The code defines a class called GA_PSO, which appears to be a hybrid optimization algorithm combining Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). This code is part of a program that seems to be handling some kind of network optimization problem involving base stations and edge computing. In the code: 1. The class initializes parameters for both GA and PSO algorithms: GA parameters: crossover probability (pc), mutation probability (pm) PSO parameters: inertia weight (w), learning coefficients (c1, c2) General parameters: dimensions, gene length, population size, maximum iterations 2. The class stores several data structures: population: the parent population of solutions V: velocity vectors for PSO new_popu: the new population after selection operations new_V: updated velocity vectors fitness: fitness values for all genes/solutions elite: elite genes pbest: personal best solutions 3. Network-specific variables: edge_num: number of edge nodes tran_v: transmission speed (20 MB*8/s = Mbit/s) bs_local: base station locations edge_local: edge node locations work_size_total: total work size matrix, path, dis: matrices for distances/paths tran_time: transmission time edge_use: edge usage 4. The read () method reads base station coordinates from an Excel file: It opens a file Reads base station coordinates Stores them in bs_local The GA_PSO class includes several key methods: 1. read () - Loads data from Excel files including: Edge node locations Task information Network topology matrix 2. Dijkstra () - Implements the Dijkstra algorithm to find shortest paths in the network 3. init_Population() - Initializes the population for the genetic algorithm with random values 4. init_task() - Prepares task data for processing 5. max_min() - Helper function to find maximum and minimum values while handling infinity values 6. com_fit() and com_fit1() - Calculate fitness values for the population and track best solutions 7. com_parallel() - Core computation function that processes task distribution according to the gene representation The algorithm appears to be solving a task allocation problem in an edge computing network, where tasks from base stations need to be distributed to edge servers while optimizing for path distances and workload.
