Abstract

The current quantum evolution algorithms have slow convergence rate and poor robustness. In order to overcome the two shortages, a novel self-adaptive quantum genetic algorithm is proposed. Firstly, the new algorithm adopts an encoding method which is based on the Bloch spherical coordinates. Secondly, in the process of searching the optimal solution, a self-adaptive factor is introduced to reflect the relative change rates which are relative to the difference of the best individual's objective fitness between the parent generation and the child generation. The convergence rate and direction of the algorithm can be improved by adjusting the factor. The rules of updating the rotation angle and are constructed. Finally, using hadamard gate of the quantum in the mutation strategy, it can enhance the diversity of population. The simulation results of the optimizing problem of the multidimensional complex functions show that the new algorithm has not only avoided effectively the premature and improved the convergence rate, but also boosted strikingly efficiency and stability robustness of the algorithm.

Quantum genetic algorithm based on Boltzmann selection mechanism

Haijing Ji, Junmei Sun

In order to save computation time and avoid falling into local optima in quantum genetic algorithm (QGA), this paper proposes a quantum genetic algorithm based on Boltzmann selection mechanism (B_QGA). The proposed algorithm has several novel characteristics. Firstly, Quantum bits are encoded by angle and introduce the constant factor, aiming at enhancing calculated amount. Secondly, a new dynamic rotation angle adjustment strategy is presented to achieve updated chromosome, and individuals directly evolve to the current optimal solution with linear increasing rate, which greatly improve the rate of convergence and the ability of global search. Thirdly, instead of roulette selection mode, Boltzmann selection mechanism is employed for avoiding the local optimal problem. Finally, for the selected offspring's individuals, Hadamard door is proposed to perform mutation operation to sustain stability and diversity of population. The experiment results on three complicated continuous functions show the proposed algorithm is able to find the best solution in very short time and has excellent global search ability comparing to quantum genetic algorithm (QGA) and genetic algorithm (GA).
