An Adaptive Fuzzy Chicken Swarm Optimization Algorithm

• The chicken swarm optimization (CSO) algorithm is a new swarm intelligence optimization (SIO) algorithm and has been widely used in many engineering domains. However, there are two apparent problems with the CSO algorithm, i.e., slow convergence speed and difficult to achieve global optimal solutions. Aiming at attacking these two problems of CSO, in this paper, we propose an adaptive fuzzy chicken swarm optimization (FCSO) algorithm. The proposed FCSO uses the fuzzy system to adaptively adjust the number of chickens and random factors of the CSO algorithm and achieves an optimal balance of exploitation and exploration capabilities of the algorithm. We integrate the cosine function into the FCSO to compute the position update of roosters and improve the convergence speed. We compare the FCSO with eight commonly used, state-of-the-art SIO algorithms in terms of performance in both low- and high-dimensional spaces. We also verify the FCSO algorithm with the nonparametric statistical Friedman test. The results of the experiments on the 30 black-box optimization benchmarking (BBOB) functions demonstrate that our FCSO outperforms the other SIO algorithms in both convergence speed and optimization accuracy. In order to further test the applicability of the FCSO algorithm, we apply it to four typical engineering problems with constraints on the optimization processes. The results show that the FCSO achieves better optimization accuracy over the standard CSO algorithm.
