Abstract
The matter state change, which is a common phenomenon in nature, shows the process that the matter how to reach the optimal state in the environment. This paper presents a novel particle state change model (PSCM) inspired by mimicking the process of the matter state change. Based on PSCM, a novel particle state change (PSC) algorithm is proposed for solving continuous optimization problems. As a new algorithm, PSC has many differences from other similar nature-inspired algorithms in terms of the basic principle models, mathematical formalization and properties. This paper considers three states of the matter, namely gas state, liquid state and solid state. In a certain circumstance, the matter always converts from an unstable state into a stable state. It is similar to find the optimal solution of an optimization problem. The proposed algorithm also has the advantages in the respects of higher intelligence, effectiveness and lower computation complexity. And the convergence property of PSC is discussed in detail. In order to illustrate the ability of solving optimization problems in continuous domain, the new proposed algorithm is tested on basic function optimization, CEC2016 single-objective real-parameter numerical optimization and CEC2016 learning-base real-parameter single-objective optimization, and compared with eleven existing algorithms. The numerous simulations have shown the effectiveness and suitability of the proposed approach.
