When the meta-heuristic algorithm solves the joint resource allocation problem of multi-beam satellites, the computational complexity increases and the algorithm is difficult to converge due to the time delay constraint and capacity constraint. This paper introduced a penalty mechanism in the objective function, and added a penalty value to the objective function of the invalid solution, so that the optimized solution adaptively satisfied these two constraints. Based on this, this paper proposed a joint resource allocation algorithm based on quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization. Simulation results show that the introduction of the penalty strategy solves the problem of difficulty in handling the delay constraint and capacity constraint when applying the meta-heuristic algorithm. The quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization algorithm with penalty mechanism outperforms the existing joint allocation algorithm in terms of allocation fairness index and total system capacity.

To solve the problems of low convergence accuracy and easy to fall into local optimum in the optimization process of the original artificial bee colony algorithm, this paper proposed an enhanced artificial bee colony algorithm with strong and weak ties theory (SWT-ABC). Firstly, it defined the strong and weak ties model in a matrix multi-groups structure and stipulated that the strong ties individuals randomly guided the search process from three directions to improve the convergence speed and accuracy. In order to enhance the ability to jump out of the local optimum, SWT-ABC adopted the interaction of weak ties individuals among subgroups to enhance the population diversity. Finally the algorithm added the reverse learning mechanism of scout bees and determined appropriate upper limit of honey source to improve the utilization efficiency of the evaluation times. Through the numerical experiment of benchmark functions and comparisons with 12 improved intelligent optimization algorithms, it shows that the SWT-ABC has high convergence accuracy and good robustness, and also gets good performance in solving high-dimensional optimization problems.

In order to solve the problem that the original sparrow search algorithm (Sparrow Search Algorithm, SSA) has reduced population diversity and the weak local development ability makes it difficult to jump out of the local optimum under the condition of approaching the global optimum. This paper proposes a sparrow search algorithm based on tangential flight (tangent flight Sparrow Search Algorithm, tanSSA). First of all, using adaptive t-distribution strategy to improve the finder location update formula can improve the individual sparrow’s optimization ability and prevent the algorithm from maturing. Then, the tangent flight strategy in the tangent search algorithm can enhance the search space ability of the algorithm, and can make the algorithm jump out of the advantage of the local optimal solution. In original sparrow search algorithm, using the tangent flight disturbance strategy to disturb the optimal solution. The combination of these two strategies can effectively improve the exploration and development performance of tanSSA algorithm. Finally, using 12 standard benchmark functions to test and verify the optimization performance of tanSSA algorithm combined with Wilcoxon rank sum test, and compared with the original SSA algorithm, whale optimization algorithm, particle swarm optimization algorithm and adaptive t-distribution SSA algorithm. The experimental results show that the optimization ability and convergence speed of the sparrow search algorithm based on tangent flight have a significant improvement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
