A Quick Group Search Optimizer with Passive Congregation and its Convergence Analysis

This paper presents a quick group search optimizer with passive congregation (QGSOPC) for optimum design of pin connected structure. The algorithm is based on the quick group search optimizer (QGSO). The QGSOPC algorithm is verified and compared with the HPSO, GSO and QGSO algorithm used for the designs of two planar and spatial truss structures. The results show that the QGSOPC algorithm not only has preferable convergence rate and accuracy, but also it has the best stability of convergence rate and accuracy. It is desired for QGSOPC to be used more effectively for practical structural optimal design problems.
