The artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is inspired by the behavior of honey bees. It is a relatively new optimization algorithm that has been proved competitive with conventional biology-inspired algorithms. The IABC algorithm is used, with the differential evolution (DE) algorithm added to the new solution search equation of ABC, to improve convergence speed. The IABC adopts the reward-based roulette wheel selection mechanism initially to divide all solutions suitably into feasible and infeasible solutions; thereafter, it divides them based on feasible and infeasible solutions for the implementation of incentives and punishments. Finally, the proposed method is applied to nonlinear system control problems. The experimental results of this study demonstrate the performance of IABC against that of other algorithms in nonlinear problems.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
