localization of wireless sensor networks, demonstrating better performance than other optimization methods. In particle swarm optimization-based localization algorithms, the varia...

In this paper, we propose a novel Spatial Clustering with Obstacles Constraints (SCOC) based on Dynamic Piecewise Linear Chaotic Map and Dynamic Nonlinear Particle Swarm Optimization (PNPSO) and K-Medoids, which is called PNPKSCOC. The contrastive experiments show that PNPKSCOC is effective and has better practicalities, and it performs better than PSO K-Medoids SCOC in terms of quantization er...

Blind source separation technique separates mixed signals blindly without any information on the mixing system. In this paper, we have used two evolutionary algorithms, namely, genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization for blind source separation. In these techniques a novel fitness function that is based on the mutual information and high order statistics is proposed. In order to evalu...

The evolutionary learning of fuzzy neural networks (FNN) consists of structure learning to determine the proper number of fuzzy rules and parameters learning to adjust the network parameters. Many optimization algorithms can be applied to evolve FNN. However the search space of most algorithms has fixed dimension, which cannot suit to dynamic structure learning of FNN. We propose a novel techni...

Since chaos systems generally have the intrinsic properties of sensitivity to initial conditions, topological mixing and density of periodic orbits, they may tactfully use the chaotic ergodic orbits to achieve the global optimum or their better approximation to given cost functions with high probability. During the past decade, they have increasingly received much attention from academic commun...
