Abstract:
The swarm intelligence algorithm has become an important method to solve optimization problems because of its excellent self-organization, self-adaptation, and self-learning characteristics. However, when a traditional swarm intelligence algorithm faces high and complex multi-peak problems, population diversity is quickly lost, which leads to the premature convergence of the algorithm. In order to solve this problem, dimension entropy is proposed as a measure of population diversity, and a diversity control mechanism is proposed to guide the updating of the swarm intelligence algorithm. It maintains the diversity of the algorithm in the early stage and ensures the convergence of the algorithm in the later stage. Experimental results show that the performance of the improved algorithm is better than that of the original algorithm.

Entropy
When an ideal gas expands isothermally, the disorder in the gas increases. From the molecular perspective, the gas molecules have more volume to move around in.

Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics
The relation between entropy and disorder can be illustrated with the example of the phase change of ice to water. In ice, the molecules are located at specific sites giving a solid state, whereas, in a liquid form, these molecules are much freer to move. The molecular arrangement has therefore become more randomized. Although the change in average...
