摘要This paper provides a thorough examination of Genetic Algorithms(GAs),a category of evolutionary computation methods derived from the concepts of natural selection and genetics.The main concept and operational principle of GAs are elucidated,highlighting the evolution of populations of candidate solutions across multiple generations to get optimal or near-optimal solutions for complicated problems.The paper delineates the sequential phases of a conventional GA,encompassing problem formulation,solution encoding,initialization of population,fitness evaluation,selection,crossover,mutation,and termination criteria,so offering a coherent framework for comprehending the algorithm’s functionality.Moreover,numerous prominent genetic operators,including crossover and mutation,are examined,highlighting their distinct forms and processes for fostering diversity and exploration within the search space.Also,the paper emphasizes the benefits of GAs,including their capacity to address nonlinear,multimodal,and high-dimensional optimization challenges without necessitating gradient information,along with their adaptability in resolving both continuous and discrete issues.The limitations and constraints of GAs,such as computing expense,parameter optimization,and the risk of premature convergence,are thoroughly analyzed.The paper examines various applications of GAs across fields,including engineering design,control systems,combinatorial optimization,machine learning,operations research,and multi-objective optimization,demonstrating the versatility and practical significance of this evolutionary method.This work establishes a robust basis for scholars and practitioners seeking to implement GAs in intricate optimization challenges.The review indicates that GAs have greatly progressed from Holland’s original formulation to specialized variations,such as real-valued,permutation,and tree-based encodings,each tailored to certain issue categories.The critical study indicates that although classical GAs are proficient in global exploration,their hybridization with local search techniques(memetic algorithms),swarm intelligence(GA-PSO),and surrogate models significantly improves convergence time and solution accuracy.The study highlights ongoing research deficiencies,such as the disparity between theoretical convergence proofs and the actual performance of algorithms,as well as the necessity for systematic recommendations in the design of hybrid algorithms.
摘要Optimizing convolutional neural networks(CNNs)for IoT attack detection remains a critical yet challenging task due to the need to balance multiple performance metrics beyond mere accuracy.This study proposes a unified and flexible optimization framework that leverages metaheuristic algorithms to automatically optimize CNN configurations for IoT attack detection.Unlike conventional single-objective approaches,the proposed method formulates a global multi-objective fitness function that integrates accuracy,precision,recall,and model size(speed/model complexity penalty)with adjustable weights.This design enables both single-objective and weightedsum multi-objective optimization,allowing adaptive selection of optimal CNN configurations for diverse deployment requirements.Two representativemetaheuristic algorithms,GeneticAlgorithm(GA)and Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO),are employed to optimize CNNhyperparameters and structure.At each generation/iteration,the best configuration is selected as themost balanced solution across optimization objectives,i.e.,the one achieving themaximum value of the global objective function.Experimental validation on two benchmark datasets,Edge-IIoT and CIC-IoT2023,demonstrates that the proposed GA-and PSO-based models significantly enhance detection accuracy(94.8%–98.3%)and generalization compared with manually tuned CNN configurations,while maintaining compact architectures.The results confirm that the multi-objective framework effectively balances predictive performance and computational efficiency.This work establishes a generalizable and adaptive optimization strategy for deep learning-based IoT attack detection and provides a foundation for future hybrid metaheuristic extensions in broader IoT security applications.

摘要In the conceptual design phase of the satellite thermal management system,components layout optimization and structural topology optimization of satellite panel can meet global and local thermal management requirements,respectively.However,achieving non-interfering coupling between these two optimization processes remains a challenge.An integrated layout-structure design method based on thermal metamaterials is proposed,which comprises two design stages.In the first stage,components layout optimization is conducted to maximize temperature uniformity within the satellite module,yielding a globally optimized layout with balanced thermal characteristics.In the second stage,topology optimization guided by the design principle of thermal metamaterials is implemented in critical local panel regions to satisfy differentiated heat transfer requirements of components with diverse functional and thermal sensitivity properties.The key innovation lies in utilizing thermal metamaterials as a mediator to synergistically couple global components layout optimization with local structural topology optimization,which enables customized local heat flux manipulation without interfering with the globally optimized temperature field derived from the layout optimization.The method introduces neither additional mass nor special materials,offering advantages of low cost,high reliability,and strong versatility.It provides a new solution paradigm for the design of passive thermal management systems in satellites.

摘要Deployable Composite Thin-Walled Structures(DCTWS)are widely used in space applications due to their ability to compactly fold and self-deploy in orbit,enabled by cutouts.Cutout design is crucial for balancing structural rigidity and flexibility,ensuring material integrity during large deformations,and providing adequate load-bearing capacity and stability once deployed.Most research has focused on optimizing cutout size and shape,while topology optimization offers a broader design space.However,the anisotropic properties of woven composite laminates,complex failure criteria,and multi-performance optimization needs have limited the exploration of topology optimization in this field.This work derives the sensitivities of bending stiffness,critical buckling load,and the failure index of woven composite materials with respect to element density,and formulates both single-objective and multi-objective topology optimization models using a linear weighted aggregation approach.The developed method was integrated with the commercial finite element software ABAQUS via a Python script,allowing efficient application to cutout design in various DCTWS configurations to maximize bending stiffness and critical buckling load under material failure constraints.Optimization of a classical tubular hinge resulted in improvements of 107.7%in bending stiffness and 420.5%in critical buckling load compared to level-set topology optimization results reported in the literature,validating the effectiveness of the approach.To facilitate future research and encourage the broader adoption of topology optimization techniques in DCTWS design,the source code for this work is made publicly available via a Git Hub link:http://gffzz188fe103f8f1460asfvobxknfq50k6ob6.ffgz.tsg.suse.edu.cn/jinhao-ok1/Topo-for-DCTWS.git.

摘要When the Mars vehicles encounter a storm or other failure situations,the ability to abort and rise to a predetermined orbit in the powered descent flight phase is critical.Unlike the abort guidance mission of lunar exploration,Mars has an atmosphere and stronger gravity,leading to high requirements on the efficiency,autonomy,reliability,and robustness of the guidance system.To this end,this paper proposes a safety abort guidance algorithm to stop the descent of the Mars vehicle with fast responses in the initial stage of abort.Then,to meet the requirements of rendezvous and docking with the orbiter,the constraints of terminal orbit parameters and orbit insertion time and position in the perifocal coordinate system are explicitly defined.To achieve a higher terminal orbit,a“powered-coast-powered”trajectory onboard optimization problem is established,which allows the trajectory optimization problem to be handled by convex optimization rapidly and accurately.Moreover,a switching strategy between the online trajectory optimization and terminal iterative guidance is detailed to ensure the accuracy of terminal orbit insertion.Finally,numerical experiments with Monte Carlo tests under various conditions are conducted to verify the efficiency,robustness,and onboard application performance of the proposed method.

摘要Metaheuristic algorithms have emerged as indispensable tools for solving NP-hard optimization problems that defy traditional methods.To advance the field’s focus on algorithmic performance,this study introduces the Theory Evolution Optimization(TEO)–an efficient metaheuristic inspired by the evolution of scientific theory.TEO simulates the competitive,accumulative,and replacement processes among scientific hypotheses,mirroring the evolution from a hypothesis to an established scientific theory.The performance of TEO is validated through extensive experimental simulations and benchmarked against 28 popular algorithms,including highly competitive champions such as EBOwithCMAR,LSHADE_cnEpSi,and LSHADE.Pairwise comparisons between TEO and the latest algorithms are conducted using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test,with multiple comparisons managed by the Friedman test.Initially,TEO is tested on the classical IEEE CEC2017 and the latest IEEE CEC2022 benchmark functions.TEO successfully addresses four prominent engineering design problems in constrained continuous space for practical applications.Additionally,a binary TEO(BTEO)variant is introduced and applied to feature selection tasks in discrete space.Experimental results consistently demonstrate that TEO proposes highly competitive outcomes in optimization problems.The source codes for this research are accessible to the public at http://gffzze767f4cc5ce545d8sfvobxknfq50k6ob6.ffgz.tsg.suse.edu.cn/TEO.html.

摘要This paper develops an Oscillation-avoidance-based Multistage Trust-region Sequential Convex Programming(OMTSCP)method for the highly nonlinear entry trajectory optimization problem of Cross-Domain Morphing Vehicles(CDMVs).The decoupling of states and controls for complex nonlinear dynamics is achieved by defining new control and state variables.A series of sub convex problems is formulated by successive linearization and discretization of the constraints.The proposed Trust-region Sequential Convex Programming(TSCP)scheme consists of three stages:an initial guess generation stage,a basic solution stage,and an optimal solution stage.An approach to penalize the dynamic relaxation is firstly developed to obtain an initial guess with considerable accuracy and significantly improve the robustness of the algorithm by overcoming the drawbacks of potential artificial infeasibility.The oscillation phenomenon of the TSCP method under rectangular trust region is then investigated,and a novel N-shape-based oscillation identification method is proposed to identify the oscillation accurately.Finally,an oscillation-avoidance method based on the sort trust-region is proposed to improve the convergence of the TSCP algorithm.Numerical comparisons of the proposed method and a typical TSCP method,as well as the morphing and fixed-morphing vehicles are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method and the performance advantages of the morphing vehicle.The robustness of the method is further verified by Monte Carlo simulation.

摘要Vertical roller mills are essential for energy-intensive grinding in cement,minerals,and metallurgy industries,consuming up to 50%of plant electricity and frequently experiencing operational instabilities(including excessive vibration and main motor current fluctuations)that drive unplanned downtime,increased wear,and reduced throughput.Despite their importance,real-time autonomous optimization remains challenging due to the nonlinear interactions among grinding pressure,feed rate,separator speed,and aerodynamic factors,which limit traditional control strategies under varying loads.This paper presents a real-time operational optimization system for large-scale vertical roller mills using big industrial data and artificial intelligence(AI).From a 5400 kW Loesche LM56.4 mill,2,764,800 samples were collected at 1 Hz over 32 days of continuous production.A systematic pipeline was developed:quartile-based outlier-robust cleaning;domain-informed feature engineering including Total Current;Random Forest(RF)permutation importance selection of the top 15 parameters;and Extreme Gradient Boosting(XGBoost)regression models with hyperparameters tuned by Tree-structured Parzen Estimator(TPE)Bayesian optimization.The resulting models achieved strong predictive performance,Mean Absolute Percentage Error(MAPE)of 1.3%(95%CI:1.1%–1.5%)for main motor current(R2=0.9997)and 5.8%(95%CI:5.3%–6.3%)for shell vibration(R2=0.9717),representing reductions of 89%and 59%,respectively,relative to the Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM)baseline.These surrogates were embedded into a tabular Q-learning Reinforcement Learning(RL)agent that autonomously adjusts feed rate,grinding pressure,separator speed,and exhaust damper position via a discrete action space and multi-objective reward function,communicating with the Distributed Control System(DCS)via Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture(OPC-UA).Closed-loop evaluation yielded simultaneous reductions of 6.0%in peak current(181.92→170.04 A)and 9.4%in peak vibration(5.51→4.99 mm/s)while maintaining throughput.A PyQt5-based graphical interface enabling real-time monitoring,predictive alerts,and automatic DCS write-back was deployed and operated stably for two weeks.

摘要Quantum computing,leveraging the properties of quantum physics such as quantum superposition and entanglement,possesses the potential for exponential acceleration compared to classical computing.It can significantly enhance solution efficiency in topology optimization and effectively avoid the entrapment in local optima.This paper proposes a hybrid classical-quantum computing framework to solve the stress-constrained topology optimization problem for truss structures.Initially,structural analyses are performed on a classical computer to determine the stresses of truss members.Then,the optimization problem is formulated through incremental updates of member cross-sectional areas to make it compatible with a quantum annealer.The update strategy consists of a directional-control function and a magnitude-control function.By embedding stress constraints directly into the directional-control function,the original optimization problem is reformulated as a quadratic unconstrained binary optimization model suitable for quantum annealing.To realize a balance between solution accuracy and iteration efficiency,a dynamic strategy for adjusting the magnitude of area increments is proposed.Thus,the quantum annealer can effectively achieve the optimal solutions.When only the access time of the quantum processing unit is considered,the results from 2D and 3D examples of truss topology optimization validate the effectiveness of the proposed framework,and demonstrate the great potential of quantum computing in structural optimization.

摘要Using platform-target matching deviation,anti-collision difficulty,trajectory complexity,and total drilling footage as objective functions,and comprehensively considering constraints such as platform layout area,drilling extension limits,underground target distribution and trajectory collision risks,a model of platform location-wellbore trajectory collaborative optimization for a complex-structure well factory is developed.A hybrid heuristic algorithm is proposed by combining an improved sparrow search algorithm(ISSA)for optimizing platform parameters in the outer layer and a directed artificial bee colony algorithm(DABC)for optimizing trajectory parameters in the inner layer.The alternating iteration of ISSA-DABC facilitates the resolution of the collaborative optimization problem.The ISSA-DABC provides an effective solution to the platform-trajectory collaborative optimization problem for complex-structure well factories and overcomes the tendency of the traditional platform-trajectory stepwise optimization workflow to become trapped in local optima and yield inconsistent designs.The ISSA-DABC has a strong global search capability,fast convergence and good robustness,and can simultaneously satisfy multiple engineering constraints on drilling footage,trajectory complexity and collision risk,and enables automated,workflow-wide generation of constraint-compliant,near-globally optimal platform-trajectory configurations.Field applications further demonstrate that ISSA-DABC significantly reduces the objective function value and collision risk,yielding more rational platform layouts and well factory design parameters.
摘要Metaheuristic optimization algorithms continue to be essential for solving complex real-world problems,yet existingmethods often struggle with balancing exploration and exploitation across diverse problem landscapes.This paper proposes a novel nature-inspired metaheuristic optimization algorithm named the Painted Wolf Optimization(PWO)algorithm.The main inspiration for the PWO algorithm is the group behavior and hunting strategy of painted wolves,also known as African wild dogs in the wild,particularly their unique consensus-based voting rally mechanism,a behavior fundamentally distinct fromthe social dynamics of grey wolves.In this innovative process,pack members explore different areas to find prey;then,they hold a pre-hunting voting rally based on the alpha member to determine who will begin the hunt and attack the prey.The efficiency of the proposed PWO algorithm is evaluated by a comparison study with other well-known optimization algorithms on 33 test functions,including the Congress on Evolutionary Computation(CEC)2017 suite and different real-world engineering design cases.Furthermore,the algorithm’s performance is further tested across a spectrum of optimization problems with extensive unknown search spaces.This includes its application within the field of cybersecurity,specifically in the context of training a machine learning-based intrusion detection system(ML-IDS),achieving an accuracy of 0.90 and an F-measure of 0.9290.Statistical analyses using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test(all p<0.05)indicate that the PWO algorithm outperforms existing state-of-the-art algorithms,providing superior solutions in diverse and unpredictable optimization landscapes.This demonstrates its potential as a robust method for tackling complex optimization problems in various fields.The source code for thePWOalgorithmis publicly available at http://gffzz188fe103f8f1460asfvobxknfq50k6ob6.ffgz.tsg.suse.edu.cn/saeidsheikhi/Painted-Wolf-Optimization.
摘要The increasing demand for cost-effective and efficient renewable energy solutions presents significant optimization challenges in hybrid energy systems.This paper addresses these challenges by conducting a comparative analysis of three advanced optimization algorithms-Levy Flight Optimization(LFO),Archimedean Optimization(AO),and Quantum Gorilla Optimization(QGO)-to minimize the Total Net Present Cost(TNPC)and Levelized Cost of Energy(LCOE)in hybrid renewable energy systems.The study integrates critical cost parameters such as Capital Expenditure(CAPEX),Operational Expenditure(OPEX),replacement costs,and salvage values into an advanced optimization framework.Three system configurations are evaluated:Wind Turbines and Fuel Cells(WT/FC),Photovoltaic Systems and Fuel Cells(PV/FC),and a combined system(PV/WT/FC),under varying availability levels(100%,96%,and 92%).The results demonstrate that LFO consistently outperforms the other algorithms,achieving the lowest TNPC of$0.051 for the WT/FC system at 96%availability,compared to$0.719 using QGO.These findings underscore the importance of selecting tailored optimization strategies to balance cost,performance,and system reliability.This research provides valuable insights into designing efficient and economically viable renewable energy systems,particularly,for applications requiring consistent high energy output,such as monocrystalline and polycrystalline PV-based configurations.
摘要Optimization is the key to obtaining efficient utilization of resources in structural design.Due to the complex nature of truss systems,this study presents a method based on metaheuristic modelling that minimises structural weight under stress and frequency constraints.Two new algorithms,the Red Kite Optimization Algorithm(ROA)and Secretary Bird Optimization Algorithm(SBOA),are utilized on five benchmark trusses with 10,18,37,72,and 200-bar trusses.Both algorithms are evaluated against benchmarks in the literature.The results indicate that SBOA always reaches a lighter optimal.Designs with reducing structural weight ranging from 0.02%to 0.15%compared to ROA,and up to 6%–8%as compared to conventional algorithms.In addition,SBOA can achieve 15%–20%faster convergence speed and 10%–18%reduction in computational time with a smaller standard deviation over independent runs,which demonstrates its robustness and reliability.It is indicated that the adaptive exploration mechanism of SBOA,especially its Levy flight–based search strategy,can obviously improve optimization performance for low-and high-dimensional trusses.The research has implications in the context of promoting bio-inspired optimization techniques by demonstrating the viability of SBOA,a reliable model for large-scale structural design that provides significant enhancements in performance and convergence behavior.
