- Abstract:
-
When optimizing a continuous function using a standard electromagnetismlike mechanism (EM), there are known problems, including selection of optimal parameters and convergence speed. Numerical simulations indicate that EM is not sensitive to initial values, but algorithm convergence is slow and may even stagnate in the latter part of a search. One of the possible causes for stagnation is the equilibrium of dynamic forces between particles. In order to improve the performance of the EM, instead of the latter search process, a quadratic optimization method was proposed. When combined with the DavidonFletcherPowell (DFP) method, it optimized the approximate optimal results obtained by a presearch with the EM algorithm. This hybrid method fully exploits the strengths of the EM method and the DFP method. Experimental results showed it to be more efficient and precise. Finally, some improvements were made to the construction of the EM and a framework for the EM method was established that allows continuous function optimization. These results provide a reference for more indepth study of the EM algorithm.
