Solving Optimization Problems

Solving Constrained Optimization Problems Using Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm (Matlab Code)

Hello everyone! I’m going to show you my Matlab code of Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm (PSO algorithm) for solving constrained optimization problems.

To validate the performance of this PSO algorithm, we use a benchmark problem namely constrained box volume optimization problem. Of course, you can download and customize my Matlab code of P-S-O algorithm to solve optimization problems in your field.

Here are the details of the benchmark problem.

Did you know that Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm and Genetic Algorithm are the most popular stochastic optimization algorithms for solving complex large-scale optimization problems.

Let’s see it.

objective_function.m

function Z = objective_function(X)
L = X(1);
W = X(2);
H = X(3);
% Constraint
P = 2*L*W + 2*L*H + 2*W*H - 10;
if P < 0
    P = 0;
else
    P = 1; % Penalty
end
Z = L*W*H*(1-P);

%% Problem
nVar = 3;                     % number of variables
VarMin = [0 0 0];              % lower bound of variable
VarMax = [10 10 10];              % upper bound of varible
%% PSO parameters
MaxIter =300; % max number of iterations
nPop = 100; % population size
w = 1; % inertia 
d = 0.99; % damping ratio of the inertia
c1 = 2; % acceleration 1
c2 = 2; % acceleration 2
%% Initial
x0.position = [];
x0.velocity = [];
x0.fitness = [];
x0.best.position =[];
x0.best.fitness =[];
x = repmat(x0,nPop,1); % Make a population
global_best.fitness = -inf;
% Generate initial population
for i = 1: nPop
    % generate random solutions
    for k = 1:nVar
        x(i).position(k) = unifrnd(VarMin(k),VarMax(k));
    end    
    x(i).velocity = zeros([1 nVar]); % initial velocity
    x(i).fitness = objective_function(x(i).position); 
    x(i).best.position = x(i).position; % update the local best
    x(i).best.fitness = x(i).fitness;   % update the local best

Sorry! This is only a half of the code.

Notice: It’s possible to watch the video and re-type the Matlab code yourself – that would take you from 1 to 3 hours; or with just €1.99 (the cost of a cup of coffee), you can download/copy the whole Matlab code within 2 minutes. It’s your choice to make.

Original price is €4.99 but today it’s only €1.99 (save €3 today – available for a limited time only)

Download the whole Matlab code here (Membership Code ID: 013)

No need to build the Matlab code from scratch because it’s very time-consuming. My idol, Jim Rohn, once said: “Time is more value than money. You can get more money, but you cannot get more time”. If you think this code can be used in your research/teaching work, you should download it and then customize/modify/apply it to your work, without any obligation of citing the original source if you don’t want. However, redistribution (i.e., downloading the code/script here and then making it available on another site on the Internet) is strictly prohibited.

If you have any question or problem, please contact Dr. Panda by email: learnwithpanda2018@gmail.com

Thank you very much and good luck with your research!
