Quantum‐inspired optimisation algorithm via energy equipartition and elitists preservation
Lei Mu · Electronics Letters · 2019
Optimisation problems exist widely in real‐life applications. A quantum‐inspired optimisation algorithm under the harmonic oscillator well transforms the function optimisation into solving the ground state wave function through the transformation of the Schrödinger equation. A novel approach using energy equipartition for the exchange of energy information is present to construct the candidate solutions. Elitists preservation is utilised to preserve dominant energy information for the improvement of search efficiency. Experiments on benchmark test functions for the 30D problem show that the proposed approaches are more effective than compared algorithms.
