Abstract:

An improved gravitational search algorithm (GSA) optimized by Tent chaos and Variable neighborhood Local search (TVL-GSA) is proposed to overcome the problem of easily falling into local optimum and defect of improving accuracy. First, tent chaos is improved to initialize the population and enhance the global search ability of the algorithm by using its ergodic uniformity and randomness; second, the particle speed and gravity coefficient formulas are improved to accelerate the convergence speed; third, a variable neighborhood local search strategy based on Levy flight is designed to guide the population to escape from local optimum and improve search accuracy. Simulation results show that the new algorithm can effectively inhibit the local optimum and has a better optimization accuracy and stability than other test algorithms. The new algorithm is used to optimize the radial basis function neural network (RBFNN). The identification results of the nonlinear system show that the improved RBFNN has a better model approximation ability and generalization level than the standard RBFNN and back propagation neural networks (BPNN).
