An adaptive ant colony algorithm is proposed in this paper to tackle continuous-space optimization problems, using a new objective-function-based heuristic pheromone assignment approach for pheromone update to filtrate solution candidates.Global optimal solutions can be reached more rapidly by self-adjusting the path searching behaviors of the ants according to objective values. The performance of the proposed algorithm is compared with a basic ant colony algorithm and a Square Quadratic Programming approach in solving two benchmark problems with multiple extremes. The results indicated that the efficiency and reliability of the proposed algorithm were greatly improved.展开更多

On the whole,61. 8% observing stations have good monitoring effectiveness,the observation environment of 73. 5% of observing stations meets the monitoring requirements of well-water-level. The operation status of the network is as a whole getting better,operation rates of 75% observing instruments are above 95%. Most well water levels can monitor crustal stress changes and seismic activities. However,some observation stations,due to inherent deficiency in wells,environmental disturbance,instrument aging,and low-level operation and maintenance,need to improve the monitoring efficiency level by taking measures such as observation environment improvement,equipment updating,and management training. About 6. 5% of the stations need to stop observation due to the unqualified observational environment.展开更多
