Enhanced PID-based search algorithm based on a novel population diversity metric
摘要
Meta-heuristic intelligent optimization algorithms (MAs) are crucial for solving global optimization problems and complex engineering tasks. However, current MAs lack effective methods for measuring population diversity, which limits the design and improvement of related algorithms. This paper proposes the Shannon Diversity Index (SDI) to assess population diversity and applies it to improve the Portional-Integral-Derivative(PID)-based search algorithm (PSA), introduced in 2023. PSA simulates the feedback mechanism of PID control system and is noted for its simplicity and robust performance. The SDI highlights PSA’s flaws, including ineffective deviation design and a tendency to converge to local optima. To address these issues, we propose an enhanced version, the SPSA, which features a Dynamic Deviation Guidance Mechanism for improved global exploration and an Adaptive Balance Factor (
