Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a population-based swarm intelligence algorithm driven by the simulation of a social psychological metaphor instead of the survival of the fittest individual. Based on the swarm intelligence theory, this paper discusses the use of PSO with a Quasi-Newton (QN) local search method. The PSO is used to produce good potential solutions, and the QN is used to fine-tune of final solution of PSO. The hybrid methodology is validated for a test system consisting of 13 thermal units whose incremental fuel cost function takes into account the valve-point loading effects.

Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a population-based swarm intelligence algorithm driven by the simulation of a social psychological metaphor instead of the survival of the fittest individual. Based on the swarm intelligence theory, this paper discusses the use of PSO approaches using an operator and based on the Gaussian probability distribution function as a population space of a cultural algorithm, called cultural Gaussian PSO (GPSO-CA). Cultural algorithms are mechanisms that incorporate domain knowledge obtained during the evolutionary process, which increase the efficiency of the search process. These approaches are employed in a well-studied continuous optimization problem of mechanical engineering design.

Artificial neural networks and fuzzy systems, have gradually established themselves as popular tools in approximating complicated nonlinear systems and time series forecasting. This paper investigates the hypothesis that the nonlinear mathematical models of multilayer perceptron and radial basis function neural networks and the Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy system are able to provide a more accurate out-of-sample forecast than the traditional autoregressive moving average (ARMA) and ARMA generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (ARMA-GARCH) linear models. Using series of Brazilian exchange rate (R$/US$) returns with 15 min., 60 min., 120 min., daily and weekly basis, the out-pf-sample one-step-ahead forecast performance is compared. Results indicate that forecast performance is strongly related to the series' frequency and the forecasting evaluation shows that nonlinear models perform better than their linear counterparts. In the trade strategy based on forecasts, nonlinear models achieve higher returns when compared to a buy-and-hold strategy and to the linear models.

Artificial neural networks, in particular, feedforward multilayer networks and basis function networks, have gradually established themselves as a usual tool in approximating complex nonlinear systems. B-spline networks, a type of basis function neural network, are normally trained by gradient-based methods, which may fall into local minima during the learning phase. In order to overcome the drawbacks encountered by conventional learning methods, particle swarm optimization - a swarm intelligence methodology - can provide a stochastic global search of B-spline networks for nonlinear system identification. In this paper, a modified particle swarm optimization algorithm using Gaussian and Cauchy probability distributions are applied to adjust the control points of B-spline neural networks. Simulation results for the identification of Rossler systems are provided and demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed identification scheme.

This paper describes the application of differential evolution approaches to the optimization of a supply chain. Although simplified, this supply chain included stocks, production, transportation and distribution, in an integrated production-inventory-distribution system. The supply chain problem model is presented as well as a short introduction to each evolutionary algorithm. Differential evolution (DE) is an emergent evolutionary algorithm that offers three major advantages: it finds the global minimum regardless of the initial parameter values, it involves fast convergence, and it uses few control parameters. Inspired by the chaos theory, this work presents a new global optimization algorithm based on different DE approaches combined with chaotic sequences (DEC), called chaotic differential evolution algorithm. The performance of three evolutionary algorithm approaches (genetic algorithm, DE and DEC) and branch and bound method were evaluated with numerical simulations. Results were also compared with other similar approach in the literature. DEC was the algorithm that led to better results, outperforming previously published solutions. The simplicity and robustness of evolutionary algorithms in general, and the efficiency of DEC, in particular, suggest their great utility for the supply chain optimization problem, as well as other logistics-related problems.

Recently, evolutionary algorithms (e.g. genetic algorithms, evolutionary programming, and evolution strategies) have proven to be useful tools for the optimization of difficult problems in electromagnetics. Differential evolution (DE) is one comparatively simple variant of an evolutionary algorithm using floating-point encoding and few control parameters. This work presents improved DE algorithms based on linearly time varying control parameters, sinusoidal functions, and diversity analysis of population
