This combination incorporates FSDE into the optimization process of GSA with an attempt to avoid the premature convergence in GSA. This strategy makes full use of the exploration ability of GSA and the exploitation ability of FSDE. IGSA is tested on a suite of benchmark functions. The experimental results demonstrate the good performance of IGSA.展开更多

文摘This paper presents an improved gravitational search algorithm (IGSA) as a hybridization of a relatively recent evolutionary algorithm called gravitational search algorithm (GSA), with the free search differential evolution (FSDE). This combination incorporates FSDE into the optimization process of GSA with an attempt to avoid the premature convergence in GSA. This strategy makes full use of the exploration ability of GSA and the exploitation ability of FSDE. IGSA is tested on a suite of benchmark functions. The experimental results demonstrate the good performance of IGSA.
