摘要
This paper introduces a novel optimization algorithm, group search optimization (GSO) algorithm. The implementation method of this algorithm is presented in detail. The GSO is used to investigate truss structures with continuous variables and was tested by a planar truss optimization problem. The optimization results were compared with that of the particle swarm optimizer (P.SO), the particle swarm optimizer with passive congregation (PSOPC) and the heuristic particle swarm optimizer (HPSO). Results from the tested case illustrate the ability of the GSO to find the optimal results. Test results show GSO has better convergence rate than that of the PSO and PSOPC, and has the same convergence level as that of HPSO.
