The flexible job-shop scheduling problem (FJSP) is a well-known combinational optimization problem. Studying FJSP is essential for promoting production efficiency and effectiveness. Different kinds of improved particleswarmoptimization (PSO) algorithms have produced superior results for FJSP in the last few decades. Meanwhile, the human learning optimization (HLO) algorithm, a simple and adaptive learning algorithm for learning system, has helped improve algorithm performance by imitating human learning behavior in recent research. The study proposes a hybrid HLO-PSO algorithm, which utilizes various combinations of the proposed improved PSO and proposed scheduling strategies to solve FJSP under the algorithm architecture of HLO. With the guidance of HLO, the individual learning ability of every particle is further promoted based on the existed advantage of collective action decision of PSO;and with the help of rule-based scheduling strategies, the search capacity of the proposed improved PSO is also further enhanced. By the detailed exposition and analysis, the proposed HLO-PSO is easily implemented and embedded in other production system software or learning system software. Meanwhile, by using it to solve several groups of FJSP instances, the result comparisons with other related algorithms reveal that HLO-PSO can efficiently solve most of single-objective FJSP.

In this paper, an improved particleswarmoptimization (PSO) algorithm, which can perform a global search over the search space with a faster convergence speed, is proposed for frequency-selective surface (FSS) design. Four improvement strategies including better particle initialization, acceleration coefficient dynamic adjustment, search space reset, and particle density control are applied to PSO algorithm aiming to accelerate convergence and, at the same time, improve its search capability. For verification, the improved PSO algorithm has been successfully implemented to the square loop FSS design. Then, the optimized results are compared to those obtained by the standard PSO algorithm as well as those existing in the literature, respectively, proving that the improved PSO algorithm has the capacity for accelerating convergence on the premise of ensuring the optimization accuracy.

Simultaneously estimating plasma parameters of the ionosphere presents a problem for the incoherent scatter radar (ISR) technique at altitudes between similar to 130 and similar to 300 km. Different mixtures of ion concentrations and temperatures generate almost identical backscattered signals, hindering the discrimination between plasma parameters. This temperature-ion composition ambiguity problem is commonly solved either by using models of ionospheric parameters or by the addition of parameters determined from the plasma line of the radar. Some studies demonstrated that it is also possible to unambiguously estimate ISR signals with very low signal fluctuation using the most frequently used non-linear least squares (NLLS) fitting algorithm. In a previous study, the unambiguous estimation performance of the particleswarmoptimization (PSO) algorithm was evaluated, outperforming the standard NLLS algorithm fitting signals with very small fluctuations. Nevertheless, this study considered a confined search range of plasma parameters assuming a priori knowledge of the behavior of the ion composition and signals with very large SNR obtained at the Arecibo Observatory, which are not commonly feasible at other ISR facilities worldwide. In the present study, we conduct Monte Carlo simulations of PSO fittings to evaluate the performance of this algorithm at different signal fluctuation levels. We also determine the effect of adding different combinations of parameters known from the plasma line, different search ranges, and internal configurations of PSO parameters. Results suggest that similar performances are obtained by PSO and NLLS algorithms, but PSO has much larger computational requirements. The PSO algorithm obtains much lower convergences when no a priori information is provided.

Power Scheduling Problem (PSP) is a problem of schedule the smart home appliances at appropriate time period according to an electricity pricing scheme. The smart home appliances can be scheduled by shifting their time operations from period to another. The significant objective of the scheduling process is to reduce the electricity bill and Peak-to-average ratio (PAR) and improve the user comfort level. In this paper, particleswarmoptimization (PSO) algorithm is adapted in order to handle the PSP and to obtain an optimal smart home appliances schedule. Smart battery (SB) is formulated and used in this work to enhance the schedule of the appliances by storing the power at low peak periods and use the stored power by the smart home appliances at peak periods. The simulation results proved the efficiency of using the proposed SB in terms of reducing electricity bill and improving the user comfort level. In addition, PSO is compared with genetic algorithm (GA) in order to evaluate its performance. PSO outperforms GA in terms of achieving the PSP objectives.

A Voltage lift performance is an excellent role to DC/DC conversion topology. The Voltage Lift Multilevel Inverter (VL-MLI) topology is suggested with minimal number of components compared to the conventional multilevel inverter (MLI). In this method, the Modified particleswarmoptimization (MPSO) conveys a primary task for the VL-MLI using Half Height (H-H) method, it determine the required optimum switching angles to eliminate desired value of harmonics. The simulation circuit for fifteen level output uses single switch voltage-lift inverter fed with resistive and inductive loads (R & L load). The power quality is developed by voltage-lift multilevel inverter with minimized harmonics under the various Modulation Index (MI) while varied from 0.1 up to 1. The circuit is designed in a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), which includes the MPSO rules for fast convergence to reduce the lower order harmonics and finds the best optimum switching angle values. To report this problem the H-H has implemented with MPSO to reduce minimum Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) for simulation circuit using Proteus 7.7 simulink tool. Due to the absence of multiple switches, filter and inductor element exposes for novelty of the proposed system. The comparative analysis has been carried-out with existing optimization and modulation methods.

An application based on a microservice architecture with a set of independent, fine-grained modular services is desirable, due to its low management cost, simple deployment, and high portability. This type of container technology has been widely used in cloud computing. Several methods have been applied to container-based microservice scheduling, but they come with significant disadvantages, such as high network transmission overhead, ineffective load balancing, and low service reliability. In order to overcome these disadvantages, in this study, we present a multi-objective optimization problem for container-based microservice scheduling. Our approach is based on the particle swarm optimization algorithm, combined parallel computing, and Pareto-optimal theory. The particle swarm optimization algorithm has fast convergence speed, fewer parameters, and many other advantages. First, we detail the various resources of the physical nodes, cluster, local load balancing, failure rate, and other aspects. Then, we discuss our improvement with respect to the relevant parameters. Second, we create a multi-objective optimization model and use a multi-objective optimization parallel particle swarm optimization algorithm for container-based microservice scheduling (MOPPSO-CMS). This algorithm is based on user needs and can effectively balance the performance of the cluster. After comparative experiments, we found that the algorithm can achieve good results, in terms of load balancing, network transmission overhead, and optimization speed.

optimization methodologies are being utilized in various structural designing practices to solve size, shape and topology optimization problems. A heuristic particleswarmoptimization (HPSO) algorithm was anticipated in this article in order to address the size optimization problem of truss with stress and displacement constraints. This article contributes in improvisation in the truss structure design rationality while reducing the engineering cost by proposing the HPSO approach. Primarily, the basic principle of the original PSO algorithm is presented, then the compression factor is established to improve the PSO algorithm, and a reasonable parameter setting value is presented. To validate the performance of the proposed optimization approach, various experimental illustrations were performed. The results show that the convergence history of experimental illustration 2 and experimental illustration 3 is optimal. The experimental illustration 2 converges after about 150 iterations, however, the experimental illustration 3 is close to the optimal solution after about 500 iterations. Therefore, the PSO algorithm can successfully optimize the size design of truss structures, and the algorithm is also time efficient. The improved PSO algorithm has good convergence and stability, and can effectively optimize the size design of truss structures.

The bonding performance of the interface between two concrete layers is of great importance for China Rail Track System III (CRTS III) slab ballastless track structure. While the bonding performance is close to the distribution and amounts of defects such as the bubble or the void on the bonding interface. In this paper, combining the Support Vector Machine (SVM) with the particleswarmoptimization (PSO) algorithm, named SVM-PSO algorithm is used to predict the splitting tensile strength of the bonding interface based on the distribution of defects. And the influence of different parameters in the SVM-PSO algorithm on the prediction ability is discussed. Results indicate that the relative error between the average strength value of every 100 predictions and the experimental strength value is less than 5%. The achievements will provide an effective method for predicting the splitting tensile strength of the bonding interface between two concrete layers like CRTS III slab ballastless track structure in practice.

In photovoltaic power generation systems, pv arrays are often affected by local shadow phenomena, resulting in the unstable operation of the system and the reduction of output power. In addition, pv array's p-u characteristic curve will show multiple peaks, and the traditional maximum power point tracking(MPPT) algorithm cannot complete the tracking of the maximum power point because it can only find the single peak. particleswarmoptimization(PSO) algorithm has good global optimization ability of multi-peak, which is widely used in tracking the maximum power point of local shadow. However, PSO algorithm has the shortcoming of insufficient convergence speed and low search accuracy. Therefore, a particleswarmoptimization(YSPSO) algorithm with compression factor is proposed to effectively improve the global search ability and local improvement ability of the whole algorithm.
