Swarm intelligent algorithm for re-entrant hybrid flow shop scheduling problems

Abstract

In order to solve Re-entrant Hybrid Flowshop (RHFS) scheduling problems and establish simulations and processing models, this paper uses Wolf Pack Algorithm (WPA) as global optimization. For local assignment, it takes minimum remaining time rule. Scouting behaviors of wolf are changed in former optimization by means of levy flight, extending searching ranges and increasing rapidity of convergence. When it comes to local extremum of WPA, dynamic regenerating individuals with high similarity adds diversity. Hanming distance is used to judge individual similarity for increased quality of individuals, enhanced search performance of the algorithm in solution space and promoted evolutionary vitality.A painting workshop in a bus manufacture enterprise owns typical features of re-entrant hybrid flowshop. Regarding it as the algorithm applied target, this paper focus on resolving this problem with LDWPA (Dynamic wolf pack algorithm based on Levy Flight). Results show that LDWPA can solve re-entrant hybrid flowshop scheduling problems effectively.

Summarisation, Simulation and Comparison of Nine Control Algorithms for an Active Control Mount with an Oscillating Coil Actuator

“…The ACM control algorithms play a decisive role in its performance. Different researchers often use different control algorithms [6]. Roman et al designed a piezoelectric ACM, the actuator is in no need of bearing static load; the test showed that through the series arrangement, the ACM could significantly reduce the second-order vibration excitation [7].…”

Research and Application of a New Lion Swarm Algorithm

“…Swarm intelligence is an algorithm inspired by natural biota and generated by simulating the behavior laws of things or organisms in nature [1]. Due to the characteristics of fast convergence speed, easy implementation, and simple operation [2], it is widely used in industrial engineering [3,4], production scheduling [5], information communication [6] and other fields. For example, Anter et al [7] proposed a new model to identify the state of epileptic seizures.…”
