This paper proposed a coevolutionary algorithm combining improved particle swarm optimization algorithm with differential evolution method and its application was provided. Adaptive position escapable mechanism is introduced in the particle swarm optimization to improve the diversity of population and guarantee to achieve the global optima. The differential algorithm is employed in a cooperative manner to maintain the characteristic of fast convergence speed in the later convergence phase. The coevolutionary algorithm is then applied to skip trajectory optimization design for crew exploration vehicle with low-lift-to-drag and several comparative cases are conducted, Results show that coevolutionary algorithm is quite effective in finding the global optimal solution with great accuracy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
