In recent years, the nature-inspired optimization algorithms known as intelligent optimization methods have been applied successfully for solving the different problems, along with the well-known mathematical methods. One of the new evolutionary algorithms presented lately is the imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA). This algorithm is based on the behaviour of imperialists in their attempt to conquer the colonies. In this paper, the original ICA has been extended and a new version of ICA has been proposed entitled "MICA". The proposed MICA uses an efficient assimilation strategy to enhance the global exploration ability and to preserve a premature convergence. This new assimilation scheme uses the most powerful imperialist's information to update. To validate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm, MICA is tested on a set of 28 non-linear benchmark functions with various dimensions and complexities. The results demonstrate that the proposed strategy enables the modified ICA to have better or at least comparable outcomes in comparison with the original ICA and the other state-of-the-art approaches at handing different types of problems.

This article presents an investigation into the application of a constrained imperialist competitive algorithm with a new penalty function to optimize an adaptive fuzzy proportional-integral-derivative controller for a pneumatic actuator. The integral absolute error and the maximum overshoot of the control system are considered as the cost functions. The constrained imperialist competitive algorithm-based optimization scheme is thus conducted to obtain the best structure of the fuzzy proportional-integral-derivative controller involving optimum shape and location of membership functions and suitable value of scale factors. Then, a simulation study based on the identified model of the pneumatic actuator and three control approaches namely conventional proportional-integral-derivative control, genetic algorithm-based adaptive fuzzy proportional-integral-derivative control and the proposed constrained imperialist competitive algorithm-based adaptive fuzzy proportional-integral-derivative control is carried out to evaluate the performance of the proposed controllers. Finally, an experimental rig is developed to verify the simulation outcomes. It is found that the constrained imperialist competitive algorithm-based fuzzy controller converges faster to an optimum solution compared to the genetic algorithm method. Besides, the superiority of the proposed constrained imperialist competitive algorithm-based design over other controllers is demonstrated.

There are great deals of consumer photographs which are affected by red-eye artifacts and arise frequently when shooting with flash. In this paper, a new technique is proposed to solve this problem. The proposed technique starts by detecting the skin-like regions using an optimized pixel-based neuro-fuzzy processing;morphological operations are then used to discard the extra areas after crossing the threshold. Once the skin regions are detected, five new features including geometric and color metrics are proposed to enhance the classification accuracy of the red-eye artifacts. After that, another optimized neuro-fuzzy classifier is employed to classify the red-eye regions by using the presented features. Final result is achieved by a definite syntax between skin and red-eye regions, and then, a simple correction method is used to correct the detected regions. Finally, a comparison is performed among the proposed method toward the other popular procedures and also a simple neuro-fuzzy. Final results showed the high performance of the proposed method.

The imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA) is a new global search strategy inspired by the socio- political process of imperialistic competition. ICA has higher performances such as faster convergence and better global minimum achievement [1]. Considering its undeniable effectiveness, its limitations and applicability in various fields, ICA is currently explored. In this paper we adopt ICA to deal with the inverse problem applied in eddy current non-destructive evaluation. We present test results and a comparison between ICA and the particle swarm optimisation algorithm (PSO).

In this paper, a new approach based on imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA) optimization is proposed for solving the optimal power flow (OPF) problem. ICA is one of the evolutionary optimization algorithms which are based on colonialism as a social-political phenomenon. The objective of the OPF problem is to minimize the system total generation cost with regard to some inequality and equality constraints such as the units' active and reactive power output limits, generation/demand balance, power flow limit of lines, voltage on busses, and transformer taps. To validate the proposed algorithm, it is applied to the IEEE 30-buses system and results are compared with those of genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization and the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is justified.

This work devoted to an ellipsoidal head of pressure vessel under internal pressure load. The analysis is aimed at finding an optimum weight of ellipsoidal head of pressure vessel due to maximum working pressure that ensures its full charge with stresses by using imperialist competitive algorithm and genetic algorithm. In head of pressure vessel the region of its joint with the cylindrical shell is loaded with shear force and bending moments. The load causes high bending stresses in the region of the joint. Therefore, imperialist competitive algorithm was used here to find the optimum shape of a head with minimum weight and maximum working pressure which the shear force and the bending moment moved toward zero. Two different size ellipsoidal head examples are selected and studied. The imperialist competitive algorithm results are compared with the genetic algorithm results.

This paper presents a method to solve the problem of natural crack shape reconstruction from eddy current testing signals by means of imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA). ICA is a new meta-heuristic optimization and stochastic search strategy which is inspired from socio-political phenomenon of imperialistic competition. In order to evaluate the efficiency on solving crack shape inversion problem, ICA is compared with some heuristic algorithms such as genetic algorithm, particles swarm optimization and ant colony optimization. The reconstructed results verified the efficiency of neural network based forward model and the promising of imperialist competitive algorithm in crack shape inversion.

The imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA) that was recently introduced has shown its good performance in optimization problems. This novel optimization algorithm is inspired by socio-political process of imperialistic competition in the real world. In this paper a new imperialist competitive algorithm using chaotic maps (CICA) is proposed. In the proposed algorithm, the chaotic maps are used to adapt the angle of colonies movement towards imperialist's position to enhance the escaping capability from a local optima trap. The ICA is easily stuck into a local optimum when solving high-dimensional multi-model numerical optimization problems. To overcome this shortcoming, we use four different chaotic map incorporated into ICA to enhance the exploration capability. Some famous unconstraint benchmark functions are used to test the CICA performance. Simulation results show this variant can improve the performance significantly.
