This paper presents an application of nature inspired population based algorithm namely gravitational search algorithm (GSA) to Linear Dipole Antenna Array (LDAA) optimization. The design parameters of the LDAA to be optimized are the length of the dipole antenna elements and spacings out of each of the group of two neighbor elements. The self developed GSA using MATLAB is used to optimize the design parameters of the LDAA to determine a set of performance parameters of LDAA such as directivity and side lobe level. The major goal of antenna design is to achieve narrow beamwidth (high directive gain) and low side lobe level. The optimized radiation patterns indicate that the application of the GSA to our optimization problem is found to be a promising one for obtaining a higher directivity and lower side lobe level.

This paper proposes a new approach to object tracking using the Hybrid gravitational search algorithm (HGSA). HGSA introduces the gravitational search algorithm (GSA) to the field of object tracking by incorporating Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) using a novel weight function that elegantly combines GSA's gravitational update component with the cognitive and social components of PSO. The hybridized algorithm acquires PSO's exploitation of past information and fast convergence property while retaining GSA's capability in fully utilizing all current information. The proposed framework is compared against standard natural phenomena based algorithms and Particle Filter. Experiment results show that HGSA largely reduces convergence to local optimum and significantly out-performed the standard PSO algorithm, the standard GSA and Particle Filter in terms of tracking accuracy and stability under occlusion and non-linear movement in a large search space.

Clustering is an efficient technique for saving energy of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In this paper, a gravitational search algorithm (GSA) based approach has been presented called GSA-EEC (GSA based Energy Efficient Clustering). The algorithm is designed with an efficient encoding scheme of an and a new fitness function. For the efficient design of WSNs. we consider the Euclidian distance from the sensors to gateways and gateways to sink and residual energy of gateways. The GSA-EEC is simulated extensively with varying number of sensor and gateways and various scenarios of WSNs. To show the efficacy of the GSA-EEC, we compared with some of the benchmark clustering algorithms.

A nature inspired evolutionary computing approach called, gravitational search algorithm (GSA) has been proposed for optimal placement of StatCom, to maximize the voltage stability margin and also improve voltage profile by minimizing the total voltage deviation in the power system. The proposed nature inspired evolutionary computing approach has been performed using two steps. As the first step, the weakest buses selected for placement of StatCom using modal analysis. In the second step GSA is applied, to select the optimal allocation of StatCom considering these selected weakest buses. Fuzzy performance Index has been used, for combining the various objectives which are conflicting in nature. The proposed nature inspired computing technique (GSA) has been tested on the standard IEEE 14-bus system considering the stressed condition as well as contingencies during stressed condition. To establish the superiority of proposed GSA approach, the results using Genetic algorithm (GA) were compared the performance of GSA. On the basis of comparison, GSA has been found to be superior to GA with respect to it convergence characteristic and accuracy as well.

Optimization methods have been widely used in image processing and computer vision. In this paper, k-nearest neighbor (KNN) and real-valued gravitational search algorithm (RGSA) are used to detect the breast cancer tumors in mammography images. GSA is used as a tool for optimization of the features weighting (FW) and tuning the classifier. FW-KNN based on GSA is employed to enhance the K-NN classification accuracy. The weighted features and the tuned K-NN classifier are utilized for detecting tumors. The obtained results show good efficiency of GSA-based FW-KNN classification for breast cancer tumor detection.

In order to avoid the local optimum phenomenon, mutation processing is applied to the GSA. The IGSA is applied to solve the economic load dispatch problems with the valve point effects, which has 13 generators and a load demand of 2520 MW. Calculation results show that the algorithm in this paper can deal with the ELD problems with high stability.

Simultaneous optimization of different validity measures can capture different data characteristics of remote sensing imagery (RSI) and thereby achieving high quality classification results. In this paper, two conflicting cluster validity indices, the Xie-Beni (XB) index and the fuzzy C-means (FCM) (Jm) measure, are integrated with a diversity-enhanced and memory-based multi-objective gravitational search algorithm (DMMOGSA) to present a novel multi-objective optimization based RSI classification method. In this method, the Gabor filter method is firstly implemented to extract texture features of RSI. Then, the texture features are syncretized with the spectral features to construct the spatial-spectral feature space/set of the RSI. Afterwards, cluster of the spectral-spatial feature set is carried out on the basis of the proposed method. To be specific, cluster centers are randomly generated initially. After that, the cluster centers are updated and optimized adaptively by employing the DMMOGSA. Accordingly, a set of non-dominated cluster centers are obtained. Therefore, numbers of image classification results of RSI are produced and users can pick up the most promising one according to their problem requirements. To quantitatively and qualitatively validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, the proposed classification method was applied to classifier two aerial high-resolution remote sensing imageries. The obtained classification results are compared with that produced by two single cluster validity index based and two state-of-the-art multi-objective optimization algorithms based classification results. Comparison results show that the proposed method can achieve more accurate RSI classification.

A hybrid algorithm for short-term load forecasting is proposed. The particle swarm optimization algorithm used in the training phase of the artificial neural network is optimized by combining it with the gravitational search algorithm. In this paper, we have combined the exploitation of PSO and exploration of GSA to form a single algorithm that can be used to get more accurate results for load forecast. The results reflect that hybrid algorithm avoids local minimum and have better convergence speed than the PSO algorithm and GSA algorithm individually.

This paper introduces an iris classification system using FFNNGSA and FFNNPSO. The use of both methods has not been done before in iris recognition. This iris identification system consists of localization of the iris region, normalization, feature extraction and then classification as a final stage. A Canny Edge Detection scheme and a Circular Hough Transform are used to detect the iris boundaries. After that the extracted IRIS region is normalized using Daugman rubber sheet model. Next, Haar wavelet transform is used for extracting features from the normalized iris region then the feature matrix is reduced using the principle component analysis (PCA). Finally, both particle swarm optimization (PSO) and gravitational search algorithm (GSA) are used for training a forward neural network to get the optimum weights and biases that give minimum error and higher recognition rate for the FFNN in iris classification. These optimization techniques used in classification strengthen the work. The results showed that training the feedforward neural network by GSA is better than training it by PSO in an iris recognition system.

gravitational search algorithm (GSA) is a swarm intelligence based optimization algorithm which is based on the law of gravity and the law of motion of mass interaction between individuals. In GSA, the solution search process depends on the velocity which is a function of acceleration and the previous velocity. In the solution search process, acceleration plays important role and depends on the masses and forces of the individuals. Due to this component, GSA some times slow in convergence, while some time prematurely converge to the local optima. To avoid this situation, a new velocity update strategy is proposed, in which new velocity depends on the previous velocity and the acceleration, based on the fitness of the solutions. The proposed strategy is named as fitness based gravitational search algorithm (FBGSA). In FBGSA, the high fit solutions are motivated to exploit the promising search regions, while the low fit solutions have to explore the search space. Further, performance of the proposed strategy is compared with basic GSA and another swarm intelligence based algorithm, namely biogeography based optimization (BBO) algorithm over 16 different benchmark functions. Reported results show that FBGSA is a competitive variant of GSA algorithm.
