Abstract
A method is proposed for recognizing and predicting non-linear systems employing a radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) and robust hybrid particle swarm optimization (HPSO) approach. A PSO is coupled with a spiral-shaped mechanism (HPSO-SSM) to optimize the PSO performance by mitigating its constraints, such as sluggish convergence and the local minimum dilemma. Three advancements are incorporated into the hypothesized HPSO-SSM algorithms to achieve remarkable results. First, the diversity of the search process is promoted to update the inertial weight w based on the logistic map sequence. Then, two distinct parameters are trained in the original position update algorithm to enhance the work efficiency of the successive generation. Finally, the proposed approach employs a spiral-shaped mechanism as a local search operator inside the optimum solution space. Moreover, the HPSO-SSM method concurrently improves the RBFNN parameters and network size, building a model with a compact configuration and higher precision. Two non-linear benchmark functions and the total phosphorus (TP) modelling issue in a waste water treatment process (WWTP) are utilized to assess the overall efficacy of the creative technique. The results of testing indicate that the projected HPSO-SSM-RBFNN algorithm performed very effectively.
