Rural e-commerce logistics path optimization method by carbon emission costs and CCSO
Published on 2026-06-25 by @OXFORD
Abstract: AbstractThis study tackles nonlinear programming challenges caused by the dual constraints of sparse, discrete rural e-commerce logistics networks and low-carbon time requirements. The study develops a path optimization model that combines a carbon tax mechanism with dynamic scheduling strategies. Traditional swarm intelligence algorithms often fall into local optima and lose population diversity in high-dimensional discrete spaces. To address these issues, this study proposes an improved Chicke[...]
Our summary: This study presents a path optimization model for rural e-commerce logistics that incorporates carbon emission costs. It introduces an improved Chicken Swarm Optimization (CCSO) to enhance global search capabilities. The results indicate significant reductions in operational and carbon emission costs through optimized routing.

A case study for multiple chaotic mapping snake optimizer
Published on 2026-03-26 by @OXFORD
Abstract: AbstractIn recent years, chaos theory has been widely incorporated into metaheuristic optimization algorithms to enhance their search performance. However, for a given algorithm, there is still a lack of systematic and large-scale comparison regarding the effectiveness of different chaotic maps, and no clear consensus has yet been reached. To address this issue, this paper reviews 12 commonly used classical chaotic maps and summarizes three typical integration strategies of chaotic maps in bio-i[...]
Our summary: This study evaluates the effectiveness of 12 chaotic maps integrated into the snake optimizer. Simulation experiments reveal that performance improvements vary based on map type and problem characteristics. The tent chaotic map shows the most consistent enhancement, while a comparative analysis highlights the chaotic snake optimizer s advantages and limitations.
